CT 4 : sagittal,  C T 5 : frontal section.

Isotopic Tech 99m  scan  made  diagnostic is thyroid tumor with cold nodule come from r ight lobe of thyroid gland.

Operation by the way sternotomy  removed this tumor well bordered,  central solid and cystic parts very highly calcified.

Conclusion:  Goiter tumor  submerged in mediastinum.

MICROSCOPIC REPORT IS  NODULAR GOITER.

CASE 537: GASTRIC LYMPHOMA, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr LE THI THANH THAO, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

Man 63 yo with gastric ulcer being treated for a  long time but not getting better. 

Gastroendoscopy  found a crater ulcer of antrium  but  in 2 times of biopsy only chronic inflamation.

Ultrasound scanning in epigastris  detected antrium thickening of the wall  and hypoechoic (US 1).   

US 2 : many lymph nodes around antrium.  

US 3: CDI, vascular supply for antrum.

US 4: longitudinal scanning of antrum  is  thickening of  the gastric wall.

MSCT scanning of abdomen.

CT 1= crossed section of   antrum with the mass.

CT 2 = scanning with position rotation of antrum showed stenosis.

Radiologist and sonologist diagnostics were gastric cancer.

Operation of gastrectomy.

Specimen 1= antrum tumors.  

Specimen 2 =

Opening of gastric lumen there wered 2 lesions at antrum and body of stomach.

Microscopic report with immuno-histo chemistry  staining is B cell lymphoma  of antrum and infiltrated lymph nodes.

FEMALE  PATIENT 16 YO IN  HEALTH  CHECK-UP  BY ULTRASOUND  DETECTED ASCITES.
MSCT WITH CE FOR DIAGNOSIS= 
CT 1 : CROSSED SECTION DETECTED  2 KIDNEYS BEING PULL UP.

CT 2 : CROSSED SECTION  UPPER    2 CYSTS  RETROPERITONEUM.

CT 3  : SAGITTAL  VIEW, KIDNEYS DEFORMATION AND DEPLACEMENT.

CT 4 : 2 CYSTS RETROPERITONEUM

CT 5 : 3D VIEW  URINARY SYSTEM NORMAL  

RADIOLOGIST SUSPECTED  URINOMA.    PUNCTION ASPIRATION, THE FLUID IS NOT URINE BUT LIKE LYMPHATIC COLLECTION.

ARTER  PUNCTURE ASPIRATION  AND SCLEROTHERAPY.  

MRI 1=THE FLUID IS STILL UPPER  POLE OF  RIGHT KIDNEY AND AROUND LEFT KIDNEY. 

MRI 2 = VASCULAR SUPPLY FOR 2 KIDNEYS IS NORMAL.

ULTRASOUND REVIEW AFTER ONE YEAR.

US 1, US 2:   RIGHT KIDNEY.

US 3, US 4 : LEFT KIDNEY  SHOWED VASCULAR SUPPLY OF 2 KIDNEYS IS NORMAL AND  RENAL FUNCTION IS NORMAL.

CONCLUSION=  IT IS BILATERAL PERIRENAL LYMPHANGIOMATOSIS.

CASE 535: LOWER LEG TUMOR, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr LE THONG LUU, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC VIETNAM.

MAN 57 YO  DETECTED  ONE MASS AT LOWER LEFT LEG, 10 CM ABOVE THE ANKLE JOINT . 

THE MASS IS MOVING IN WALKING, BUT NO PAIN.

ULTRASOUND  ( US 1)  WITH LINEAR PROBE 5 MHz,   THIS TUMOR  IS INTRA SOLEUS MUSCLE,  ROUND

# 3 CM, CENTRAL NECROSIS.

US 2 WITH CURVE PROBE 5MHz  THIS TUMOR  BORDER IS  ROUND.

US 3 : TUMOR INHOMOGEOUS WITH CENTRAL NECROSIS.

US 4:  TUMOR   CLOSE BY A VASCULAR  STRUCTURE.

MRI  WITH CE=

MRI 1:  CROSSED SECTION VIEW,  THE LOCALISATION OF THIS TUMOR.

MRI 2:  LONGITUDINAL SCAN VIEW  THE TUMOR WITH  POSTERIOR TIBIAL ARTERY.

MRI 3: LOW VASCULAR SUPPLY AROUND  TUMOR.

RADIOLOGIST  REPORT IS SUSPECTED  NEURINOMA TUMOR.

CORE BIOPSY  OF THIS TUMOR REPORT IS SCHWANNOMA.

CASE 534: TUMOR INTRA PSOAS MUSCLE, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, Dr LE THONG LUU, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

WOMAN 60YO WITH LUMBAGO ON LEFT SITE.
ULTRASOUND DETECTED HYPOECHOIC MASS INTRA LEFT PSOAS MUSCLE, SIZE 4 CM   LOOKED LIKE ABSCESS   BUT BLOOD TEST IS NORMAL  ( US1, US 2 , US3).

MRI  OF ABDOMEN DETECTED  ONE MASS  WELL BORDERED,  SIZE 4-3CM  INTRA PSOAS MUSCLE NEAR  LEFT LATERAL BORDER OF  LUMBAR SPINE L1  ( MRI 1). 

MRI 2 : SAGITAL VIEW ,  MRI 3 :  T2 W.    

RADIOLOGIST  SUSGESTED  A NEURO TUMOR   

CORE BIOPSY UNDER ULTRASOUND GUIDING IS  NEURINOMA.

OPERATION  REMOVED THIS TUMOR.

CASE 533: RETROPERITONEAL HEMATOMA, Dr PHAN THANH HAI, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.

U S 3: THIS MASS  AT LEFT ILIAC ARTERY.

U S 4 : THIS MASS AT RIGHT ILIAC ARTERY. IT COULD BE A HEMATOMA IN RETROPERITONEUM.
  

EMERGENCY CT CE OF ABDOMEN=
