[Gastrointestinal polyposis in the Cowden syndrome].
A case of Cowden disease (multiple hamartoma syndrome) with marked gastrointestinal polyposis is presented. The differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal polyposis syndromes is discussed.

[Serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary: unusual visualization of calcified intraperitoneal metastases in CT and bone scintigraphy].
In a 45-year old patient with serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary CT showed small calcifications in metastases along peritoneal surfaces. These "psammoma bodies" indicated abdominal implants, which in other respects would not have been demonstrable via CT scans because of their small size. During bone scintigraphy the calcifications caused unusual extraskeletal focal uptake of 99mTc-MDP in the abdomen.

[Spontaneous infarct of the omentum majus: visualization by computed tomography].
In a case report, idiopathic segmental infarction of the greater omentum is demonstrated for the first time by means of computed tomography. This rare disease of unknown etiology can mimic the clinical presentation of acute appendicitis or cholecystitis.

[Computed tomographic diagnosis of the diaphragmatic lymph nodes in malignant lymphomas].
132 patients with malignant lymphomas were studied retrospectively. In 11.3% CT revealed involvement of diaphragmatic lymph nodes. The anatomy and CT appearance of these lymph nodes when involved are discussed.
Diaphragm↗
[Spontaneous rupture of an infected kidney cyst].
Spontaneous or traumatic rupture of renal cysts is a rare occurrence. The contents of the cyst can perforate into the renal calyx system or into the perirenal space. Perforation into the peritoneal cavity has also been described (1, 2, 4, 5).
Abscess↗
[Unusual clinical forms of extrapleural (epipleural) hematoma on the chest x-ray].
Two cases of extrapleural hematoma, proven during autopsy, are presented. Plain chest films did not demonstrate the typical signs of an extrapleural mass lesion. The roentgenologic differential diagnosis of a free or partially encapsulated pleural effusion and the pathogenesis of extrapleural hematoma are discussed.

[Agenesis of the inferior vena cava].
A case of agenesia of 3 of the 4 segments the vena cava inferior is presented. The embryogenesis of the v. cava inferior is discussed in so far as is relevant for the malformation in this case. Exact diagnosis and classification can be made via intravenous and intraarterial DSA and computed tomography.

[Involvement of diaphragmatic lymph nodes in Hodgkin's disease].
The authors report on a case of Hodgkin's disease with enlargement of diaphragmal lymph nodes. Detailed attention is paid to the anatomy, radiological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of these mediastinal lymph nodes. The clinical importance of this group of lymph nodes in Hodgkin's disease and in non-Hodgkin lymphomas is discussed.

Computed tomographic diagnosis of left superior vena cava and absence of the azygos vein: case report.
The radiologic findings on plain chest films and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CCT) of the thorax in a case of isolated persistence of the left superior vena cava associated with absence of the right azygos vein are described. Chest x-rays allowed a presumptive diagnosis of the vascular anomaly. Confirmation of this anomaly was achieved by CT.
