Angiosarcoma of the superficial femoral artery with distal embolization.

Angiosarcoma of the intima is a very rare tumor. The authors report a case which involved early metastases to the periphery of the leg. Cramping pain, circumscribed clusters of cells, and gangrene appear to be characteristic and should be kept in mind, as this condition imitates occlusive arteriosclerotic disease.

The evaluation of pathologic alterations of juxtaosseous soft tissue by xeroradiography.

Xeroradiography proved extremely helpful in (a) evaluation of soft-tissue masses of both the axial and appendicular skeleton; (b) quantifying soft-tissue changes in advanced rheumatoid arthritis; (c) evaluation of bony involvement by an adjacent soft-tissue tumor or infection; (d) evaluation of rib lesions or rib integrity; and (e) assessment of bones in casted extremities. The technique was not helpful in the following conditions: early soft-tissue changes of rheumatoid arthritis; detection of minimal skeletal trauma; arthrography of the knee; evaluation of any portion of the vertebral column; evaluation of submandibular neck masses; or assessment of abdominal films for visceral structures.

[Ultrasound diagnosis of adrenal gland diseases].

Diseases of the adrenal glands are detectable by means of ultrasound under the condition of an enlargement of the organs. Due to the different advantages, sonography remains the first choice of imaging techniques, though computer tomography still ist superior and most useful for interdisciplinary discussion. Possibilities and limitations of the ultrasound evaluation of the adrenal glands are discussed.
