Unusual pelvic complications of a pancreatic pseudocyst.

Pancreatic pseudocysts are notorious for their extension beyond the normal confines of the pancreatic bed. Their inferior extension has been known to involve kidney and ureter. However, involvement of the bladder and rectum is unique although understandable on anatomic grounds. We report an enormous pseudocyst with extension deep into the pelvis to displace both rectum and bladder.

Calcification in polycystic disease.

Two patients with polycystic disease demonstrated extensive calcification in the kidneys, liver, and spleen. Though flecks of calcium have been noted in the walls of such cysts, to the authors' knowledge, curvillinear, arcuate, and central amorphous calcifications have not been previously reported. Dystrophic calcifications may be diagnosed solely on the basis on polycystic disease with superimposed hemorrhage and infection. Polycystic disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of abdominal calcifications.

Glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome complicated by renal vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli: report of two cases.

Two patients with membranous glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome developed renal vein thrombosis and pulmonary emboli. Renal disease appears to be the initiating event in this syndrome complex. While intravenous urography and radionuclide venography are useful, inferior venacavography followed by pulmonary angiography are the definitive diagnostic procedures. Follow-up cavography is indicated to monitor progress of anticoagulant therapy in clot dissolution or recurrence.

Venous invasion in renal vein leiomyosarcoma: case report and review of the literature.

Tumors arising from veins are rare, usually present with nonspecific clinical and imaging findings and almost universally show histology of leiomyosarcoma. This twentieth reported case of primary renal vein leiomyosarcoma demonstrates invasion of the renal vein with endoluminal propagation of tumor into the infrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC), an unreported manifestation. The combination of CT, ultrasound, and angiographic studies allowed differentiation from renal cell carcinoma by suggesting a tumor arising from the renal vein.

Testicular feminization: radiologic considerations in a unique form of cryptorchidism.

A case report of complete testicular feminization is presented. The medical and radiological characteristics of this condition which distinguish it from male cryptorchidism and other disorders of sexual differentiation are discussed. To our knowledge, only three previous case reports have been published in the radiology literature. Our report is the first to describe MRI findings.
