Case report 649: Arteriovenous malformation (arteriovenous hemangioma) of the distal thigh with bone involvement.

The case discussed is that of a 31-year-old woman with long-standing hypertrophy and vascular symptoms of the right lower extremity. The etiology of these abnormalities remained undiagnosed, although the patient was treated symptomatically. Following presentation, both MR images and contrast-enhanced CT scans were adequate for diagnosis of the underlying arteriovenous malformation. This was confirmed by arteriography, and the patient received palliative treatment by sequential intra-arterial embolization.

Case report 813: Hibernoma of the left thigh.

The MRI features of a hibernoma have been described, as no previous report of MRI findings was found in the literature. The hibernoma presents as a well-delineated soft tissue mass with tissue attenuation intermediate between that of skeletal muscle and subcutaneous fat. Marked contrast enhancement is noted.

Blood flow in thigh muscle during bicycling exercise at varying work rates.

16 male subjects exercised at 25, 50, 75, 90, 100 and 120% of VO2max on a von Döbeln bicycle ergometer. The muscle mass was measured in a whole body counter. Muscle blood flow (MBF) estimated from the rate of 133Xe clearance from m. rectus femoris showed a levelling-off at about 0.5 1 of blood per min and liter of muscle tissue (equal to an irrigation coefficient of 0.5 min-1) at work rates above 50 to 60% of VO2 max. This concurs with clearance data from the literature. However, when MBF is calculated from VO2, muscle mass, and reliable values for a- vo2 differences, MBF in the present subjects would: 1. Not level off before 90 to 100% VO2max, 2. reach a value of 1.0 min-1. The underestimation of MBF calculated from 133Xe clearance and the levelling-off shown by this method may be due to a systematic error inherent in the method, the 133Xe clearance being diffusion limited at high flow rates.
