Superior vena cava syndrome caused by behcet’s disease

Background: A-36-year-old man presented with a six-year history of Behçet’s disease and superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome. He said his symptoms related with Behçet disease (recurrent genital and oral ulcers, joint tenderness) did start 20 years ago

Perforation of the urinary bladder wall by foley catheter

Background: A 45-year-old male patient was admitted to the urology department with hematuria. Patient was known with bladder cancer and refused surgery four years ago

Ability and utility of diffusion-weighted MRI with different b values in the evaluation of benign and malignant renal lesions

AIM: To evaluate the ability and the utility of diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with high and low b values to visualize benign and malignant renal lesions, and to determine which b value (b = 100, 600, or 1000 s/mm(2)) was most useful in differentiating benign from malignant renal lesions

Neoplasms of the Testis

Testicular cancer accounts for about 1 % of all cancers in men. Malignant testicular tumors are divided into two main groups: germ cell tumors and non-germ cell tumors. Germ cell tumors are subdivided into two groups: seminomas and nonseminomatous germ cell tumors such as embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, teratoma, choriocarcinoma, and mixed germ cell tumor. Non-germ cell tumors consist of Leydig cell tumor, Sertoli cell tumor, granulosa cell tumors, fibroma\u2013thecoma tumors, mixed sex cord\u2013stromal tumors, lymphoma, leukemia, and metastases. Radiological evaluation of testicular tumors is mainly based on ultrasound findings. The main role of ultrasound examination is to distinguish intratesticular from extratesticular lesions, because the majority of the extratesticular masses are benign and intratesticular masses are more likely to be malignant. MRI has an advantage over ultrasound in distinguishing an intratesticular hematoma from a testicular neoplasm
