Suture granuloma after orchiectomy: sonography, doppler and elastography features

ABSTRACTSuture granuloma is a mass forming benign lesion that develops at the site of surgery as a foreign body reaction to non-absorbable suture material. We present a case of suture granuloma that developed at the inguinal region after orchiectomy, and define the sonography, color Doppler sonography and real-time ultrasound elastography findings in correlation with the histopathological findings

Update in the management of skeletal related events for metastatic prostate cancer: Denosumab, Alfaradin

Bone metastases are the most important cause of morbidity and mortality in men with prostate cancer. Skeleton related events (SRE) associated with bone metastases is a major health and economic problem in these patients. Zoledronic acid was the first treatment choice for prevention of bone loss and metastases in prostate cancer. However due to the difficulty in application of zolendronic acid and adverse effects of the drug on renal function, other treatment options were being investigated

RCC and lymphadenectomy

Objective: Today, there is still controversy about the role of lymphadenectomy in kidney tumours despite recent advances in the diagnosis and management. Role of lymphadenectomy in kidney tumours is revised in this paper

Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography in Bladder Carcinoma

The purpose of the current review was to conduct a systemic review and meta-analysis of the published literature to discuss the role of positron emission tomography (PET) or positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) in urinary bladder cancer. PET/CT has a limited role in the detection of urinary system cancers because fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is excreted with urine. However removal of F-18 FDG from the bladder with diuretic and oral hydration has a role in the detection and restaging of bladder cancer with PET/CT. Locoregional lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor in patients with bladder cancer. The ability to identify metastatic disease preoperatively is of utmost importance in determining treatment. Multimodal treatment, depending on preoperative stage, may improve survival

Prostatic carcinoma presenting with painless parotid mass

Metastasis of prostate cancer to the parotid gland is exceedingly rare, with only 4 cases reported in the literature. We present the case of an 83-year-old white man who had a painless parotid mass that was diagnosed as metastatic prostate cancer. Immunohistochemical staining with prostate-specific antigen was positive. This is the first case of prostate cancer presenting with a painless parotid mass. Prostate cancer can be metastatic to the head and neck region, and this should be kept in mind when treating patients with this disease. © 1995, All rights reserved

Case 89: Retroperitoneal extraskeletal osteosarcoma.

The firm nature of the tumor at palpation, elevated serum alkaline phosphatase level, and imaging findings should have led to the most likely diagnosis of retroperitoneal extraskeletal osteosarcoma. © RSNA, 2005
