Pancreatic plasmacytomas in a patient with multiple myeloma: CT and ultrasound findings

Extramedullary plasmacytomas are an unusual manifestation of multiple myeloma. They occur most frequently in tissues or organs rich in reticuloendothelial cells. Pancreatic plasmacytomas are rare, with only a few case reports in the literature. We present the ultrasound (US) and computed tomographic (CT) findings of two pancreatic plasmacytomas in a patient with multiple myeloma

Complications of prostate cryosurgery: CT findings in three patients

Abstract We present the computed tomographic (CT) findings of complications of prostate cryosurgery in three patients. One patient had injury to the bladder base and rectum, which resulted in ureteral obstruction and vesicorectal fistula. The other two patients had urethral injuries. All three patients had CT evidence of prostate necrosis. If utilization of prostate cryosurgery increases, complications will be encountered more frequently on imaging studies.
