Primary pulmonary primitive neuroectodermal tumor: CT and skeletal scintigraphic image features with pathologic correlation (2006: 6b)

We describe a rare case of a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) originating in the lung of a 28-year-old woman. A lung mass was detected incidentally on a chest radiograph taken before a Caesarian delivery. The chest P-A view showed a well-defined, lobulated mass in the right lower lobe with a small pleural effusion on the right. A thoracic CT with contrast enhancement showed a lobulated, heterogeneous, enhanced mass of approximately 9.2 × 8.4 × 6.3xa0cm with inner amorphous calcifications in the right lower lobe and a small right pleural effusion. A right lower lobectomy was performed 1 month after delivery. The pathology report was a primary pulmonary PNET with focal visceral pleural involvement.

Homocystinuria presenting with portal vein thrombosis and pancreatic pseudocyst: a case report.

Abstract Homocystinuria is a rare, inherited metabolic disease frequently associated with severe multisystemic involvement such as dislocated lenses, skeletal deformities, mental retardation, and premature vascular occlusion. Arterial and venous thromboembolic events present frequent and life-threatening complications in homocystinuric patients. It has been suggested that mild homocystinemia would be a risk factor for vascular disease.
