This review aims to provide an overview of neoplastic lesions associated with genetic diseases affecting the female reproductive organs. It seeks to enhance our understanding of the radiological aspects in diagnosing genetic diseases including hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes, Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, and Swyer syndrome, and explores the patterns and mechanisms of inheritance that require elucidation. Additionally, we discuss the imaging characteristics of lesions occurring in other regions due to the same genetic diseases...

PURPOSE: Metastatic melanoma lymph nodes (MMLns) might be challenging to detect on MR-WBI, as both MMLns and normal lymph nodes (NLns) can show restricted water diffusion. Our purpose is to assess the potential contribution of the DIXON sequence in differentiating MMLns from NLns. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We followed a cohort of 107 patients with stage IIIb/c and IV skin melanoma for 32 months using MR-WBI with DIXON, STIR, and DWI/ADC sequences. We compared signal intensity (SI) values of MMLns and NLns in the four series of the DIXON sequence (in/out-of-phase, fat_only, and water_only series)...

This study aimed to present the treatment patterns and outcomes for adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. Sixty-one sinonasal ACC patients were retrospectively reviewed: 31 (50.8%) underwent surgery followed by postoperative radiation therapy (S+PORT), and 30 (49.2%) received definitive radiation therapy (D(C)RT). T4 disease was significantly more frequent in the D(C)RT group (25.8% vs. 80.0%, p < 0.001), where all T4b disease patients underwent D(C)RT. The 5-year local failure-free survival (LFFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival were 61...

Immune-checkpoint inhibitors have profoundly changed cancer treatment, improving the prognosis of many oncologic patients. However, despite the good efficacy of these drugs, their mechanism of action, which involves the activation of the immune system, can lead to immune-related adverse events, which may affect almost all organs. Pulmonary adverse events are relatively common, and potentially life-threatening complications may occur. The diagnosis is challenging due to the wide and non-specific spectrum of clinical and radiological manifestations...

Considering the cost and invasiveness of monitoring postoperative minimal residual disease (MRD) of colorectal cancer (CRC) after adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (ACT), we developed a favorable approach based on methylated circulating tumor DNA to detect MRD after radical resection. Analyzing the public database, we identified the methylated promoter regions of the genes FGD5, GPC6, and MSC. Using digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR), we termed the "amplicon of methylated sites using a specific enzyme" assay as "AMUSE...

Atraumatic muscle disorders comprise a very wide range of skeletal muscle diseases, including metabolic, inflammatory, autoimmune, infectious, ischemic, and neoplastic involvement of the muscles. Therefore, one must take clinical and laboratory data into consideration to elucidate the differential diagnoses, as well as the distribution of the muscle compromise along the body-whether isolated or distributed along the body in a symmetric or asymmetrical fashion. Assessment of muscular disorders often requires imaging investigation before image-guided biopsy or more invasive procedures; therefore, radiologists should understand the advantages and limitations of imaging methods for proper lesion evaluation and be aware of the imaging features of such disorders, thus contributing to proper decision-making and good patient outcomes...

Introduction The cysts of the maxillofacial region account for one of the most common pathologies of the head and neck region after the mucosal pathologies. Radiography provides an essential clue in early diagnosis and triaging, but it continues further as it is used to evaluate the post-treatment outcome. However, manual analysis is prone to errors. In this scenario, fractal analysis (FA) in radiographs uses mathematical methods to analyse the changes in grey scales in a given radiographic image. FA in odontogenic cysts is used to characterise their complexity, uncover hidden patterns, monitor treatment response, and potentially provide prognostic information...
