IntroductionPseudo-Meigs' syndrome is a rare pathological entity characterized by the presence of a pelvic mass other than an ovarian fibroma. The mass is associated with ascites with or without hydrothorax.Case presentationWe describe the case of a 41-year-old Caucasian woman with a large uterine leiomyoma associated with massive ascites. A magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a large subserosal leiomyoma with multiple areas of cystic degeneration.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of pseudo-Meigs' syndrome caused by a uterine leiomyoma and diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging. The pathophysiology of this syndrome and the role of magnetic resonance imaging are emphasized in this case report.

The results demonstrate that the in-hospital acute graft failure rate is 3.4% (6.8% of patients). Multi-slice computed tomography is a robust technique to assess novel therapies to reduce the rate of graft attrition further, and might be clinically useful in patients with persistent or early recurrence of symptoms after CABG.

SUMMARYBrain irradiation has several well-known long-term side effects, including radiation-induced neoplasms and vasculopathy. In this case report, we describe an extremely rare case of meningioma and 15 cavernomas developing in a 29-year-old man, 19 years after cranial irradiation for posterior cranial fossa medulloblastoma. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a radiationinduced meningioma accompanied by this many radiation-induced cavernous angiomas. BACKGROUND

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer. The main risk factors associated with HCC development include hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, alcohol consumption, aflatoxin B1, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. However, hepatocarcinogenesis is a complex multistep process. Various factors lead to hepatocyte malignant transformation and HCC development. Diagnosis and surveillance of HCC can be made with the use of liver ultrasound (US) every 6 mo. However, the sensitivity of this imaging method to detect HCC in a cirrhotic liver is limited, due to the abnormal liver parenchyma. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are considered to be most useful tools for at-risk patients or patients with inadequate US. Liver biopsy is still used for diagnosis and prognosis of HCC in specific nodules that cannot be definitely characterized as HCC by imaging. Recently the American College of Radiology designed the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS), which is a comprehensive system for standardized interpretation of CT and MRI liver examinations that was first proposed in 2011. In 2018, it was integrated into the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases guidance statement for HCC. LI-RADS is designed to ensure high sensitivity, precise categorization, and high positive predictive value for the diagnosis of HCC and is applied to “high-risk populations” according to specific criteria. Most importantly LI-RADS criteria achieved international collaboration and consensus among liver experts around the world on the best practices for caring for patients with or at risk for HCC.

Tumors of the sellar region are not infrequent in pediatric population and differ notably from the adult sellar tumors. Craniopharyngiomas represent almost half of sellar region tumors in children, followed by hypothalamic-chiasmatic gliomas, hypothalamic hamartomas, and germinomas. Other tumors or tumoral lesions are more infrequent. This article provides an overview of the imaging characteristics of pediatric sellar/suprasellar tumors on conventional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging that can orient the diagnosis or limit the differential diagnostic range. Furthermore, the physiologic characteristics assessed by advanced MR imaging techniques are also described in detail, providing a better preoperative characterization of pediatric sellar/suprasellar pathology.
