Endometrial carcinoma is the most common gynaecological cancer in developed countries. Most cases are low-volume/low-grade tumour at presentation; however, high-grade subtypes may present with locally advanced disease with higher propensity for spread outside of the pelvis. MRI has a role in local staging of the tumour and helping the clinicians in treatment decision making. This pictorial essay gives examples of endometrial carcinoma at different stages with histological correlation. It also explores the potential limitations and pitfalls of imaging in this context.

Adrenal haemorrhage is a rare condition that has the potential to cause life-threatening adrenal insufficiency, especially if it affects both the adrenal glands. The difficulty in diagnosing adrenal haemorrhages lies in the non-specific clinical presentation including hypotension and abdominal pain. The following case report demonstrates the possible clinical presentations of non-traumatic adrenal haemorrhages and the method of diagnosing and treating adrenal insufficiency. In a medical era where overdiagnosis and “incidentalomas” are becoming more prevalent, this case nicely demonstrates the fortunate use of imaging to detect a potentially life-threatening condition.
