    Bilateral Multifocal Hamartoma of the Chest Wall in an Infant
    (Int Scientific Information Inc, 2015) Yilmaz, Erdem; Erol, Oguz Bulent; Pekcan, Melih; Gundogdu, Gokcen; Bilgic, Bilge; Gun, Feryal; Yekeler, Ensar
    Background: Hamartoma of the thoracic wall is a rare benign tumor that occurs in infancy and can be mistaken for a malignancy due to its clinical and imaging features. Hamartomas are extrapleural soft tissue lesions that cause rib expansion and destruction and appear on imaging as cystic areas with fluid levels and calcification. They can cause scoliosis, pressure on the neighboring lung parenchyma and mediastinal displacement. While conservative treatment is recommended in asymptomatic cases, growing lesions require surgical excision. Case Report: In this report, we present the imaging findings in a 3-month-old infant that presented with a firm swelling in the chest wall and was histopathologically confirmed to have a bilateral multifocal hamartoma. Conclusions: Radiological imaging methods are important for accurate diagnosis of this very rare condition that can be confused with a malignancy.

    CT-angiographic demonstration of hepatic collateral pathways due to superior vena cava obstruction in Behcet disease
    (Turkish Soc Radiology, 2010) Temizoz, Osman; Genchellac, Hakan; Yekeler, Ensar; Demir, Mustafa Kemal; Unlu, Ercument; Ozdemir, Huseyin
    Behcet disease (BD) is a chronic multisystemic inflammatory disorder, mainly characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, and uveitis. Large vein thrombosis in BD is unusual; when present, it is most frequently seen in the inferior or superior vena cava (SVC). The authors describe an unusual hepatic pseudolesion caused by abnormal focal enhancement through collateral pathways to the liver in two BD patients with SVC occlusion on three-dimensional multi-detector computed tomography, using volume rendering and maximum intensity projection techniques. BD should be suspected in patients presenting a focal increased hepatic enhancement area with collaterals caused by occlusion of the SVC without evidence of a hypercoagulable state or malignant mediastinal or thoracic venous inlet obstruction.

    Hepatic pseudolesion around the falciform ligament: Prevalence, aberrant venous supply, and fatty infiltration evaluated by multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007) Genchellac, Hakan; Yilmaz, Sabri; Ucar, Adem; Dursun, Memduh; Demir, Mustafa Kemal; Yekeler, Ensar
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and aberrant venous supply (inferior veins of Sappey) of hypoattenuating hepatic pseudolesions seen around the falciform ligament on portal-dominant phase multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the frequency of fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions on chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods: Portal-dominant phase abdominal MDCT examinations of 728 patients were evaluated for the presence of a pseudolesion around the falciform ligament, and those with a presumed pseudolesion underwent chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging to detect the fatty infiltration. Reconstructed MDCT images were investigated for the presence of an inferior vein of Sappey, and 30 patients without a pseudolesion were evaluated as a control group. Results: A total of 160 pseudolesions Were detected around the falciform ligament in 146 (20%) patients. The longest diameter of the pseudolesions was in the craniocaudal direction in most patients (61%). An inferior vein of Sappey supplying these pseudolesions was depicted in 40 (27%) patients, and it was highly significant (P = 0.001) compared with the controls for the presence of a pseudolesion around the falciform ligament. Fatty infiltration was found in 47 (29%) patients. Conclusions: Hepatic pseudolesions around the falciform ligament are frequently encountered on portal-dominant phase MDCT images. Detection of craniocaudal extension, inferior veins of Sappey, and fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions, which were firstly described in this article, with the largest subject group based on cross-sectional imaging, might be valuable in excluding true tumors.

    Prevalence and MDCT characteristics of asymptomatic Bochdalek hernia in adult population
    (Turkish Soc Radiology, 2010) Temizoz, Osman; Genchellac, Hakan; Yekeler, Ensar; Umit, Hasan; Unlu, Ercument; Ozdemir, Huseyin; Demir, M. Kemal
    PURPOSE To determine the frequency of asymptomatic incidental Bochdalek hernias in adults, using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT), and to ascertain any possible relationship between Bochdalek hernia and age, gender, or body mass index (BMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Seven hundred and forty-eight abdominal, and 602 chest MDCT scans, which had been performed for a variety of reasons on 1350 adults, were investigated retrospectively. Location and size of Bochdalek hernias seen on these scans were correlated with age, gender, and BMI. On the basis of BMI, patients with Bochdalek hernia were classified as group A (BMI <25) and group B (BMI >= 25). RESULTS A total of 171 Bochdalek hernias were identified in 142 of 1350 patients, ranging in age from 25 to 90 years (median age, 57.2), representing a prevalence of 10.5%. Sixty left-sided unilateral Bochdalek hernias (42.2%), 53 (37.4%) right-sided unilateral Bochdalek hernias, and 29 (20.4%) bilateral Bochdalek hernias were detected. Forty-five (31.6%) were categorized as small, 82 (57.8%) were medium-sized, and 1 5 (10.5%) were large. BMI was <25 in 62 patients (43.7%), and >= 25 in 80 patients (56.3%). Fourteen patients (9.9%) were young adults, while 86 (60.6%) were middle aged, and 42 (29.6%) were elderly. No statistically significant relationship was found between dimensions or hernia locations and age, gender, or BMI of patients with Bochdalek hernia. CONCLUSION In view of the high prevalence of Bochdalek hernia in our study (10.5%), the multiplanar and reconstruction features of MDCT seem to facilitate the diagnosis of asymptomatic incidental Bochdalek hernia. No relationship was found between asymptomatic incidental Bochdalek hernia and age, gender, or BMI in adults.
