  Another case of this…….

 My other cases of this:
 Looks similar?
8
  Ddx
  • Liposarcoma
  • Myxoid lipoma
  • Myxoma
  • Infiltrating angiolipoma
  • Duplication cyst  (N=1)
9
Aggressive Angiomyxoma
  • Soft tissue tumor
    • Pelvis and perineum
    • Adult women
    • Often on the right side
  • Fibroblastic/myoblastic origin
  • Locally infiltrative  (aggressive)
  • High risk of local recurrence
    • AAM is regarded as an aggressive neoplasm because of its propensity to recur locally if it is not completely excised
  • Lacks metastatic behavior
10
Case 1:  Dan Cornfeld
  • 76 year old female with episode of dyspnea leading to an US showing an echogenic renal mass, 7.5cm in size.

 Dan,
  • Commence erudite discussion…..

16
Disclaimer
  • I trained at BIDMC
  • Neil Rofsky taught me most of what I know about MRI



  • If I bomb on these cases, you know who to blame.
17
Case 1
  • Summary of findings


  • T2 bright mass above the right kidney
    • Fat, fluid, early hemorrhage

"AML (easy choice"
  • AML (easy choice, most common)
    • Fluid signal
    • No connection to the kidney on any image. Can get extra-renal AML . .
    • Cystic AML?  Unlikely
  • Mixoid Liposarcomas
    • Rarely peri-renal.  Usually in the extremities
    • Don’t enhance in a cystic fashion,  appear “pseudo cystic”
    • Can get liposarcomas of the renal capsule
  • Myelolipomas
    • Rarely Extra-adrenal.
    • Rarely Cystic?
  • Teratomas
  • Lymphangiomas
    • Can contain lipidy fluid but should not have bulk fat
  • Hybernomas (brown fat tumors)
    • Dr. Rofsky did a Nuc Medicine Fellowship . . .
    • Can occasionally have myxoid elements
  • Lipoblastomas
    • Can look exactly like this (figure 5c,d in Radiographics article from Jan 2009).
    • Neoplasm of infants and young children.
  • Paragangliomas can rarely have fat
    • Not connected to adrenal.

23
Dx
  • Myxoid retroperitoneal liposarcaoma.


  • Can’t think of clues to lead me elsewhere . . I think I am missing something


  • Needs to be removed.



24
  Ddx
  • Where is it coming from?
    • Look for organ& vessel  displacement
    • Feeding artery


  • Any defining tissue features?
    • Fat
    • Low SI
      • Fibrous, Muscle, Ca++
    • Fluid?
      • Lymphangiooma, abscess


  • Definition?


  • Necrosis?

29
  Dx:  Retroperitoneal Liposarcoma
             well differentiated, with myxoid  stromal change
  • the most common 1° RP tumor
    • 5 subtypes: well differentiated lipomatous, myxoid, round cell, pleomorphic, mixed.
    • Most pts >50 years old
  • > soft tissue suggest de-differentiation
  • Myxoid LPS have high % H20
    • High on T2WI,  Low on T1WI
  • Renal defect Ž AML

  Peripheral Cholangiocarcinoma
  • Tumor arising from the bile duct epithelium
    • Most are adenocarcinoma (90%)
    • Intra-hepatic 10%
    • Hilar         25%
    • Extra-hepatic  65%
  • Imaging Appearance
    • Well-defined, single, predominantly homogeneous mass with irregular borders
    • Capsular retraction
    • Often have peripheral thick rim enhancement
    • Dilated bile ducts peripheral to tumor
38

  DDx
  • HCC
  • Mixed Tumor  (HCC & Cholangio)
  • Sclerosing HCC
  • Immature abscess
  • Metastases  (think of desmoplastic types)
    • Central necrosis more common in mets
  • Hepatic TB
    • Look for layers
41
Maryellen Sun, Case 1
  • 72 year male with history of:
    • Hypertension
    • Thalassemia
    • Renal insufficiency
    • 20 lb. weight loss over recent 6 months

History as it occurred
  • Presented with weight loss, fatigue and decreased appetite.
  • Renal insufficiency discovered
    • MRA done to assess for RAS
    • Bilateral adrenal masses discovered @MRA
  • Labs: Dexamethosone suppression; VMAs
    • C/w adrenal insufficiency
  • CT Core bx:
    • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, large B cell type
50
 Primary Adrenal Lymphoma - Imaging
  • Complex masses
    • variable density (necrosis and/or hemorrhage)
  • Most bilateral
  • FDG avid


51
Adrenal Lymphoma
  • Usually due to contiguous spread from RP
    • 4% of patients with widespread non-Hodgkin's on CT
    • 24% with widespread non-Hodgkin's have adrenal involvement at autopsy
      • 46% bilateral
  • Adrenal insufficiency seen 50% of pts with bilateral involvement
  • Primary lymphoma is rare!
    • Approximately 80 cases in English literature
    • Most common type is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
  • May respond to CHOP regimen
  • Prognosis is poor
    • Older pts with co-morbidities;  adrenal insufficiency



52
Case 2: John Crowe
  • 77 y.o. male with smoking history
  • CT of chest extends to liver demonstrating a ‘lesion’

 Intracellular lipid liver lesions
62
Hepatic Angiomyolipoma
  • Rare, benign mesenchymal neoplasm
    • Varying amts of 1) smooth muscle cells, 2) thick-walled blood vessels, and 3)mature adipose tissue.
  • Sporadically or with tuberous sclerosis
    • TS in only 6% if cases
  • Often Asymptomatic and incidental
  • Diverse imaging features
    • various proportions of its 3 components
    • 50% of hepatic AMLs lack considerable fat content
  • It should not be treated surgically because of its benign nature.
63
Case 2 Dan Cornfeld
  • 19 year old female with intermittent abdominal pain
  • WBC, C-reactive protein, EST all WNL
  • Elevated lipase (250IU/L [nl 0-60]) and amylase (158 IU/L [nl 0-100])

  • Signs & Sxs
    • abdominal mass, pain, swelling, weight loss or lower extremity edema
  • Poor Prognosis
    • 5 yr survival ~35%

91
Tubulovillous adenoma of the CHD
  • Intraductal tumors w/ innumerable minute, frondlike papillary projections
  • Friable, and can break off & obstruct
  • Imaging
    • Partial obstructed by intraluminal masses
    • Look for inconsistency and changeability
    • Look for enhancement
      • Vs. Mucin and Stones
  • Other dxs
    • Biliary IPMN
    • Cholangiocarcinoma
92
Tubulovillous adenoma of the CHD
  • Rare in biliary tract; much more common in enteric system
  • Signs & Sxs
    • jaundice, right upper quadrant abdominal pain, dyspepsia, nausea and vomiting
  • Clinical and radiologic dx is often bile duct stone with cholangitis
  • Thought to follow the adenoma ® carcinoma progression;  therefore, resect!
