Patient ID: 89033663
History (HX):
Left renal-colic, hematuria
Findings:
1- Left sided mild hydroureteronephrosis due to distal third ureter stone clearly on axial and reconstructed coronal CT KUB images
2- High dense foci within left renal cortex suggestive of nephrocalcinosisDiagnose (DX):
Left ureter stone, left cortical nephrocalcinosis
Discussion:
A CT KUB is done to evaluate the kidneys, ureters and bladder. Although this type of CT scan can be use to evaluate such things as kidney cysts in the abdomen or tumors in the pelvis, the primary reason is to determine if the patient has kidney stones. Since kidney stones can be very painful the CT KUB can help determine the size and location of these stones and help with the treatment. There is no preparation for a CT KUB and the exam takes only a few minutes to complete (It is unlikely a stone of any size would be missed with ours scans)

Patient ID: 89026219 female 34yr
History (HX):

Diffuse bone marrow edema at right femoral head, neck and distal intertrochantric region with partial sparing of the greater trochanter
Diagnostic (DX):
Transient osteoprosis of the hip

Patient ID: 89033147
History (HX):
Left sided palpable mass
Findings:
Large cystic mass in left posterior triangle and lateral to carotid sheath.
Rim and internal septation enhancement
Diagnose (DX):
Second branchial cleft cyst
Discussion:
The second branchial cleft accounts for 95% of branchial anomalies frequently , second branchial cleft cysts are identified along the anterior border of the upper third of the Sternoclenoidomastoid muscle and adjacent to the muscle . However, these cysts may present any where along the course of a second brachial fistula, which proceeds from the skin of the lateral neck, between the internal and external carotid arteries, and into the palatine tonsil. Therefore, a second branchial cleft cyst is part of the differential diagnosis of a parapharyngeal mass.

Patient ID: 89035761 Male 48yr

Jun 19
Patient ID: 89033271
History (HX):
Known case of ovarian cancer
Findings:
Multiple liver masses, peritoneal masses, lymphadenopathies, thick ascites
Diagnose (DX):
Liver metastasis, peritoneal seeding and omental cake
Discussion:
Nearly all malignant ovarian tumors have combined solid and cystic components.histologically,85-90% are epithelial tumors and include serous, mucinous,endometroid , and clear cell adenocarcinomas.the remaining are malignant germ cell tumors (dysgerminoma, teratoma), sex cord stromal tumors (granulose cell tumor) , and sarcomas.a subset of borderline malignant tumors have a more favorable prognosis.metastatic spread occurs early as peritoneal implants,hematogenously via the ovarian vein to the liver, and lymphogenously to the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nods.
