Blood tests  =   PTH  very high and elevated  calcium.



Do you  make first choice of diagnosis of  PTA?

A 38-year-old man has fallen motorcycle one month ago. About two weeks he had dysuria and bloody urination.

Abdominal ultrasound scans detect structure echo free with thickening border due to inflamed fat close to urinary bladder. After to rule out appendicitis, abscess and fluid collection of acute pancreatitis, color Doppler with grade-compressible technique was used and to reveal color flow of jet or stream from fluid-filled structure into urinary bladder. Therefore diagnosis of extra-peritoneal urinary bladder rupture was established.

Late phase contrast enhanced-MSCT showing urine sac close to urinary bladder.
There is urine accumulation adjacent urinary bladder at cystography. 
Patient has been operated promptly.

Key diagnosis of fluid sac due to extraperitoneal urinary bladder rupture:color Doppler flow of urine jet through gap from fluid sac into urinary bladder.

case-314-lipoma-calcification-of-calcaneus-tendon-and-soleus-muscle-

A 30 year-old woman with history of mass within the right heel region 2 year ago, no pain  and normal walking.
ULTRASOUND
Ultrasound found anechogenic mass in the calcaneustendon and soleus muscle, hypovascular.
The surface of the mass was close to the Achilles tendon, well-defined with the capsule. Deep surface was very difficult to survey. Intra the mass there was an hyperechoic structure with strong shadowing, like bone. Ultrasound did not determine that there was continuity between the mass with calcaneus tendon or not.
Sonologist suggested a diagnosis of chondro-osteoma and organized synovial cysts of the ankle. Dx: Lipoma calcification.

CT SCAN
MSCT detected a lesion in the soleus muscle, density of fatty tissue, 10x4cm in size, around of achilles tendon, clear capsule, rounded border, with a very high-density nodule inside, looked like the bone. The lesion was not associated  with the calcaneus bone and the leg bone. Radiologist suggested a diagnosis of calcified lipoma.


OPERATION
Surgery was conducted in next day. Macroscopic image looks like the lipoma with calcified nodule inside.


Waiting for  microscopic results.

Checking  the liver by blood tests, liver function is still good,  but ultrasound of  liver  detected  porta-hepatic vein shunting  very high flow ( see US image 1 dilatation cystic  intrahepatic, US 2, color Doppler: Shunting porta-hepatic and US video).





MSCT angio of  liver with  3 phases: arterial phase shows that not abnormal venous  phase : dilated  the  porta-hepatic  anastomosis like snake. In 3D CT reconstruction  confirmed a  high flow porta-hepatic shunting).





Bood test reports  this time  no ceton , high NH3 = 88.89 micromol/mL (normal  18-72).

ULTRASOUND  OF  PELVIS WAS NORMAL.

PAIN CONTINUING  AND  RISING  AND SHE  WAS IN ADMISSION  OF ONE  EMERGENCY HOSPITAL,   IN CLINICAL SUSPECTED  RENAL COLICKY PAIN.
ULTRASOUND  AGAIN   DETECTED  ONE SUPRAPUBIS MASS,  SIZE OF10CM,  CYSTIC WITH  CLOUDY  FLUID INSIDE (US 1).


CDI  REPORT  WAS SMALL UTERUS, CANNOT  DETECT VASCULAR  AT  RIGHT UTERUS CORNER (US 2).






THIS CYSTIC MASS  WITH  MASS INTRA CYST  LIKED  SEBUM THAT  SUSGESTED  RIGHT OVARY TERATOMA  IN TORSION.
NO STONE  INTRA URINARY SYSTEM.

MSCT  NON CE   PRESENTED  OVARY MASS  LOOK LIKED TORSION OF TERATOMA.



EMERGENT OPERATION BY LAPAROTOMY DETECTED THIS MASS BEING AN OVARIAN CYST   BLACK IN  COLOR DUE TO TORSION ( SEE FOTO)





OPEN  SURGERY  REMOVED  RIGHT  OVARY MASS  ISCHEMIA AND BLEEDING INSIDE OF A  TERATOMA TUMOR.


Discussion : Why the first ultrasound examination was  normal?  Looking  the first picture ultrasound of the uterus that was  clear view and  the fluid  over  look liked urinary bladder.
But  you can see the small urinary bladder  in the lower corner of the first ultrasound picture.
The mistake  was due to ultrasound  scanning  with  the urinary bladder  not full filling , the ovary cyst  was not  septation because scanning view in small window.

The ultrasound examination is better  view  with  lateral decubitus position, but in some cases cannot see well in decubitus position.
