Background: Endometriosis mainly affects female pelvic tissues and organs, and the presence of endometriosis in the kidney is extremely rare.Case Presentation: We report a case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with intermittent hematuria. She was found to have a cystic mass on renal ultrasonography, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed slight enhancement of the cystic wall and septa. These findings were indicative of cystic renal tumor. The patient subsequently underwent partial right nephrectomy. Histopathology revealed endometriosis of the right renal parenchyma. The patient recovered well and had no evidence of a recurrent renal mass at the 3 months' follow up.Conclusion: The possibility of renal endometriosis should be considered in a female patient with a cystic renal mass and clinical symptoms related to the menstrual cycle.

Abstract Primary angiosarcoma is extremely rare malignant tumor that has no typical symptoms and progress rapidly with poor prognosis. It is mesenchymal in origin and observed most frequently in the right atrium, cases in the pericardium is much more rare. Only few can detected in the early-stage allowing complete radical resection with a mean survival of 3 months to 1 year. There is few pericardial angiosarcoma reported among these years. The present study reports a case of a 44-year-old woman with primary pericardial angiosarcoma, who underwent a wide range of imaging methods, including transthoracic echocardiography, contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-magnetic resonance imaging (PET-MRI). The patient recovered well after operation in two years and died due to the recrudescence and pulmonary metastases in April, 2020. We report the case for its rarity and revealing the early detection of primary pericardial angiosarcoma with imaging examinations is critical for prognosis. Finally a literature review is done.

Introduction: Renal trauma is a relevant cause of morbidity in children older than 1 year. Most patients are currently managed conservatively, even in case of high-grade traumas; nevertheless, harmful complications may occur even in hemodynamically stable patients. We present a case of grade IV blunt renal trauma complicated by post-traumatic pseudoaneurysm. Case description: A 10-year-old girl was referred to our institution for grade IV trauma of the right kidney. During observation she had persistent hematuria that caused anemia. A second contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan revealed a posttraumatic pseudoaneurysm that was successfully treated by angiographic embolization. Conclusions: Although extremely rare after blunt renal trauma, post-traumatic renal pseudoaneurysm may cause severe blood loss and anemia, and angioembolization is therefore indicated. This condition should be suspected and move physicians to investigate further.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of clip-assisted endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection for gastric varices with a gastrorenal shunt. Methods Records were reviewed of patients with gastric varices and concomitant gastrorenal shunts who underwent clip-assisted endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection at three tertiary centers between April 2016 and October 2018. The assessed outcomes were technical success rate, eradication of gastric varices, cyanoacrylate embolization, and all-cause rebleeding. Results A total of 61 patients were analyzed. The procedure was successful in all patients (100 %). Gastric varices were eradicated in 30 of 33 patients (90.9 %) according to contrast-enhanced computed tomography re-examination within 1 month after the procedure. No symptoms or signs of cyanoacrylate embolization related to the procedure were observed. Four patients (6.6 %) were lost to follow-up. All-cause rebleeding occurred in 13/57 patients (22.8 %) during a median follow-up period of 225 days (interquartile range 114 – 507 days). Conclusions Clip-assisted endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection appeared to be a safe procedure that was convenient and efficacious in the treatment of gastric varices with concomitant gastrorenal shunt.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare tumor with malignant potential, and it has been described in many major organs. However, bladder location is very uncommon. We report the case of a 23-year-old women presented with painless gross hematuria last for 2 weeks. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a bladder tumor. The patient underwent a open partial cystectomy and the final pathologic diagnosis was inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor of bladder. Typical IMTs can be locally aggressive, thus close follow-up is necessary.

Purpose: To report the successful endovascular occlusion of a persistent endoleak owing to collateral perfusion in a 1-year-old bifurcated aortic endograft. Methods and Results: An 81-year-old man underwent endovascular repair of a 5.5-cm abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with a bifurcated stent-graft in 1995; collateral perfusion of the excluded aneurysm by retrograde filling of the patent inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) was noted postoperatively. At his 1-year follow-up, the mid-sac endoleak persisted on contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Using the superior mesenteric artery for access, the stump of the IMA was successfully embolized with glue. Conclusions: This case, which highlights the importance of documenting a patent IMA prior to AAA endografting, illustrates one option for the management of persistent collateral perfusion of endovascularly excluded aneurysms.

Introduction The article describes the first experience of performing percutaneous ultrasound (US)-guided cryoablation of renal tumor and assesses the safety and short-term results of treatment. Materials and Methods Twelve patients were subjected to US-guided cryoablation of renal tumor in 2015. The tumor size in 11 patients was up to 3.0 cm (T1а); in one female patient, 4.5 cm (T1b). Tumors were assessed according to the PADUA score. In eight patients, it was 6-7 (low); in three patients, 8-9 (average); in one, 10 (high). All the patients underwent US examination using a FlexFocus 800 apparatus with convex abdominal transducers. Before surgery and 6 months later, all the patients underwent renal Doppler US and contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Results The average cryoablation time was 60 min. Seven operations were performed under spinal anesthesia and five operations under local anesthesia. The follow-up period lasted 8 months on average. According to the ultrasonography and Doppler findings, after 6 months, the tumor (T1a) in 11 patients reduced in size by an average of 7-8 mm and had no blood supply. T1b patient's mass size reduces from 4.5 to 3.7 cm; however, a 1.5 cm area with a high attenuation gradient of the contrast medium was visualized. Later, the patient was subjected to laparoscopic renal resection. Histological finding revealed clear-cell carcinoma. Conclusions We consider percutaneous US-guided cryoablation as a method of choice for patients with stage T1a renal tumor localized on the posterior or lateral surface in the inferior or middle segment without sinus involvement and PADUA <9.
