Leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein

Leiomyosarcoma of the renal vein
Abstract  A 43-year-old woman was referred to our clinic for evaluation of a left retroperitoneal mass. She presented to our internal medicine department complaining of back pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a left retroperitoneal mass 55 mm in size in the hilum of the left kidney. Enhanced CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) disclosed a poorly staining mass. Metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy demonstrated no accumulation in the mass; moreover, endocrinologic examination was normal. Laparoscopic resection of the left retroperitoneal tumor was attempted; however, strong adhesion between the tumor and the left renal vein was encountered. Thus, left nephrectomy after open conversion was performed. Histological findings indicated leiomyosarcoma origin…

Deconditioning in chronic low back pain: might there be a relationship between fitness and magnetic resonance imaging findings?

Deconditioning in chronic low back pain: might there be a relationship between fitness and magnetic resonance imaging findings?
Abstract  The presence of persistent low back pain leads to avoidance of daily activities, contributes to further exercise intolerance and subsequent further loss of functional capacity. We sought to search for the relationship between lumbar magnetic resonance imaging findings and deconditioning in a homogeneous subset of patients with low back pain. We studied 20 sedentary, nonsmoking patients with chronic low back pain using symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise testing using treadmill breath-by-breath analysis using modified Bruce protocol. Lumbar facet and disc degeneration involving L1-S1 levels were assessed using 1.5 Tesla MRI. The total number of levels involved was positively correlated with age (r = 0.478, P = 0.033). The Pfirrmann grading o…

Percutaneous Intradiscal Aspiration of a Lumbar Vacuum Disc Herniation: A Case Report

Percutaneous Intradiscal Aspiration of a Lumbar Vacuum Disc Herniation: A Case Report
We report a case of an 83-year-old gentleman presenting with acute low back pain and radicular left lower extremity pain after golfing. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbar spine revealed a low-signal-density lesion compressing the L5 nerve. A computed tomography scan was then ordered, confirming an extra-foraminal disc protrusion at the L5–S1 level, containing a focus of gas that was compressing the left L5 nerve root and communicating with the vacuum disc at L5–S1. After a failed left L5 transforaminal epidural steroid injection, the patient was brought back for a percutaneous intradiscal aspiration of the vacuum disc gas. This resulted in immediate relief for the patient. A follow-up MRI performed 2 months after the procedure found an approximate 25% reduction…
