So another challenging case here.
0:02
On T2 weighted images, as we scroll through,
0:04
we can see a lesion in the pancreatic tail,
0:07
which is expanding the entire parenchyma.
0:11
It is showing some kind of heterogeneous
0:13
T2 weighted intermediate to
0:16
hyperintensity scattered here and there.
0:18
It is well-defined, well-circumscribed, uh, within
0:22
the parenchymal outline of the pancreas, but it
0:26
is. And as we scroll further, we can see another
0:30
deposits in the left paracolic gutter, which has
0:33
some tortuous vessels along with the periphery.
0:35
And if we follow these vessels, some of
0:37
these vessels are actually traversing
0:40
towards the same area in the pancreatic
0:41
tail, uh, which we have seen earlier.
0:44
And then, um, in the right adrenal
0:47
gland, we can see a cystic lesion, uh,
0:53
surrounded by a rim of soft tissue.
0:55
In addition to that, we can see some
0:57
of the lesions in the right kidney,
0:59
for example, this one in the right upper pole.
1:01
And there are some scattered areas of
1:03
heterogeneous intensity on T2 weighted
1:05
images, those look very concerning.
1:08
So once we have this kind of broad picture
1:11
in our mind, we can quickly move to the
1:13
coronal images and see how they look here.
1:16
On T2 weighted coronal images,
1:18
we can see the lesions once again,
1:21
they are looking suspicious, right?
1:23
Lower pole, lower pole.
1:24
Right upper pole looks more complex.
1:26
Cystic lesion in the right adrenal gland,
1:28
a lesion in the pancreatic tail, which is closely
1:32
abutting the surface of the stomach, and the left
1:34
upper quadrant lesion, uh, in the paracolic
1:37
gutter with tortuous vessels, those are draining
1:39
towards the lesion in the pancreatic tail.
1:42
And we can quickly confirm these
1:44
findings on post-contrast images.
1:46
And we can see this lesion is hyper-enhancing.
1:48
There are a few deposits along with
1:50
the periphery of the pancreas.
1:52
Outside the anticipated outline,
1:54
those tortuous vessels can be
1:56
easily seen on post-contrast images.
1:57
They are connecting these two lesions together.
2:00
So that is very obvious that that
2:02
deposit actually came from this place.
2:04
And then we can see this hyper-enhancing region
2:07
in the right lower pole, uh, which extends
2:10
up to the mid-pole, uh, or interpolar region.
2:14
And as soon as we reach the upper pole, we can
2:16
see that enhancing lesion looks very suspicious.
2:19
But in addition to that, we can find some of
2:21
the other areas, those who are not seen on
2:23
T2-weighted images, are those that happen enhancing
2:25
and they look separate from the parenchyma.
2:28
It looks like this right kidney
2:29
is developing multifocal RCCs.
2:31
And the left kidney is missing,
2:32
likely due to prior surgery because of the RCC.
2:35
Now, a patient presenting with multiple
2:37
deposits in the pancreatic tail, left
2:39
paracolic gutter, and the right adrenal gland.
2:42
In addition to that, there are
2:43
multiple RCCs in the right kidney.
