Acta Radiologica

Abstract

A variety of abdominal and pelvic tumors can present with rupture leading to hemoperitoneum/hemoretroperitoneum or peritonitis. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of hemorrhage or peritonitis as well as in the detection of ruptured tumors or organs. In this article, we illustrate the imaging findings of ruptured tumors arising in the abdominal and pelvic organs while excluding those of ruptured tumors arising in the stomach and intestines. It is important for the radiologists to understand the mechanisms involved in tumor rupture and recognize the imaging features of ruptured tumors according to the organs involved because this will permit the exact diagnosis of ruptured tumors, thereby facilitating prompt and effective treatment.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex, associated with a generally dismal prognosis owing to its aggressive behavior. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Adenoma, Islet Cell

Islet Cell Adenoma arises in the islet cells, which are insulin producing cells of the pancreas. These tumors can be either malignant or benign. Discover the latest research on Islet Cell Adenoma here.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Carcinoma, Islet Cell (Keystone)

Islet Cell Carcinoma or Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours arise in the hormone producing cells of the pancreas. These tumors can be either malignant or benign. Discover the latest research on islet cell carcinoma in this feed.

Adrenocortical Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer and frequently occurs in individuals with chronic liver diseases like cirrhosis. Here is the latest research.

Cancer Imaging

Imaging techniques, including CT and MR, have become essential to tumor detection, diagnosis, and monitoring. Here is the latest research on cancer imaging.

Carcinoma, Ductal

Ductal carcinoma is a malignant neoplasm involving the ductal systems of any of a number of organs, such as the mammary glands, pancreas, prostate or lacrimal gland. Discover the latest research on ductal carcinoma here.

AML: Role of LSD1 by CRISPR (Keystone)

Find the latest rersearrch on the ability of CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis to profile the interactions between lysine-specific histone demethylase 1 (LSD1) and chemical inhibitors in the context of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) here.

Carcinosarcoma

Carcinosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that contains elements of carcinoma and sarcoma so extensively intermixed as to indicate neoplasia of epithelial and mesenchymal tissue. Discover the latest research on carcinosarcoma here.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Adenoma, Liver Cell

Liver Cell Adenoma or hepatic adenoma is a rare benign tumor. It is associated with birth control use or pregnancy. Discover the latest research on Liver Cell Adenoma here.

Adenosarcoma

Adenosarcoma is a rare tumor found in women and is located in the uterus, but can also arise in the cervix and ovaries. Discover the latest research on Adenosarcoma here.
