| Diagnosis | Intussusception secondary to metastatic renal cell Carcinoma to the small bowel. | |
| History | 62 y.o. man with intermittent abdominal pain and cramping. PMH of abdominal surgery. | |
| Findings | In addition to metastatic disease to the lungs and liver, the patient was found to have enlarged mesenteric nodes and probable metastases to the small bowel that were serving as lead points for multiple occurrences of intussusception. Classic target sign is noted in the axial view. | |
| Differential Dx | The target sign is classic for intussusception, but there are a multitude of causes, which are dependent on age group: • Gastrointestinal malignancy (most common in adults) • Meckel diverticulum • Infection (Peyer's Patches) • intestinal polyps and lipomas • Burkitt lymphoma • Ectopic pancreas | |

She denies any chest pain, hemoptysis, fever, chills, night sweats, weight loss. She endorses significant secondhand smoke exposure for the past six years. Chest x-ray performed one month ago did not reveal any abnormalities. She was diagnosed with a URI and treated with two courses of antibiotics at the time. | |
| Findings | •CXR: New bandlike area of opacification in the left upper lobe, not seen on previous exam. •CT chest w/ contrast: Large aggregation of mediastinal adenopathy involving left and right paratracheal, subcarinal, prevascular, aortic window, and left hilar nodes. There is partial obstruction of the left main stem bronchus and at the carina, likely representing peribronchial invasion. There is a significant mass effect on the left pulmonary artery and left subclavian vein, with possible invasion. In the left upper lobe there is a 2 cm spiculated focus of consolidation. In the right hepatic lobe of the liver, near the dome, there is a 1.2 x 0.8 cm area of low attenuation. Within segment 2 of the liver a 2.2 x 3.5 cm hypoattenuating lesion demonstrates peripheral enhancement. A similar lesion is seen in segment 8 of the right lobe, measuring 1.2 x 2.4 cm. There is a low-attenuating pericardial effusion. | |

| Diagnosis | Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma | |
| History | 38 y/o man has swelling in right side of his neck which developed several weeks previously. He states it's nontender, nonpulsatile, and doesn't really bother him. He denies hoarsness, dysphagia, or dyspnea. Denies any recent trauma to the neck or recent illness. No fevers, chills, night sweats, weight loss. | |
| Findings | MRI neck mass: Just deep to the right sternomastoid muscle is a T1 dark T2 bright fluid collection measuring 4.5 cm in craniocaudal dimension by 3.3 cm AP by 2.6 cm transverse. The wall is thin and demonstrating mild enhancement, but no internal enhancement is noted. No additional adenopathy in the neck is noted. CT neck s/p excisional biopsy of neck mass: Nasopharyngeal mass measures 1.6 x 1.8 cm anterior to posterior x 1.5 cm superior to inferior. Enlarged lymph node at C2 vertebral level in left parapharyngeal space measuring 1.8cm on long axis. There are surgical changes in the right neck, consistent with the resected metastatically enlarged right level 5 lymph node. There is air/gas and fluid in the resection site. NM-PET s/p excisional biopsy of neck mass: 1) Extending from the fossa of Rosenmueller in the right nasopharyngeal space is an irregular mass which measures approximately 2.6 x 1.7 cm and demonstrates avid FDG uptake with an SUV of 12.3. There is an enlarged level II lymph node on the left just adjacent to the oropharynx which demonstrates FDG uptake with an SUV of 8.0. Additionally, several small level V lymph nodes also seen on the left which demonstrate mild FDG uptake with SUV of 2.5. 2) Surgical changes are seen on the right in the region of the angle of the mandible adjacent to the right sternocleidomastoid muscle to include soft tissue emphysema, inflammatory fat stranding, and mild FDG uptake in this region. Focal region of FDG uptake with an SUV of 5.0 likely represents lymph node which may represent metastatic focus or may be reactive in nature. No other enlarged or FDG avid lymph nodes are seen. | |
