Background: We aimed to investigate whether there is a difference between intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (IHCC) and liver metastases of gastrointestinal system (GIS) adenocarcinoma in terms of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. Patients and methods: From January 2018 to January 2020, we retrospectively examined 64 consecutive patients with liver metastases due to gastrointestinal system adenocarcinomas and 13 consecutive IHCC in our hospital's medical records. After exclusions, fifty-three patients with 53 liver metastases and 10 IHCC were included in our study. We divided the patients into two groups as IHCC and liver metastases of GIS adenocarcinoma. For mean apparent diffusion coefficient (ADCmean) values, the region of interests (ROI) was placed in solid portions of the lesions. ADCmean values of groups were compared. Results: The mean age of IHCC group was 62.50 ± 13.49 and mean age of metastases group was 61.15 ± 9.18. ADCmean values were significantly higher in the IHCC group compared to the metastatic group (p < 0.001). ROC curves method showed high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.879) with cut-off value of < 1178 x 10-6 mm2/s for ADCmean (Sensitivity = 90.57, Specificity = 70.0, positive predictive value [PPV] = 94.1, negative predictive value [NPV] = 58.3) in differentiating adenocarcinoma metastases from IHCC. Conclusions: The present study results suggest that ADC values have a potential role for differentiation between IHCC and GIS adenocarcinoma liver metastases which may be valuable for patient management.

Tumoral and pseudotumoral lesions of the hand and wrist are commonly encountered in routine clinical practice. Although most of them arc benign, radiological differential diagnosis of these lesions is difficult, because of their nonspecific imaging findings, except ganglia, localized type of tenosynovial giant cell tumors and lipomas. Digital radiography, computed tomography, and ultrasound may be useful in identification of the lesions in the wrist and hand, but magnetic resonance imaging with superior contrast and spatial resolution is the most important imaging modality.

Primary penile lymphoma is extremely rare and there are less than 30 reported cases worldwide. Frequently penile lymphoma is seen as a secondary involvement of the penis by lymphoma, most likely by Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Here, we report a case with penile lymphoma caused by previously known NHL.

Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for a case of intrahepatic sarcomatoid cholangiocarcinoma is presented. A 48-year-old man with upper abdominal pain underwent contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. A 13 10 7 cm mass was seen in the left liver lobe, which had hypodense internal architecture on CT and mixed signal intensities on both T1- and T2-weighted images with an overwhelmingly hypointense signal on T1-weighted images and a hyperintense signal on T2-weighted images. The lesion had heterogeneous enhancement on both CT and MRI. A satellite nodule with the same imaging features was distinctive for the lesion.
