TL;DR: 4 cases of benign PI and pneumoperitoneum that were detected in different clinical situations are described, which were addressed with exploratory surgery or conservative treatment, with favorable outcomes.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided supporting the hypothesis of a causal relationship linking gadolinium deposition to a clinical manifestation of disease, namely fibromyalgia, and a role is unraveled in the still unknown etiology of fibromyromyalgia as a metal toxicity disorder.

TL;DR: Familiarity of potential imaging findings in conjunction with the clinical presentation may enable the interpreting radiologist to consider this entity in the differential prospectively.

TL;DR: It is suggested that retrograde transvenous lymphatic embolization appears to be feasible and efficient for postoperative chylous ascites.

TL;DR: A case of a 4-year and 10-month-old boy with incomplete Currarino syndrome, who was born with anus atresia, rectovesical fistula, and permanent perimembranous VSD, and genetic analysis confirmed a male karyotype 46, XY with high heterochromatin in chromosome 9 without mutation of the MNX 1 gene (chromosome 7q36).

TL;DR: This work demonstrates characteristic magnetic resonance imaging features of pigmented villonodular synovitis in the hip joint using three biopsy-proven cases, with the aims of increasing awareness and aiding diagnosis of this rare but potentially debilitating and progressive condition.

TL;DR: A case of a thoracic intraosseous hibernoma suspicious for an isolated ovarian cancer metastasis, successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation and kyphoplasty is presented.

TL;DR: ACC should be considered in the differential as a source of abdominal, epigastric, or back pain with imaging that is suggestive of the diagnosis as prompt recognition and initiation of treatment is paramount in the overall prognosis.

TL;DR: A case of lung cancer with preoperatively predicted invasion to the parietal pleura on dynamic chest radiography (DCR), which is less invasive compared to 3-dimensional chest computed tomography or cine magnetic resonance imaging is reported.
