Radiological-pathological correlation in plasmablastic lymphoma in an immunocompromised patient

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a malignant, rare, and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with poor response to treatment that most commonly involves the oral mucosa of immunodeficient patients. The orbit might be primarily or secondarily involved; on the other hand other pathological conditions, i.e., fungal infections, may localize in the orbit in both immunocompromised patients and drug user, which might have similar radiological features.

Management of patients with Graves' disease and orbital involvement: role of spectral domain optical coherence tomography

PURPOSE:
To investigate the role of choroidal thickness evaluation with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) and enhanced depth imaging (EDI) technique in the management of patients with Graves' disease and orbitopathy (GO).
METHODS:

Extraocular muscle sampled volume in Graves' orbitopathy using 3-T fast spin-echo MRI with iterative decomposition of water and fat sequences

Abstract
Background: Current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for measuring extraocular muscle (EOM) volume
enlargement are not ideally suited for routine follow-up of Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) because the difficulty of
segmenting the muscles at the tendon insertion complicates and lengthens the study protocol.
Purpose: To measure the EOM sampled volume (SV) and assess its correlation with proptosis.
Material and Methods: A total of 37 patients with newly diagnosed GO underwent 3-T MRI scanning with iterative
