    Abstract Objective: To compare the effect of different quantification methods of ADC values in the evaluation of breast lesions and compare contralateral normal breast tissue ADC value by calculating ADC ratios.
    Study design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Sisli Etfal Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, between February 2019 and December 2020.
    Methodology: Two hundred and forty-six breast MRI scans with DWI of the patients with biopsy proven unilateral breast lesions were studied. ADC measurements were done by placing ROI. Two ADC values and two ADC ratios were obtained by different methods. The diagnostic accuracies of these four techniques were compared.
    Results: Mean ADC values and ratios of benign and malignant lesions were statistically significant in all of four methods to quantify ADC (p< 0.001). Highest positive value and negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy rates were achieved when the most restricted part ADC value was calculated. However; highest sensitivity rate and negative predictive value were achieved by calculating the ratio of darkest point ADC to contralateral breast tissue. Positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy rate of calculated ADC values and ratios were higher when lesions were larger than the mean size (3.15 mm2).
    Conclusion: Highest diagnostic accuracy rate was obtained with most restricted part ADC value. Obtained ratios by calculating contralateral breast tissue ADC value did not improve the diagnostic accuracy rate. Positive and negative predictive values and diagnostic accuracy rates of ADC values and ratios increased as the lesion size increased. Key Words: Breast mass, Diffusion weighted imaging, ADC value, ADC ratio, Normalised ADC.

    Abstract Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia (PASH) is a rare benign mesenchymal proliferation of the breast with unclear etiology. It is diagnosed in a wide spectrum from incidental microscopic findings to palpable breast mass. Diagnosis is generally made in the premenopausal age group. PASH cases seen in adolescents reported in the literature are very rare and none of them has mentioned the radiologic features in detail. In this case report, we present a 12-year-old patient with giant (150x100x127 mm in size) PASH in her right breast, giving emphasis to the findings of the ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, including contrast-enhanced dynamic and diffusion-weighted imaging sequences. To the best of our knowledge, the present case is the second biggest giant PASH seen in the adolescent age.

    Abstract Synovial chondromatosis is a rare condition with chondroid metaplasia of the synovial membrane and multinodular proliferation of the synovial membrane of the joints, tendons and bursae without any certain etiology. The disease generally presents in monoarticular form; and the most commonly involved joint is the knee. It commonly occurs in third and fifth decades of life. Synovial chondromatosis of the shoulder in children is extremely rare; and up to now, only two cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report synovial chondromatosis of the shoulder joint in a child with both intraarticular and extraarticular involvement. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first case in the literature with both intra- and extra-articular involvement of synovial chondromatosis of the shoulder joint in children. Key Words: Synovial chondromatosis, Metaplasia, Children.

    Abstract Aim:The prognostic value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement to detect axillary malignant lymph nodes in breast cancer is not clear. We aimed to investigate the prognostic importance of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) in the differentiation of metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes.Methods:Magnetic resonance imagings (MRIs) of 102 breast cancer patients were reviewed from the hospital PACS and automation systems between July 2018 and March 2021. Cortical thickness, short, long-axis diameters, long/short axis ratios and ADC measurements were done for ipsilateral and contralateral axillary lymph nodes. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed.Results:Pathology revealed that 64 patients had ipsilateral metastatic lymph nodes while 38 patients did not. When grouped into metastatic and non-metastatic groups, breast tumor size, mean diameter of the short axis, long axis and cortical thickness were significantly higher in the metastatic group. Ipsilateral metastatic lymph nodes’ mean ADC values were significantly lower than non-metastatic ones with a calculated value of 0.972x10-3. The ipsilateral ADC value of the lymph node and loss of fatty hilum were the two significant factors to predict metastatic lymph nodes in multivariate analysis.Conclusion:DWI is a valuable noninvasive tool in the diagnosis of metastatic axillary lymph nodes.

    Abstract Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a benign chronic inflammatory disorder of the breast tissue, with unknown etiology. IGM is extremely rare among male gender. In this case report, we present a male patient with superficial high grade bladder cancer, who was complaining of a palpable mass in his right breast for two weeks following intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment. There was an assymetrical, mass-like density without distinct contours in retroareolar area of the right breast. US guided core-needle biopsy was performed. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of IGM. To our knowledge, this is the first case of IGM following intravesical BCG administration.

    Abstract A 73-year-old man with biopsy-proven Gleason 3+3 prostate cancer presented with a new mass centered in the seminal vesicles with invasion of the base of the prostate on surveillance prostate MRI. Targeted biopsy showed atypical lymphoid proliferation, suspicious for lymphoma. The patient was referred to the nuclear medicine department for [18F]fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). Multisite 18F-FDG-avid lymphadenopathy observed, as well as FDG uptake in the new mass. Core biopsy from dominant mesenteric mass revealed follicular lymphoma.

    Abstract Background: Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is an overuse injury of the lateral aspect of the knee. This syndrome classically affects the active young population.
    Purpose: To determine the diameter of the ITB using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients clinically diagnosed with ITBFS, compare the results with asymptomatic patients, and assess the inter-observer agreement between a senior and a junior radiologist with different levels of experience in musculoskeletal imaging.
    Material and methods: From April 2014 to October 2019, 78 knee MRI scans of 78 patients were included in the study group who were referred from the orthopedic clinic with a clinical diagnosis of ITBFS. In the control group, there were 114 knee MRI scans of 114 patients who had knee MRI for various reasons and had no radiological abnormality on the performed knee MRI. The ITB diameters, cut-off values, and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated.
    Results: Mean thickness of the ITB was higher in the study group compared to the control group in measurements done by both the senior and junior radiologists and this was statistically significant (
    Conclusion: ITB thickness in the study group was significantly higher than in the control group. There was also excellent agreement among the two observers. Measurement of ITB thickness on axial plane knee MRI is one of the reliable criteria for ITBFS.
