    Abstract Purpose: To assess the incidence of axillary lymphadenopathy over established time ranges after COVID-19 vaccination and lymph node pathologic features (i.e. size increase and qualitative characteristics) in subjects undergoing axillary evaluation during a breast imaging examination.
    Methods and materials: The institutional review board approved this prospective study.
    Inclusion criteria: women undergoing mammography and breast ultrasound between July and October 2021; information about the COVID-19 vaccine and infection, if any.
    Exclusion criteria: known metastatic lymphadenopathy. Participants were divided into 5 subgroups according to time between vaccine and imaging: < 6 weeks; 7-8 weeks; 9-10 weeks; 11-12 weeks; > 12 weeks. Evaluation of axillary lymph nodes was performed with ultrasound. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. p < 0.05 was considered significant.
    Results: A total of 285 women were included. Most of the patients underwent Moderna vaccine (n = 175, 61.4%). 63/285 patients had a previous history of breast cancer (22.1%). 13/17 (76.5%) patients with previous COVID-19 infection had no previous history of cancer, whereas 4/17 had a previous history of cancer (p < .001). 41/285 (14.4%) women showed lymphadenopathy, and they were significantly younger (46.9 ± 11.6 years) than women with borderline (54.0 ± 11.9 years) or no lymphadenopathy (57.3 ± 11.9 years) (p < .001). Lymphadenopathy and borderline lymphadenopathy were more frequently observed in the Moderna-vaccinated women and in the subgroup of patients evaluated < 6 weeks after vaccination (p < 0.001). The most common pathologic feature was cortical thickening, followed by complete or partial effacement of fatty hilum.
    Conclusion: A lymphadenopathy within 12 weeks after vaccination is a common finding particularly in younger women and after Moderna vaccine and no further assessment should be required.

    Abstract Thyroid ectopia can occur when the process of thyroid embryogenesis fails. Here, we present the case of a 30-year-old woman with thyroid ectopia that was discovered during magnetic resonance imaging of cervical spine for referred neck pain. Imaging revealed the presence of an encapsulated mass at the base of her tongue. The patient was not symptomatic for any compression of the airways. Diagnosis of ectopic lingual thyroid was confirmed by (99m)TC scintigraphy. Incidental diagnosis of thyroid ectopia in asymptomatic adult patients is rare, and it should be considered on diagnostic imaging in case of an anterior midline cervical mass.

    Abstract Mammary Paget's disease is a rare presentation of breast cancer. At clinical examination, it is characterized by skin lesions of the nipple-areola complex, almost always a sign of malignancy. In fact, it is often associated with an underlying mammary ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive carcinoma. An underlying carcinoma is also common in women with negative mammography and ultrasound (US); in these cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic tool useful in the detection of occult cancer. We described an unusual case of mammary Paget's disease with underlying DCIS, in a patient without nipple-areola complex alterations and/or palpable lump. On suspicion of Paget's disease, the patient underwent MRI examination that proved useful for an accurate diagnosis. Biopsy confirmed dynamic MRI findings.

    Abstract Corpus luteum cyst rupture with consequent hemoperitoneum is a common disorder in women in their reproductive age. This condition should be promptly recognized and treated because a delayed diagnosis may significantly reduce women's fertility and intra-abdominal bleeding may be life-threatening. Many imaging modalities play a key role in the diagnosis of acute pelvic pain from gynecological causes. Ultrasound study (USS) is usually the first imaging technique for initial evaluation. USS is used to confirm or to exclude the presence of intraperitoneal fluid but it has some limitations in the identification of the bleeding source. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is the imaging modality which could be used in the acute setting in order to recognize gynecological emergencies and to establish a correct management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) nowadays is the most useful technique for studying the pelvis but its low availability and the long acquisition time of the images limit its usefulness in characterization of acute gynecological complications. We report a case of a young patient with hemoperitoneum from hemorrhagic corpus luteum correctly identified by transabdominal USS and contrast-enhanced CT.

    Abstract We report imaging techniques in the definition of the therapeutic planning of a 65-year-old man with a diagnosis of Pancoast tumor. Computed Tomography has a pivotal role in the assessment of nodes involvement and distant metastasis. Magnetic Resonance allows a detailed study of locoregional extension for its high soft tissue resolution. We particularly highlight the actual importance of Magnetic Resonance Neurography, Diffusion-Weighted Imaging, and Magnetic Resonance Angiography techniques in the assessment of the superior sulcus vascular and nervous structures involvement. Their integrity has been showed in our patient with a complete surgical excision of the lesion.

    Abstract Purpose. To evaluate the correlation between MRI and histopathological findings in patients with mammographically detected 3-5 BI-RAD (Breast Imaging Reporting And Data Systems) microcalcifications and to allow a better surgical planning. Materials and Method. 62 female Patients (age 50 ± 12) with screening detected 3-5 BI-RAD microcalcifications underwent dynamic 3 T contrast-enhanced breast MRI. After 30-day (range 24-36 days) period, 55 Patients underwent biopsy using stereotactic vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB), 5 Patients underwent stereotactic mammographically guided biopsy, and 2 Patients underwent MRI-guided VAB. Results. Microhistology examination demonstrated 36 malignant lesions and 26 benign lesions. The analysis of MRI findings identified 8 cases of MRI BI-RADS 5, 23 cases of MRI BI-RADS 4, 11 cases of MRI BI-RADS 3, 4 cases type A and 7 cases type B, and 20 cases of MRI BI-RADS 1-2. MRI sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were 88.8%, 76.9%, 84.2%, and 83.3%, respectively.
