Man 62 yo, one month after robotic prostatectomy by prostatic carcinoma (PC)  stage I, pain in mictation.
US scan at pubis detected 2 cystic masses  look like  double urinary bladder (US 1, transverse scan ).


US 2:  scan at  left  cystic mass ,  size of 4 cm, thickening of  border and septation.



US 3:  longitudinal  scan at  central cystic mass,  it is  urinary bladder.




US 4: left pelvis mass and  iliac artery.



Report of sonologist  is double urinary bladder.
MSCT with CE of  urinary system= CT 1, CT 2 non CE showed  HU units  at  2 masses are  different  15.8   and 10.2 UI.




CT 3 =  contrast filling of  the central  mass is urinary bladder and  left mass is not enhanced.



CT4 : 3D C T of urinary system.



Puncture of this cyst  for removing fluid which is yellowish. Results of analysis of  its contence : urea 
4.8mmol/L,
creatinine 0.0741mmol/L.
 So it is lymphatic fluid. Now  operation for drainage.

CASE 397: NERVE TUMOR, Dr PHAN THANH HẢI, Dr NGUYỄN NGHIỆP VĂN, MEDIC MEDICAL CENTER, HCMC, VIETNAM.



Boy 17yo with pain at anterior brachial region both 2 sides. Clinical palpation revealed many small subcutaneous nodules, size as a pepper nut, painful at palpation ; and swelling neck (see chest XRays).




Ultrasound scanning of the antebrachial areas detected many small ellypsoid nodules along the arterial way looked like the nerve ( US 1, US 2: longitudinal scan and cross-section).



US 3, US 4 scan at the carotid detected hypoechoic mass along the carotid sites  which belong to vagus nerves 2 sites.



US 5, US 6 scan at left carotid= big size vagus nerve, hypoechoic #1.5 cm in diameter at cross section.



MRI of the neck and thorax= MRI 1, MRI 2: hypertrophic nodular vagus nervi go to  mediastinum.



MRI 3: lateral view of the neck; MRI 4 = cross section of vagus nerve at the neck in relation with carotid artery.



MRI 5: hypertrophic intercostal nerve at thorax.

Biopsy of  the subcutaneous nodule at forearm  reported  neurofibroma in microscopic result.
