Article Abstract
Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) such as Alloderm is sometimes used in tissue reconstruction in primary and reconstructive breast surgeries. As ADM is incorporated into the native tissues, the evolving imaging findings that would correlate with varying degrees of host migration and neoangiogenesis into the matrix can be challenging to recognize. In the setting of a palpable or clinical area of concern after breast reconstructive surgery following breast cancer, confident diagnosis of a mass representing ADM rather than recurring or developing disease can be challenging. Such diagnostic imaging uncertainties generally result in short-term imaging and clinical follow-up, but occasionally, biopsy is performed for histopathological confirmation of benignity. A case of biopsy-proven Alloderm is described. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first radiologic-pathologic correlation of ADM in the literature.

Solitary Extraarticular Synovial Chondromatosis; Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation.

Department of Radiology, University of Occupational and Environmental Health, Japan.
Synovial chondromatosis (SC) is a locally aggressive neoplasm consisting of multiple hyaline cartilaginous nodules. This neoplasm typically manifests as multiple intra-articular calcified or uncalcified nodules, whereas the extraarticular form is particularly rare. We herein present a case of solitary extraarticular SC arising in the hand and correlate the imaging findings with pathologic findings.

Introduction/aims: Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease due to the absence or loss of function of the gigaxonin gene. Pathologic findings in GAN are those of "dying-back" axonal degeneration, in which the distal axon degenerates but the more proximal axon and neuronal cell body remain intact. Aims of this study were to (1) document imaging abnormalities that may occur in the spinal cords of GAN patients; and (2) assess histologically the spinal cords of GAN rodent models.

We herein present a case involving a 62-year-old woman with a 1-month history of persistent dry cough. A thoracic computed tomography scan revealed multiple cystic lesions with well-defined thin septal thickening, tiny nodules, and areas of irregular consolidation characterized by irregular septal thickening in the right lower lobe. This thickening formed pentagonal and hexagonal patterns resembling a soccer ball.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare proliferative disorder of histiocytic dendritic cells that can mimic metastatic malignancies due to its potential for multiorgan involvement. Histopathologic confirmation is essential for accurate diagnosis. As such, biopsy is imperative, especially in patients who present with hepatic lesions.
