Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical disease, and ultrasonography is its primary preliminary diagnostic screening strategy. With an increase in house-raised pets, the annual incidence of cat scratch lymphadenitis is rising. After infection, the characteristics of the disease include abnormal lymph node enlargement in the local drainage, accompanied by low heat sweats, similar to clinical symptoms of malignant disease. The two-dimensional ultrasound results lack specificity. However, garland-like variation can be observed in the enhanced images, which can be used for the differential diagnosis of cat scratch lymphadenitis. In this case, we obtained the ultrasound and computed tomography images of a patient with cat scratch lymphadenitis and compared and analyzed them with the pathological data.

A gastric GIST which causes gastroduodenal intussusception is rare. A Pubmed search only identified 21 published cases of gastroduodenal intussusception due to gastric GIST. Only 2 of them mentioned ultrasound without further analysis. Here, we report a case of gastroduodenal intussusception due to a gastric GIST with multiple imaging especially ultrasound. A 72-year-old Chinese woman was admitted to hospital because of epigastric pain, black stool lasting and occasional vomiting for 2 months. She underwent abdominal ultrasound, endoscopy, and contrast enhanced CT in turn. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic, medium-sized lesion beside pancreatic head. Endoscopy showed a submucosal lesion of gastric fundus overlapping into duodenum. The lesion manifested slight enhancement in the arterial phase on enhanced CT scans. The patient underwent laparoscopic exploration and partial gastrectomy. The histological examination revealed a low-risk gastric GIST of spindle-shaped cell type.

Pure embryonal carcinoma (EC) is a rare malignant tumor that primarily occurs in infants with a sex development disorder and adults aged in their thirties to forties. This tumor behaves more aggressively than other germ cell tumors in the testis, and most of them should undergo surgery or chemotherapy. However, only a few case reports have involved imaging, and most of them are limited. Here, we present a case of pure EC in the testis of a 27-year-old male with multimodal ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
