Journal of Clinical Ultrasound

Our medical research library holds 6 studies published in Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (1979–2019). Each entry links to the study's record on PubMed and, where there is one, to the publisher's page and a free full text. 3 have an abstract, the authors' own summary as PubMed records it: open "Abstract" to read it. For 2 studies PubMed has no abstract for, we give the abstract printed in the article or, where there is none, a summary we wrote from it, each labeled as such.

• A giant, well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the left atrioventricular groove: Case report and brief review of the literature. X. Wang, W. Ren, Y. Xiao, et al. 2019;47(9):564-567. Case report · Review PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Of the primary cardiac tumors, well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma (WDPM) is very rare, with only one case report documenting WDPM of the pericardium. We report herein a 17-year-old boy who had an abnormal chest X-ray on a routine college-entrance examination. A giant cardiac tumor was detected by echocardiography. The neoplasm was partially resected, and histopathological examination revealed a WDPM. The patient recovered without any complication.

• Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of tunica vaginalis testis of unknown malignant potential: Sonographic appearance. K.W.S. Ko, K.S. Tse, K.W. Shek, et al. 2018;46(5):364-367. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Paratesticular mesothelioma is a rare differential diagnosis in the presence of scrotal hydrocele. A 17-year-old boy presented with a 3-year history of progressive hydrocele. Sonography revealed a large left paratesticular mass within the hydrocele. Serum tumor markers were negative. Left hydrocelectomy was performed and pathological analysis of the epididymal mass revealed a well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma. We discuss the sonographic and pathological findings of this rare neoplasm.

• Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis: unusual sonographic appearance. M.T. Wang, C.W. Mak, W.S. Tzeng, et al. 2005;33(8):418-20. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is a rare and aggressive neoplasm. It is similar to malignant mesothelioma of the peritoneum, usually associated with asbestos exposure. We present an unusual case in which the tumor was a mix of a hypoechoic solid nodule and a cystic component with low-level internal echoes.

• Benign cystic peritoneal mesothelioma. J.A. Schneider, E.J. Zelnick. 1985;13(3):190-2. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Abstract

  Benign cystic mesothelial tumors of the peritoneum are rare entities. The majority of peritoneal mesotheliomas are clinically and pathologically malignant tumors, many of which are associated with prior exposure to asbestos. The diagnosis of a cystic peritoneal lesion was made by sonography and computed tomography in a middle-aged woman. The diagnosis of benign cystic mesothelioma was made histologically. This is the first demonstration of this entity by ultrasound and computed tomography prior to surgery.

• Gray scale sonographic presentation of a mesothelioma of the greater omentum. J.M. Shah, D.L. King. 1979;7(2):147-8. Case report PubMed · Publisher

  Summary

  The authors, from the Division of Ultrasound at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, New York, reported a case showing sonographic visualization of a mesothelioma of the greater omentum in an adult. A 32-year-old man presented with 6 weeks of increasing abdominal girth, decreased appetite, a 10-pound weight loss and diffuse abdominal pain. Abdominal x-ray showed ascites. Paracentesis yielded a bloody exudate, and cytology was negative for malignant cells. Ultrasonography showed ascites and an irregular lobulated solid mass (5 x 10 x 14 cm) adherent to the lower anterior abdominal wall. Arteriography showed neovascularity and tumor blush in omental branches. At exploratory laparotomy, 2 liters of peritoneal fluid were aspirated. Tumor masses studded the greater omentum and adjacent anterior parietal peritoneum but did not involve the visceral peritoneum. The pathologic diagnosis was papillary and tubular-type mesothelioma, and chemotherapy was begun. On further questioning, the patient said he had worked in a warehouse for 6 weeks 10 years earlier. He thought, though he was not certain, that he might have handled asbestos products. The authors concluded that the tumor was a primary omental mesothelioma, because its main blood supply came through the greater omental vessels and most of the tumor lay within the omentum. They noted that its echogenic pattern distinguished it from normal bowel but was otherwise nonspecific. Its location suggested a peritoneal or omental origin.
