A 30-year-old woman was hospitalized in our institute with fever up and abdominal pain. Computerized tomography showed a retroperitoneal mass (8 cm in diameter) with arborizing calcification, which was enhanced homogeneously in the arterial phase. The operation was performed and parthological diagnosis revealed hyaline vascular type Castleman's disease. This characteristic calcification pattern is considered unique to Castleman's disease, and could be useful for future diagnosis.

Imaging Studies V: Intravenous Urography and Retrograde Pyelography

IntroductionIntravenous Urography (IVU) and Retrograde Pyelography (RP) are important diagnostic imaging techniques used to evaluate the urinary system. These methods help identify structural abnormalities, obstructions, and functional issues in the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. Both procedures use iodine-based contrast media to enhance the visibility of urinary tract structures on X-ray images, though they differ in their methods and indications.1.
