Summary: Non-infectious granulomatous lung disease encompasses a variety of disorders characterized by pulmonary opacities and granulomatous inflammation. The challenge lies in the nonspecific imaging features, but a thorough assessment of patients' clinical history can aid in narrowing down the differential diagnosis.

Summary: Most pelvic tumors originate from the organs, but they can also arise from various pelvic compartments comprised of mesenchymal tissue. Since these tumors are uncommon and often have nonspecific clinical features, imaging (usually MRI) is an initial step in evaluation. Radiologists play a crucial role in narrowing the differential diagnosis and assessing malignancy likelihood. The MRI report should include imaging features indicative of tissue histology as well as the extent and pattern of growth.

Summary: Placental transmogrification of the lung is a rare lung disease, and CT findings include cystic lesions, nodules, interlobular septal thickening, and clustered interstitial nodules. These findings are consistent with the histopathologic specimens, which show proliferation of chorionic villi-like structures in the lung interstitium.

Summary: Mucin-containing lesions of the breast encompass a wide range of benign and malignant processes. Mucinous carcinoma is the malignant end of the spectrum, while mucocele-like lesions (MLLs) can be benign but sometimes associated with malignancy or atypia. Pure mucinous carcinomas have a favorable prognosis, while mixed mucinous carcinomas behave similarly to invasive breast carcinomas of no special type.

Summary: Hyperglycemia has significant effects on maternal and fetal health and long-term development of offspring during pregnancy. Placental macrophages, including HBCs and PAMMs, play a crucial role in regulating pregnancy and maintaining the internal environment. This review explores the impact of hyperglycemia on the phenotype and function of HBCs and PAMMs during pregnancy.

Summary: Fibroepithelial lesions (FELs), including fibroadenomas (FAs) and phyllodes tumors (PTs), are common breast masses. FAs are more common in young women and have oval circumscribed hypoechoic masses, while PTs, more common in older women, present as enlarging palpable masses with larger size and sometimes irregular shape compared to FAs. Accurate diagnosis requires understanding of imaging and histologic features, and radiologists play a crucial role in providing adequate tissue sampling.

Summary: In this study, we found a birth prevalence of 1 in 6,829 infants for perinatal stroke in term born infants at our high-volume delivery center. Both gross and histologic placental pathologies associated with perinatal stroke were common. Perinatal risk factors were present in the majority of patients, and seizures were a common presenting symptom. Pathologic placental examination revealed a high rate of acute histologic chorioamnionitis and isolated umbilical and/or chorionic plate vasculitis in the cohort compared to a control group. Chronic inflammation in the form of villitis of unknown etiology was also frequently observed in the acutely inflamed placentas.

Summary: Uveal melanoma is a malignant tumor originating from pigmented melanocytes, with prognosis related to histopathologic and genetic features, tumor size and location. MRI plays a key role in diagnosis and treatment planning, mainly depending on melanin content for tumor visualization. Radiologists and MRI are significant in the clinical management of uveal melanoma.

Summary: The study found that multiple MRI parameters can serve as imaging biomarkers for tumor microenvironment and predict disease recurrence in YABC. The morphological and vascular characteristics of breast cancer have a certain influence, while the tumor subtype and endothelial Notch1 can also affect the risk of recurrence.

Summary: This study aimed to elucidate the magnetic resonance (MR) semiotics of radiotherapy-induced changes to neoplastic tissues and ocular structures in patients with uveal melanoma undergoing secondary enucleation after proton beam radiotherapy. The results showed that T2-weighted sequences performed better in detecting radiation-induced necrosis, fibrosis, optic nerve degeneration, and periocular fibrotic adhesions, while T1-weighted sequences were preferable for identifying cataracts, vitreous hemorrhage, and inflammatory complications.
