Generate impression based on findings. | Male, 21 years old, with right upper extremity plegia. Evaluate C1-C5 intramedullary lesion. An expansile, heterogeneously T2 hyperintense lesion is present within the spinal cord. This lesion expands the cord such that it fills the spinal canal. The lesion appears to extend from the C1-C5 level and measures at least 68 mm in craniocaudal length and 17 x 12 mm in maximal transaxial dimension. Less intense tapering T2 signal abnormality extending superiorly and inferiorly from the lesion may represent edema.The internal texture of the lesion suggests areas of heterogeneous tissue potentially with some foci of liquefaction or cyst formation. On postcontrast images, faint rim enhancement is seen along the lesion's superior aspect.

Generate impression based on findings. | As seen on CT from earlier the same date, there are diffuse osseous metastatic lesions throughout the spine with signal abnormalities most consistent with a sclerotic foci identified previously. In the cervical spine, there are multiple posterior disc osteophyte complexes and scattered metastatic lesions, which partially efface the spinal canal, but do not cause direct mass effect on the cord and there is no signal abnormality in the cervical spine. In the thoracic spine there are multilevel metastatic lesions, most notably at T3 and T8 where there is significant marrow infiltration and cortical expansion. There is collapse of the T3 vertebral body with extrusion of the T2-3 disc as well as cortical retropulsion, causing mass effect on the ventral cord and cord T2 hyperintensity at this level. There is involvement of the posterior elements at T3. CSF is effaced at this level resulting in central stenosis, however sagittal STIR technique demonstrates a tiny amount of residual CSF posteriorly.There is also direct extension of metastatic disease via cortical expansion into the posterior elements at the T8 level with direct extradural metastatic invasion into the ventral spinal canal resulting in mass effect on the cord and resultant cord T2 hyperintensity. Overall the cord is displaced posteriorly by this mass effect and is compressed against the posterior epidural fat, which is maintained, without compression against osseous elements. Additional metastatic lesions and resultant canal narrowing are also seen at L1-2 L3-4 and L4-5.

Generate impression based on findings. | Knee pain and swelling MENISCI: Again seen is abnormal intrasubstance signal intensity within the posterior horn and body of the medial meniscus that appears to contact the tibial articular surface, perhaps representing a chronic tear. This appears similar to the prior exam. There is attenuation/deformity and increased signal intensity involving much of the lateral meniscus which has progressed from the prior exam, and there now appears to be a large, radially oriented gap involving the body of the meniscus. These findings may reflect progression of tearing, interval partial meniscectomy changes, or combination of the two. ARTICULAR CARTILAGE AND BONE: There has been progression of cartilage loss in the lateral compartment with much of the weightbearing surface of both the lateral tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle now devoid of cartilage. Although the articular cartilage of the medial tibiofemoral compartment is relatively spared, there is at least one new small focal full-thickness defect along the medial femoral condyle. There are tricompartmental osteophytes with progression of osteophyte formation along the medial femoral trochlea and loss of the overlying articular cartilage. Subchondral cysts within the tibial plateau appear similar to the prior exam.LIGAMENTS: The ACL is thickened and poorly defined which is suspected to represent progression of mucoid degeneration with associated cyst formation in the intercondylar eminence of the tibia.

Generate impression based on findings. | Severe shoulder pain and weakness with fall. Please evaluate for acute rotator cuff tendinopathy. ROTATOR CUFF: There are complete tears of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons with retraction to the level of the glenohumeral joint. There is thickening and increased signal intensity of the retracted tendons, but I cannot determine with certainty if this is due to chronic tendinosis, acute rupture, or a combination of the above. There is mild to moderate fatty atrophy of the infraspinatus muscle. There is also increased signal intensity within the supraspinatus and infraspinatus muscles on the fluid sensitive sequences which is nonspecific and could reflect subacute denervation or edema from an acute injury. The teres minor tendon and muscle appear intact. Although superficial fibers of the subscapularis tendon can be followed to their insertion on the greater tuberosity, there is delamination of the undersurface fibers of the subscapularis tendon with retraction medial to the glenoid. There is moderate to severe fatty atrophy of the subscapularis muscle.SUPRASPINATUS OUTLET: Mild osteoarthritis affects the acromioclavicular joint. There is fluid within the subacromial/subdeltoid bursa. The coracoacromial ligament is intact. The coracohumeral ligament is not well visualized and I suspect is torn.GLENOHUMERAL JOINT AND GLENOID LABRUM: Fluid within the glenohumeral joint communicates with that in the subdeltoid bursa via the aforementioned complete rotator cuff tear. Intermediate signal intensity within the superior labrum likely reflects degeneration/degenerative tearing. There also appears to be mild fraying of the anterior labrum. The humeral head is high riding with narrowing of the acromiohumeral interval to 4 mm, but glenohumeral joint alignment is otherwise within normal limits.BICEPS TENDON: There is dislocation of the tendon of the long head of the biceps medially from the bicipital groove with thickening and increased signal intensity of the tendon as it courses along the anterior aspect of the humeral head indicating severe tendinosis.

Left ultrasound re-identified the target lesions for biopsy. The first lesion to be targeted is a hypoechoic mass measuring 16 x13 x 12 mm at the 10 o’clock position with increased vascularity, 2 cm from the nipple. The lesion was readily visible.The second lesion to be targeted is an oval hypoechoic mass measuring 6 x 4 x 5 mm at the 2:00 position without internal vascularity, 3 cm from the nipple. The lesion was identified on MRI 7/14/2015, and MR directed ultrasound detected a sonographic correlate. The lesion was somewhat subtle. The third lesion to be targeted is an abnormal lymph node measuring 2.1 x 1.7 cm in the left axilla, readily visible.PROCEDURE: The procedure and its risks, including bleeding, infection, and failure to diagnose, and expected benefits of ultrasound-guided core biopsy with percutaneous placement of a marking clip and post-procedure unilateral mammogram were discussed with the patient. Questions were answered. Consent was obtained both verbally and in writing. The time-out form was completed to confirm patient identity and side/type of procedure.The left breast was cleansed with chlorhexidine over the first target area (10 o'clock position). Transducer was sterilely sheathed. Local anesthesia was obtained using 2% lidocaine superficially, with 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine at depth. A 3 mm incision was made in the skin with a #11 scalpel blade. Using aseptic technique, continuous ultrasound guidance and a inferior to superior approach, three 12-gauge core needle (Celero) specimens were obtained of the lesion. Targeting was judged excellent. All specimens sank to the bottom of the prefilled container of 10% formalin. Specimen quality was judged excellent. Using continuous ultrasound-guidance a Hydromark clip was placed into the lesion in the usual manner. Subsequently, local anesthesia was obtained for the second lesion (2 o'clock position) using 2% lidocaine superficially and at depth. A 3 mm incision was made in the skin with a #11 scalpel blade. Using aseptic technique, continuous ultrasound guidance and a inferior to superior approach, two 14-gauge core needle (Achieve) specimens were obtained of the lesion. Targeting was judged very good. All specimens partially sank in the prefilled container of 10% formalin. Specimen quality was judged good. Using continuous ultrasound-guidance a Bard wing clip was placed into the lesion in the usual manner. Finally, local anesthesia was obtained for left axilla using 2% lidocaine superficially, with 1% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine at depth. A 3 mm incision was made in the skin with a #11 scalpel blade. Using aseptic technique, continuous ultrasound guidance and a inferior to superior approach, two 14-gauge core needle (Achieve) specimens were obtained of the lesion. Targeting was judged excellent. Both specimens sank to the bottom of the prefilled container of 10% formalin. Specimen quality was judged excellent. Using continuous ultrasound-guidance a Hydromark clip was placed into the lesion in the usual manner. Specimens were sent to Pathology with an accompanying history sheet. Pressure was held over the biopsy sites until all bleeding subsided. The skin incisions were closed with a Steri-Strip. Post-procedure digital left CC and ML views revealed the percutaneously placed Hydromark clip to be in the expected location in the central anterior aspect of the first lesion at 10:00, Bard wing clip to be in the expected location at 2:00 position and Hydromark clip to be in the left axillary lymph node. No evidence of hematoma or other complication.A pressure dressing was positioned over the biopsy site and an ice pack positioned over the pressure dressing.
