Adenocarcinoma of the stomach represents upwards of 95% of all gastric malignancy. Calcifications in untreated gastric cancer are rare, but typically represent mucin-producing tumor. We report the radiology and pathology of a patient who presented with gastric wall calcifications on CT and a mucin-producing adenocarcinoma at pathologic examination of a gastric biopsy specimen.

The computed tomography (CT) findings of ovarian torsion in a 10-year-old girl are presented. The CT scan was the first cross-sectional imaging examination performed in this patient, who presented with suspected acute appendicitis. Analogous to the sonographic diagnosis of ovarian torsion, the imaging findings may be pathognomonic on CT and should be prospectively recognized for prompt diagnosis.

Oncocytoma is an uncommon benign, typically solitary renal tumor first reported in 1942. Renal oncocytomas are rarely multiple and/or bilateral. Accurate preoperative diagnosis and differentiation from renal carcinoma is difficult. We report the radiology and pathology of a patient with bilateral renal oncocytomas and review the literature of this rare presentation.
