Focal steatosis or focal fatty infiltration liver

Young male of 16 years shows:

= echogenic lesion anterior to the portal vein in the liver 

= few vessels seen passing through the lesion 

= no mass effect on adjacent structures seen

All these point to focal fatty infiltration liver or focal steatosis 

An important d/d is: hemangioma

= a small hypoechoic colloid nodule present in left lobe

Mirena-Eloira-IUD-malpositioned

The Mirena/ Eloira is an IUCD or IUD (intra-uterine device) useful to control excessive menstrual bleeding during peri- menopausal periods. 

Frequently it may be mal-positioned and descend into the cervix. 

Shown here are 2 images: 

1st in the normal position in body and fundus 

2nd is mal-positioned in the cervix:

This position of the IUD/ Eloira can result in poor effectiveness in control of bleeding.

Polycystic-ovaries-in-young-woman

 Interesting case: this young lady was initially diagnosed with possible hemorrhagic cyst or endometrioma of the ovaries.

Transabdominal usg scan did not given a clear diagnosis.

TVS scan revealed a totally different picture: both ovaries showed a full blown PCOD (polycystic ovaries disease) pattern. 

Moral: always try to do a TVS scan whenever possible.
