In this case, the iodine maps highlight enhancing malignant lesions in the right breast and adjacent lymph node, later confirmed by core needle biopsy.
Liposarcomas are rare tumours derived from the mesodermal tissue which are found most commonly in the lower extremities. Liposarcomas of the spermatic cord are a rare cause of groin mass and pain which can mimic the symptoms of more common conditions such as inguinal hernias.
This case was confirmed histologically and managed surgically.
Dual energy CT can obtain different material datasets, such as uric acid mapping, which is beneficial in identifying the urate crystal in the joints causing gout (shown as green lesions on the 3D mapping). Gout is the most common crystal arthropathy seen. This case was confirmed histologically and managed surgically.
