Metal artifact reduction sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MARS MRI) was used for diagnosis of the pseudotumors, and serum metal ion levels and inflammatory marker levels were measured for all patients who underwent a revision due to pseudotumor.

A total of 148 patients with dual taper modular THA were investigated: (1) 90 patients with pseudotumors detected with metal artifact reduction sequence-magnetic resonance imaging (MARS-MRI) and (2) 58 patients without pseudotumors on MARS-MRI.

The clinical, MRI, and histological features of two patients with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated demyelinating pseudotumor were reviewed.
Thirty of these 452 proteins were differentially abundant between the two groups, including two potential biomarkers: 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (which plays a major protective role against oxidative stress) for the pseudotumor group, and scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130 (which is involved in low-grade inflammation) for the periprosthetic osteolysis group.
We report herein the occurrence of USP6 rearrangement in fibro-osseous pseudotumors of the digits using fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis (FISH).

Hips with a mixed or solid pseudotumor had significantly poorer scores of Harris Hip Score (P = .01) and OHS (P = .002) and higher metal ion levels of cobalt (P = .0009) compared to hips without a pseudotumor or with a cystic pseudotumor.
Although the value of KRAS analysis in addition to EUS-FNAB is limited for distinguishing pancreatic mass lesions, when chronic pancreatitis presented as a pseudotumor a negative finding (wild-type KRAS), was useful in strongly suggesting a benign lesion.
It is concluded that in this series of spindle cell tumors of the pancreas, apart from immunohistochemical features, the demonstration of p53 mutations may be helpful in distinguishing true neoplastic tumors from pseudotumors such as IPTs arising in the context of AIP.
Among the ALK-1-immunonegative lesions, one case each of anaplastic lymphoma and pulmonary mycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumor were discordantly ALK FISH-positive, while a case each of intestinal myeloblastic tumor and ganglioglioma showed initial--but not reproducible--positive FISH readings.
TSHR immunoreactivity is associated with elongated cells with the appearance of a fibroblast, often adjacent to clusters of adipocytes, in orbital biopsies from patients with TED but not in strabismus or pseudotumor biopsies.
