OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe imaging features of the following genitourinary tract locations that can involve inflammatory pseudotumor: kidney, adrenal gland, retroperitoneum or pelvis, bladder, and other rare locations.CONCLUSION. Although definite radiologic differentiation from malignancy is not clearly possible, we suggest that familiarity with the manifestations of inflammatory pseudotumor can help avoid unnecessary radical surgery before histopathologic proof of malignancy is obtained.
OBJECTIVE. The objective of this article is to describe the broad spectrum and imaging features of multilocular cystic lesions in the uterine cervix from benign lesions, such as uterine cervicitis, endocervical hyperplasia, nabothian cyst, and tunnel cluster, to malignant lesions including adenocarcinoma and adenoma malignum.CONCLUSION. Familiarity with the clinical setting and imaging features of multilocular cystic lesions in the uterine cervix can help prevent unnecessary radical surgery before histopathologic proof of malignancy and can facilitate prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe the imaging features of solitary fibrous tumors involving the kidney, bladder, adrenal gland, retroperitoneum, or pelvis and other rare locations.CONCLUSION. Although clear radiologic differentiation of solitary fibrous tumors from malignancy is not possible, we suggest that familiarity with the manifestations of solitary fibrous tumors can help to avoid unnecessary radical surgery before histopathologic proof of malignancy is obtained.
