From these journals the 100 most cited interventional radiology papers were chosen and analysed.RESULTS: The top paper received 2497 citations and the 100 th paper 200 citations. The average number of citations was 320. Dates of publication ranged from 1953- 2005. Most papers originated in the United States(n = 67) followed by Italy(n = 20) and France(n = 10). Harvard University(n = 18) and Osped Civile(n = 11) were the most prolific institutions. Ten journals produced all of the top 100 papers with "Radiology" and "AJR" making up the majority. SN Goldberg and T Livraghi were the most prolific authors. Nearly two thirds of the papers(n = 61) were published after 1990.CONCLUSION: This analysis identifies many of the landmark interventional radiology papers and provides a fascinating insight into the changing discourse within the field. It also identifies topics, authors and institutions which have impacted greatly on the specialty.展开更多

Most patients with angiomyolipomas are middle-aged women who commonly present with epigastric fullness or pain. Angiomyolipomas are tumors consisting of three tissue types: blood vessels, smooth muscle, and fat. Hepatic angiomyolipomas may be difficult to differentiate from other liver neoplasms by noninvasive imaging. We report a 58-year-old asymptomatic woman with a mass in the right lobe of the liver, found incidentally on routine abdominal sonography. Preoperative radiographic evaluation revealed a 6.5-cm hypervascular lesion abutting the inferior vena cava. Preoperative histologic study demonstrated an epithelial neoplasm suspicious for hepatocellular carcinoma. Metastatic workup was negative. At resection, the tumor was found to be an angiomyolipoma composed of lipoid, vascular and smooth muscle cells. Further staining was positive for HMB-45. Resection margins were negative. The woman had an uneventful recovery and was discharged on postoperative day seven. She currently remains well several months after her right hepatectomy.展开更多
