This is a case of horseshoe kidney. The kidney looks bright because the images were taken while it was filled with intravascular contrast. Although the renal pelves and ureters are often dilated in patients with horseshoe kidneys, the attending radiologist thought the dilatation was more extreme in this case because the patient had a markedly distended urinary bladder as a consequence of difficulty urinating.

This is a case of malrotation of the midgut. The entire colon is on the left side of the abdomen. The bowel seen on the patient's right side is small intestine. As a result of the malrotation, the SMA is to the right of the SMV, which is the opposite of their normal relationship. The patient presented with pain in the lower left quadrant, which the attending radiologist thought was due to a left-sided appendicitis. I have labelled what I believe is the inflamed appendix.

This is a case of very significant dilatation of the common bile duct (yellow question mark) and the main pancreatic duct (green question mark). The radiologist could discover no cause and suggested ERCP (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) to help find a cause.

How often do you get to see most of the abdominal lymph nodes, both mesenteric and retroperitoneal? In a patient such as this one, with lymphoma, you get a real sense of how many nodes there are. They are all the gray lumps that you can't assign another name too.
