Abstract
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a functional imaging technique sensitive to microstructure in tissues. It is widely acknowledged to reflect cellularity in tumors. A small part of DWI is also sensitive to perfusion-related information and might therefore be also be able to reflect microvessel density in tumor tissues. Aim of the present study was to elucidate possible correlations between microvessel density and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).Thirty-four patients with histologically proven primary HNSCC were included in the study. DWI was performed with a 3 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (b-values 0 and 800 s/mm) and histogram analysis was calculated with a whole lesion measurement. In every case, microvessel density was estimated with CD105-stained specimens.There were no statistically significant correlations between ADC histogram parameters and microvessel density. The calculated correlation coefficients ranged from r = -0.27, P = .13 for entropy and vessel area to r = 0.16, P = .40 for ADCmin and vessel count.Whole-lesion histogram analysis of ADC values cannot reflect microvessel density in HNSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values derived from Diffusion-weighted images are able to reflect tumor microstructure, such as cellularity, extracellular matrix or proliferation potential. This present study sought to correlate prognostic relevant histopathologic parameters with ADC values derived from a whole lesion measurement in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four patients with histological proven primary HNSCC were prospectively acquired. Histogram analysis was derived from ADC maps. In all cases, expression of Hif1-alpha, VEGF, EGFR, p53, p16, Her 2 were analyzed. RESULTS In the overall patient sample, ADCmax correlated with p53 expression (p = -0.446, p = 0.009) and ADCmode correlated with Her2-expression (p = -0.354, p = 0.047). In the p16 positive group there were several correlations. P25, P90 and entropy correlated with Hif1-alpha (p = -0.423, p = 0.05, p = -0.494, p = 0.019, p = 0.479, p = 0.024, respectively). Kurtosis correlated with P53 expression (p = -0.466, p = 0.029). For p16 negative carcinomas the following associations could be identified. Mode correlated with VEGF-expression (p = -0.657, p = 0.039). ADCmax, P75, P90, and Std correlated with p53-expression (p = -0.827, p = 0.002, p = -0.736, p = 0.01, p = -0.836, p = 0.001 and p = -0.70, p = 0.016, respectively). There were no statistically significant differences of ADC histogram parameters between p16 positive and p16 negative carcinomas. CONCLUSION ADC histogram values can reflect different histopathological features in HNSCC. Associations between ADC histogram analysis parameters and histopathology depend on p16 status.

Abstract
Our purpose was to analyze possible associations between histogram analysis parameters of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging DCE MRI and histopathological findings like proliferation index, cell count and nucleic areas in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). 30 patients (mean age 57.0 years) with primary HNSCC were included in the study. In every case, histogram analysis parameters of Ktrans, Ve, and Kep were estimated using a mathlab based software. Tumor proliferation index, cell count, and nucleic areas were estimated on Ki 67 antigen stained specimens. Spearman's non-parametric rank sum correlation coefficients were calculated between DCE and different histopathological parameters. KI 67 correlated with Ktrans min (p = −0.386, P = 0.043) and s Ktrans skewness (p = 0.382, P = 0.045), Ve min (p = −0.473, P = 0.011), Ve entropy (p = 0.424, P = 0.025), and Kep entropy (p = 0.464, P = 0.013). Cell count correlated with Ktrans kurtosis (p = 0.40, P = 0.034), Ve entropy (p = 0.475, P = 0.011). Total nucleic area correlated with Ve max (p = 0.386, P = 0.042) and Ve entropy (p = 0.411, P = 0.030). In G1/2 tumors, only Ktrans entropy correlated well with total (P =0.78, P =0.013) and average nucleic areas (p = 0.655, P = 0.006). In G3 tumors, KI 67 correlated with Ve min (p = −0.552, P = 0.022) and Ve entropy (p = 0.524, P = 0.031). Ve max correlated with total nucleic area (p = 0.483, P = 0.049). Kep max correlated with total area (p = −0.51, P = 0.037), and Kep entropy with KI 67 (p = 0.567, P = 0.018). We concluded that histogram-based parameters skewness, kurtosis and entropy of Ktrans, Ve, and Kep can be used as markers for proliferation activity, cellularity and nucleic content in HNSCC. Tumor grading influences significantly associations between perfusion and histopathological parameters.

Abstract
AIM To analyze associations between parameters of positron-emission tomography (PET) and histogram analysis values of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Overall, 28 patients with primary HNSCC of different localizations were involved. 18F-FDG-PET/CT and DCE MR imaging were performed for all patients. Histogram analysis parameters of DCE MRI were calculated. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to analyze the associations between investigated parameters. RESULTS In the overall cohort, SUVmax correlated with Kep P10 (ρ=0.43, p=0.027), Kep P25 (0.40, p=0.035), and had a tendency to correlate with median Kep (ρ=0.33, p=0.098). TLG tended to correlate with Kep P25 (0.33, p=0.09) and P10 Ktrans (ρ=0.35, p=0.07). In G1/2 tumors, SUVmax correlated with Kep P10 (ρ=0.645, p=0.032), and tended to correlate with Ktrans mean (ρ=0.54, p=0.089), Ktrans min (ρ=0.58, p=0.06), Ktrans P10 (ρ=0.56, p=0.07), Ktrans P25 (ρ=0.59, p=0.056), and Ktrans median (ρ=0.054, p=0.089), as well with Kep min (ρ=0.56, p=0.07). SUVmean tended to correlate with Kep kurtosis (ρ=0.56, p=0.07). In G3 tumors, no tendencies or statistically significant correlations between the PET and DCE MRI parameters were identified. CONCLUSION Tumor metabolism and perfusion show complex associations in HNSCC. These associations depend on tumor grading.

Abstract
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a rare paraneoplastic syndrome characterized by digital clubbing, periosteal reaction, polyarthralgia, arthritis, and synovitis. Herein, we report a case series of patients with secondary HOA caused by non-pleural or pulmonary tumors.The radiologic databases of 2 tertiary university hospitals were retrospectively screened for secondary HOA patients. In addition, a systemic review of the published case reports. Only HOA cases with non-pleural or pulmonary malignancies were involved into the study. HOA in primary pleural or pulmonary malignant or benign disorders, as well in inflammatory diseases were excluded. In all cases, plain radiography was performed and clinical signs were documented.In our databases, 6 patients with secondary HOA were identified. In addition, the systemic review yielded 24 eligible patients. The most prevalent primary tumors were nasopharyngeal carcinoma and esophageal cancer in 6 patients (20%), respectively. In 17 patients, (56.7%) HOA was associated with lung metastases, and in 10 patients (33.3%), no lung metastases were detected. In 14 patients (46.7%), HOA was symptomatically before a tumor diagnosis was made. Plain radiography displayed typically features with periostal enlargement in every case.This study is the first report about secondary HOA caused by non-pleural or pulmonary tumors. Various primary tumors were identified, including several rare tumors such as sarcomas. HOA is a rare disorder with typically radiologically findings, which is not only associated with lung cancer or pleural mesothelioma and can even occur in tumor patients without lung metastasis.
