Abstract

We report CT and MRI findings in a case of squamous cell carcinoma arising from a presacral epidermoid cyst, which has not been previously reported. CT findings revealed a focal wall thickening of the anterior wall of the huge presacral cystic mass. The squamous cell carcinoma was more hypointense than the cystic fluid on T1- and T2-weighted images and showed heterogeneous enhancement on contrast enhanced T1-weighted image.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
