Esophageal cancer (EC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide.It is a highly malignant tumor with a high local recurrence and distant metastasis.Notably, about half of the world's EC patients occur in China.Smoking, drinking liquor alcohol and eating hot food are the top three risk factors for EC in China.[1] Radiation therapy (RT) plays a pivotal role in the treatment of locally advanced EC patients, and radiation-induced heart diseases (RIHD) has become a clinically concerned problem, which may involve any structure of heart, including coronary heart disease (CHD), atrial fibrillation (AF), valvular heart disease (VHD), pericardial effusion (PE), heart failure (HF), thromboembolic disease (TED) and atrioventricular block (AVB), sick sinus syndrome (SSS), and etc;some of which may occur after 10-15 years or even more decades.[2,3] Herein, we report some cases with severe multiple RIHD after traditional RT and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in different ages.To the best of our knowledge, few investigators have focused on relevant similar cases.

目的加深对影像学表现为伴有蛋壳样钙化垂体瘤的认识,提高对鞍区占位灶的鉴别诊断能力。方法回顾分析就诊我科的1例影像学表现为蛋壳样钙化的促甲状腺激素型垂体腺瘤患者的临床影像学资料,并复习相关文献。结果该患者头颅CT检查发现鞍区蛋壳样钙化灶,考虑鞍区占位行手术治疗,术后病理提示促甲状腺激素型垂体瘤,免疫组化提示TSH(+),术后随访13个月,未见肿瘤复发,视力视野正常,激素水平均在正常范围内。结论临床上伴有钙化的鞍区占位病变除了常见的颅咽管瘤和脑膜瘤等,还需考虑垂体腺瘤的可能,术前仔细阅片,结合血清激素水平和临
