Brandon R. Runyan, Laura W. Bancroft, Jeffrey J. Peterson, Mark J. Kransdorf, Thomas H. Berquist, and Cedric J. Ortiguera: Cyclops Lesions That Occur in the Absence of Prior Anterior Ligament Reconstruction
Cyclops syndrome should be suspected in any patient in whom an ACL nodule is identified at MR imaging, and similarly a cyclops nodule should be considered as a possible cause of loss of extension in any patient who has sustained ACL injury.

Nuno Pinto Leite, Norbert Kased, Robert F. Hanna, Michele A. Brown, Jose M. Pereira, Rui Cunha, and Claude B. Sirlin: Cross-sectional Imaging of Extranodal Involvement in Abdominopelvic Lymphoproliferative Malignancies
Lymphoproliferative disease of the solid organs and the gastrointestinal tract may affect any abdominopelvic tissue and may produce imaging features that resemble those of other diseases; nevertheless, an appropriate imaging strategy and a familiarity with disease-specific imaging features allow a provisional diagnosis as well as more accurate staging and more effective disease management.
