The purpose of this study was to determine the value of MR imaging for the demonstration of masses in the tongue and floor
of the mouth. Nine patients were prospectively examined with MR imaging after physical examination. Imaging protocol included
T2 and contrast-enhanced and non-contrast-enhanced T1-weighted turbo spin-echo sequences, and the findings were compared with
surgical and histopathological results. Histopathological examination revealed four squamous cell carcinomas, one adenoid
cystic carcinoma, two tongue abscesses, and one chronic inflammatory change. The other case was diagnosed as hemangioma depending
on clinical and imaging findings alone. In cases with squamous cell carcinoma, staging was done on the basis of MR imaging
findings, and was found to be T4 in two cases, T3 in one case, and T2 in another. The primary role of MR imaging of the tongue
and oropharynx is not to make a tissue diagnosis. Multiple deep biopsies are mandatory for the differentiation of other inflammatory
and neoplastic lesions. Magnetic resonance imaging produces coronal and sagittal image planes to assess the volume and spread
of the lesion and helps the surgeon determine the direction in which the biopsy should be performed.

The aim of this study was to determine whether rapidly acquired MRI sequences, taking less than 5 min imaging time, can accurately
characterise renal masses. All patients found to have a renal space-occupying lesion on CT or ultrasound were asked to participate
in a prospective study using rapidly acquired MRI. The MRI technique was performed on a GE Signa (General Electric, Milwaukee,
Wis.) 1.5 T magnet using breath-hold coronal and axial T1 GRASS (fast spoiled gradient-recalled acquisition into steady state,
FSPGR/30/90) and axial T2 fast spin-echo sequences. The results were analysed by two radiologists unaware of the CT or ultrasound
findings. The CT/US was independently viewed by a third radiologist. Lesions were characterised as simple cysts, indeterminate
or solid. The MR and CT/US results were correlated and the sensitivity and specificity of MR for the characterisation of simple
cysts and solid renal masses calculated. A total of 144 lesions (68 patients; 29 women 39 men, age range 32–78 years, average
age 60 years) were studied: 111 simple cysts; 3 hyperdense cysts; 26 renal cell carcinomas; and 4 indeterminate lesions on
CT/US. There was agreement between the CT/US and MRI in 82 % of cases. All renal cell carcinomas were correctly characterised
on MRI. Of simple cysts, 79 % were correctly identified using this technique. Breath-hold MRI performed in less than 5 min
can accurately characterise the majority of renal masses. It is 100 % sensitive in the characterisation of renal carcinoma,
and it correctly identified approximately 80 % of simple cysts. If used at the time a renal mass is detected on MRI, it would
reduce the need for further investigation of the majority of incidentally detected lesions which are simple cysts.

Follow-up of two hepatic angiolipomas in a patient without evidence of tuberous sclerosis is reported. Initially, the lesions
presented as homogenously enhancing masses, which were nearly isodense to normal liver tissue on plain CT scans. Focal nodular
hyperplasia was assumed. One year later, fat was detected in the growing tumors and percutaneous core biopsy revealed hepatic
angiolipomas. Natural history of these rare lesions is unknown, and this is to the best of our knowledge the first observation
of fatty metamorphosis in such a benign, mesenchymal hepatic neoplasm.

Image-guided automated needle biopsy of 106 thoracic lesions: a retrospective review of diagnostic accuracy and complication rates 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
We reviewed the diagnostic accuracy and complication rates of transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) with an automated 18-gauge
core biopsy needle and gun, using either fluoroscopic or CT guidance. One hundred six lesions were biopsied in 103 patients
between 1992 and 1998. Hard-copy images, imaging reports, pathology reports and clinical notes were reviewed. In 3 patients
it was not possible to establish the lesion as either malignant or benign from the available follow-up, so these were removed
from the analysis of diagnostic accuracy. Adequate samples for histological diagnosis were obtained in 104 of 106 (98 %) biopsies.
There were 75 of 85 (88 %) true-positive core biopsies for malignant lesions and a specific cell type was identified in 70
of 85 (82 %) cases. A specific histological diagnosis was obtained in 12 of 18 (66 %) biopsies. There was a 19 % rate of pneumothorax
with only 2.4 % requiring drainage. Minor haemoptysis occurred in 3.8 % of procedures. The TNB technique with an automated
core biopsy needle provides a high level of diagnostic accuracy, effectively distinguishes cell type in malignancy and provides
a definite diagnosis in benign disease more frequently than fine needle aspiration (FNA). There is no increased complication
rate compared with FNA.

Gleno-humeral instabilities 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
The purpose of this review is to highlight the most efficient imaging exploratory techniques depicting shoulder instability,
to describe its various forms and to point out the findings which can simulate instability. In anterior recurrent dislocation,
surgery is indicated and the procedure essentially depends on the importance of glenoid rim lesions. In this case, a standard
X-ray evaluation is usually sufficient. The CT arthrography or MRI techniques give more specific details as to the severity
of the lesions, particularly soft tissues alterations; however, these data do not alter standard therapeutic protocol. In
fixed posterior dislocations, CT scan represents the most pertinent technique to evaluate the size of the humeral head defect
and to determine the therapeutic follow-up. In subtle forms of instability, diagnosis or instability direction are not clearly
assessed clinically and standard X-ray evaluation is usually unremarkable. In this case, further exploration, such as CT arthrography,
MR imaging or MR arthrography, are recommended to confirm the diagnosis of instability and to evaluate its direction. The
technique of choice is undoubtedly MR arthrography. Atraumatic voluntary painless subluxations associated with hyperlaxity
of the shoulder do not require any specific exploratory method because the findings are generally limited to a capacious axillary
pouch.

We examined the value of spinal cord magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnostic work-up of multiple sclerosis (MS).
Forty patients suspected of having MS were examined within 24 months after the start of symptoms. Disability was assessed,
and symptoms were categorized as either brain or spinal cord. Work-up further included cerebrospinal fluid analysis and standard
proton-density, T2-, and T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced brain and spinal cord MRI. Patients were categorized as either clinically
definite MS (n = 13), laboratory-supported definite MS (n = 14), or clinically probable MS (n = 4); four patients had clinically probable MS, and in nine MS was suspected. Spinal cord abnormalities were found in 35
of 40 patients (87.5 %), consisting of focal lesions in 31, only diffuse abnormalities in two, and both in two. Asymptomatic
spinal cord lesions occurred in six patients. All patients with diffuse spinal cord abnormality had clear spinal cord symptoms
and a primary progressive disease course. In clinically definite MS, the inclusion of spinal imaging increased the sensitivity
of MRI to 100 %. Seven patients without a definite diagnosis had clinically isolated syndromes involving the spinal cord.
Brain MRI was inconclusive, while all had focal spinal cord lesions which explained symptoms and ruled out other causes. Two
other patients had atypical brain abnormalities suggesting ischemic/vascular disease. No spinal cord abnormalities were found,
and during follow-up MS was ruled out. Spinal cord abnormalities are common in suspected MS, and may occur asymptomatic. Although
diagnostic classification is seldom changed, spinal cord imaging increases diagnostic sensitivity of MRI in patients with
suspected MS. In addition, patients with primary progressive MS may possibly be earlier diagnosed. Finally, differentiation
with atypical lesions may be improved.

The aim of this study was to describe the fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) procedure in patient with a optic nerve lesion.
A case of optic nerve and brain aspergillosis, an infrequent condition that can mimic tumor or tumor-like lesions, is reported.
The patient was studied by CT and MRI and definite diagnosis was established by means of an ultrasound-guided FNAB. Specimen
preparation revealed the presence of multiple hyphae of Aspergillus fumigatus in the optic nerve lesion. The FNAB procedure is a safe and reliable diagnostic method for suspected intraorbitary tumors
and tumor-like conditions especially when other less-invasive modalities have failed to establish the diagnosis and when cytologic
confirmation is needed to implement aggressive therapy.

Ultrasound and computed tomography imaging techniques are very reliable methods of detection and diagnosis of renal angiomyolipoma not associated with the tuberous sclerosis of Bourneville's disease: results are considerably improved when compared with conventional investigations (IVU, arteriography). The series reported included 6 patients with large angiomyolipomas and 5 with lesions less than 2 cm in diameter discovered fortuitously on ultrasonography: all tumors were partially or totally hyperechogenic. The fatty tissue was detected in 9 of the 11 cases by computed tomography imaging. 相似文献

Elastofibroma of the neck 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Elastofibromas are benign lesions of the chest wall. We describe the first reported case of elastofibroma in the neck. Imaging
features as well as location of the lesion were atypical. On computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging the lesion
contained a marked preponderance of fat, because the lesion arose within fat.

Clinically evident colonic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare. In the present study a hypervascular sigmoid
mass was demonstrated on arterial-phase helical CT using a water enema in a patient who had suffered left nephrectomy 8 years
previously for RCC. The intense and early enhancement of the lesion suggested the possibility of a solitary colonic metastasis
from RCC, a diagnosis which was pathologically confirmed.

Pulmonary MALT lymphoma: imaging findings in 24 cases 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The aim of this study was to describe the imaging features of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma.
The chest radiographs (n = 18) and CT scans (n = 17) of 24 patients (18 men and 6 women) aged 27–78 years (mean = 56 years), with a known diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma,
were retrospectively reviewed by two radiologists and the imaging findings are described. Six of the 24 patients had a history
of an autoimmune disorder and 1 patient had acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Multiple pulmonary lesions were identified
in 19 of 24 patients (79 %) and solitary lesions in 4 of 24 patients (17 %). Diffuse pulmonary infiltration was present in
1 patient. Lesions included masses or mass-like areas of consolidation (n = 21) and pulmonary nodules (n = 18). Associated findings were air bronchograms, airway dilatation, a positive angiogram sign and a halo of ground-glass
shadowing at lesion margins. Peribronchovascular thickening was also observed, as were hilar or mediastinal lymph node enlargement
and pleural effusions or thickening. Although rare, the diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma should be considered in patients
with the imaging features described, particularly when in association with an indolent clinical course or a history of autoimmune
disease.

The aim of this study was to describe cross-sectional imaging features of recurrent papilloma of the nasal fossa and paranasal
sinuses and to evaluate the role of MR and CT in the postoperative follow-up of this lesion. Magnetic resonance imaging and
CT of ten patients who presented recurrence of inverted papilloma were reviewed and correlated to initial imaging, endoscopy,
and surgical reports. Imaging patterns of recurrent inverted papilloma are identical to those of initial tumors and recurrence
location is closely related to the site of the former lesion. Magnetic resonance is more efficient than CT for the diagnosis
and evaluation of extensions. Magnetic resonance supplies the deficiencies of endoscopy in case of extensions to the frontal
sinus or the lateral recess of the antrum, especially if mucosal hyperplasia or sinusitis is associated. Magnetic resonance
imaging is the first imaging modality to perform in the follow-up after removal of inverted papilloma.

Tumors of the cardiac valves: imaging findings in magnetic resonance imaging, electron beam computed tomography, and echocardiography 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We describe the findings from various cross-sectional imaging modalities in patients with cardiac valve adherent masses.
The techniques are discussed, and imaging findings are compared with the results of cardiac surgery. All three patients had
neurological symptoms and/or cardiac murmurs. Transthoracic and/or transesophageal echocardiography revealed the cardiac mass
in all three. For differentiation of thrombus and cardiac neoplasm magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was also performed in
all three patients and electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) in two. Fast segmented cine gradient-echo MRI techniques provided
mass depiction in all patients, while T1-weighted spin-echo imaging failed in mass detection in one patient. None of the patients
showed evidence of valve regurgitation or stenosis in flow sensitive cine MRI. EBCT excluded mass calcifications in both patients
and reliably demonstrated the valve attached lesions. Although echocardiography is the modality of choice in evaluating cardiac
masses and especially valve attached masses, MRI and EBCT provide additional information about tissue characteristics and
allows an excellent overview of the cardiac and paracardiac morphology. Fast segmented cine gradient-echo MRI is especially
able to depict even small tumors attached to rapidly moving cardiac valves, and valve competence can be easily assessed within
the same examination.

We report a rare case of chondroblastoma arising from the ischium which showed an increased 18F-FDG uptake. Chondroblastoma is an uncommon lesion and usually involves the epiphysis of long bones. However, in this case,
the tumor appeared as a well-defined osteolytic lesion in the ischium on radiographs. MR imaging demonstrated two components
in the tumor: a solid one and a multilobular cystic component. 18F-FDG PET imaging revealed an increased uptake in the ischium. The 18F-FDG uptake resembled the results observed in malignant bone tumors. A histological diagnosis of chondroblastoma was obtained
from tissue of an open biopsy. An immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated weak expression of both Glut-1 and HK-II. These
findings suggest that Glut-1 and HK-II expression are not strongly related to FDG uptake in chondroblastoma. 相似文献

Diffuse esophageal leiomyomatosis is a rare disorder which may be found in association with leiomyomas in other locations
or with other disorders. We report two cases in men, one with associated tracheobronchial involvement, which illustrate the
value of imaging in differentiating this entity from other causes of dysphagia and in establishing a diagnosis.

A 25-year-old male patient who had a brother with Crohn's disease was referred to our clinic with bloody diarrhea and crampy
abdominal pain. After a plain erect abdominal X-ray, enteroclysis was performed, followed by abdominopelvic CT. Besides the
radiological features of CD, both enteroclysis and CT revealed a big polypoid filling defect in the small intestine. The patient
was surgically treated and the histopathology of the specimen revealed a giant fibroid polyp superimposed on CD, an extremely
rare complication heretofore unmentioned in the radiology literature. In this report we discuss the role of enteroclysis in
the diagnosis of complicated cases of long-standing CD. In addition, we also shed light on the importance of both enteroclysis
and CT, with their complementary findings, in the radiological diagnosis of rare complicated cases of CD.
