BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to describe the CT and MR imaging findings of nodular fasciitis occurring in the head and neck region. METHODS: CT (n = 6) and MR (n = 4) images obtained from 7 patients (3 men and 4 women; mean age, 19.4 years; age range, 1-48 years) with surgically confirmed nodular fasciitis in the head and neck were retrospectively reviewed. All patients presented with a palpable mass in the head and neck that was noticed 1-3 months earlier: 5 in the face, one in the occipital scalp, and the remaining one in the supraclavicular fossa. We investigated the CT and MR imaging characteristics with emphasis on the location, size, internal content, margin, enhancement pattern, and signal intensity of the lesion. RESULTS: All lesions appeared as a discrete mass on imaging, ranging from 1.0 cm to 4.6 cm in diameter (mean, 2.2 cm). Six lesions, all of which appeared benign, were located in the subcutaneous tissue superficial to the deep cervical fascia. The remaining lesion was located deep to the temporalis muscle and showed an aggressive imaging appearance, markedly eroding the bony orbit and skull. Five lesions were solid, and 2 lesions were partly or completely cystic in appearance. Five lesions were well defined, whereas 2 lesions were ill defined. Four of 5 solid lesions showed moderate to marked diffuse enhancement, whereas the remaining lesion demonstrated mild enhancement. Two cystic lesions showed peripheral, nodular, or rim-like enhancement. Compared with muscle, both solid lesions had isointense signal intensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintense signal intensity on T2-weighted images, whereas the signal intensity of the solid portions of the deep-seated, partly cystic lesion was isointense on both T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. CONCLUSION: Although rare, nodular fasciitis occurs as a discrete solid or cystic mass in the head and neck, depending on the predominant stromal components. When one sees a head and neck mass with a superficial location and moderate to marked enhancement on CT and MR imaging, nodular fasciitis should be included in the differential diagnosis, especially in patients with a recently developed, rapidly growing mass and a history of recent trauma. 相似文献

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, life-threatening soft-tissue infection and a medical and surgical emergency, with increasing incidence in the last few years. It is characterized by a rapidly spreading, progressive necrosis of the deep fascia and subcutaneous tissue. Necrotizing fasciitis is often underestimated because of the lack of specific clinical findings in the initial stages of the disease. Many adjuncts such as laboratory findings, bedside tests—e.g., the “finger test” or biopsy—and imaging tests have been described as being helpful in the early recognition of the disease. Imaging is very useful to confirm the diagnosis, but also to assess the extent of the disorder, the potential surgical planning, and the detection of underlying etiologies. The presence of gas within the necrotized fasciae is characteristic, but may be lacking. The main finding is thickening of the deep fasciae due to fluid accumulation and reactive hyperemia, best seen on magnetic resonance imaging. 相似文献

The authors present two cases of necrotizing fasciitis (NF), one case of dermatomyositis and one case of posttraumatic muscle injury, which have similar magnetic resonance imaging findings in terms of skin, subcutaneous fat, superficial and deep fasciae and muscle involvement. These cases highlight the need for cautious interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, for they are nonspecific and the preoperative decision should be based mostly on the evolution of the clinical status. 相似文献

Nodular fasciitis is an unusual benign reactive process of the soft tissues related to the fascia and characterized by fibroblastic proliferation. Clinical findings and radiologic aspects of six cases are described [four computed tomography (CT), two ultrasonography (US), one magnetic resonance (MR)]. They were located in the infrahyoid anterior triangle (n=3), prevertebral space (n=2), and masticator space (n=1). Most of these lesions showed moderate to strong enhancement on CT or MR imaging, and were partially embedded in the adjacent muscle with preservation of smooth margin of the muscle. Most cases showed a benign nature, except one case in the prevertebral space which showed aggressive nature with jugular fossa destruction and intracranial extension. 相似文献

Purpose
To assess the role of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and to assess the impact of PET/CT on the clinical management.Patients and methods
Sixty-three patients with pathologically proven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma had 83 PET/CT and CT examinations. The first group includes 45 examinations performed as a pre treatment staging for 45 patients. The second group includes 38 examinations performed for 18 patients who had previous treatment.Results
In the first group, FDG–PET/CT yielded additional diagnostic information in 44.4% of patients, with subsequent modification of treatment strategy in 11.1% and implementation of further curative therapy in 6.6%. Based on the findings of PET/CT, modification of radiotherapy was performed in 24.6% of patients in this group. In the second group, PET/CT altered further clinical management in 18.4% patients and induced a change in the planned therapeutic approach in 23.6%.Conclusion
PET/CT is an imaging modality with high diagnostic performance in the assessment of head and squamous cell carcinoma, and induced a significant change in the management of the study population. 相似文献7.

Schwannomas are tumors derived from nerve sheath cells, which are often located in the head and neck, including the CNS. Although a definitive vascular pattern has been previously characterized for these lesions, preoperative embolization of the more vascular schwannomas has not been described. In a review of eight patients with schwannomas who underwent angiography at our institution since 1987, a characteristic vascular pattern became apparent that helped distinguish these lesions from other lesions of the head and neck. The lesions were moderately vascular with tortuous tumor vessels. Scattered, small puddles of contrast medium seen in the mid-arterial, capillary, and venous phases were believed to be characteristic of these lesions. Multiple feeding vessels were noted in all but one case, but these were only minimally enlarged. No arteriovenous shunting or vascular encasement was identified. Six of eight lesions were embolized with significant devascularization and no morbidity or mortality. In patients with head and neck tumors whose angiographic findings include a pattern of moderate hypervascularity, tortuous tumor vessels, and, in particular, scattered contrast puddles without arteriovenous shunting or vascular encasement, schwannoma should be suspected. Embolization is a useful and safe presurgical adjunct in the treatment of vascular schwannomas. 相似文献

Gastric pneumatosis is rare, with causes ranging from benign to lethal. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to present a series of cases of gastric pneumatosis, review the causes, and demonstrate how computed tomography (CT) can help guide management. A range of primary gastric pathology can cause air in the wall of the stomach. However, gastric pneumatosis may reflect intraabdominal pathology arising from other hollow viscera, with indicators of the extragastric etiology on CT. 相似文献

PURPOSE: We retrospectively reviewed the diagnostic imaging findings (radiography, CT and US) of our cases of necrotizing fascitis of soft tissues looking for signs that could be useful for early and accurate diagnosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: May 1991 to February 1998 we examined 130 patients with progressive necrotizing soft tissue infections; in 32 of them (22-84 years old) the retrospective pathologic diagnosis was necrotizing fascitis. Involved sites were the limbs (26/32), the cervical region (5/32) and the perineal region (1/32). Nineteen patients were submitted to conventional radiography, also for soft tissue studies. US was performed in an emergency setting in all the 32 cases, by a selected group of US operators particularly skilled in this kind of soft tissue condition. Contrast enhanced CT was performed in 9 cases. RESULTS: B-mode and Doppler US yielded useful and reliable information for prompt and correct diagnosis. Particularly these techniques showed changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue (28/32), fascia (18/32) and muscle (15/32). We found a good correlation between tissue changes as shown at US and histologic findings, but US missed changes in subcutaneous soft tissue and muscle in 11 cases (3/32 and 8/32, respectively) with subsequent histologic confirmation. Contrast enhanced CT better defined the extent of disease and possible complications, especially in sites that are difficult to study with US. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis and proper treatment are the key issues affecting the chances of recovery for patients with necrotizing fascitis. The clinical suspicion of this condition calls for prompt intervention with effective diagnostic protocols. B-mode, and sometimes color Doppler, US and contrast enhanced CT, together with appropriate laboratory tests, can provide useful information for precise diagnosis and proper treatment. 相似文献

We report three cases of pilomatricoma, one in the infrahyoid neck and the others in the preauricular area. In all cases, CT showed well marginated soft tissue masses that were located mainly in the subcutaneous fat, partly attaching to the overlying skin. There was no evidence of infiltration to deeper structures. Substantial amounts of calcification were found in one tumor. Pilomatricoma should be included in diagnostic consideration when CT shows a well marginated subcutaneous soft tissue mass adherent to the skin with or without visible calcification in the head and neck region. 相似文献

We aim to review the technique and clinical applications of perfusion CT (PCT) of head and neck cancer. The clinical value of PCT in the head and neck includes detection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as it allows differentiation of HNSCC from normal muscles, demarcation of tumor boundaries and tumor local extension, evaluation of metastatic cervical lymph nodes as well as determination of the viable tumor portions as target for imaging-guided biopsy. PCT has been used for prediction of treatment outcome, differentiation between post-therapeutic changes and tumor recurrence as well as monitoring patient after radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. PCT has a role in cervical lymphoma as it may help in detection of response to chemotherapy and early diagnosis of relapsing tumors. 相似文献
