Head and neck MRI of Kimura disease

Non-uniformity of Clinical Head, Head and Neck, and Body Coils in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Introduction Signal intensity uniformity in a magnetic resonance (MR) image indicates how well the MR imaging (MRI) system represents an object. One of the major sources of image non-uniformity in high-field MRI scanners is inhomogeneity of radio-frequency coil. The aim of this study was to investigate non-uniformity in head, head and neck, and body coils and compare the obtained results to det...

Kimura Disease and Angiolymphoid

CT of Kimura disease.

Kimura is credited with first describing a condition-eosinophilic granuloma of the soft tissue-that subsequently has been given his name. Since then, more than 500 cases have been reported in review series, mainly in the Chinese and Japanese literature [1]. The disease occurs only in Orientals, and more than 80% of these patients are male. Presentation may occur over a wide age range, but it is...

Solitary Head and Neck Cysticercosis: A Series of Rare Cases

Introduction: Cysticercosis is a disease which is caused by the infestation of the larvae Taenia solium, with humans acting as an intermediate host instead of a definitive host. Head and neck involvement including maxillofacial and oral involvement of cysticercosis is quite rare.  Case Report: We report a series of rare cases of cysticercosis of the head and neck region encountered in a tertia...

Head and Neck Tumors: Management of Primary Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma

Introduction: Sarcomas account for 1% of all tumors originated in the head and neck regions in adults. They constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors of mesenchymal origin with multiple histological variants. The undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) subtype is the most frequent variant with an incidence range of 2.7-38%.   Materials and Methods: This retrospective...
