Angiomatous Meningioma: CT and MR Imaging Features
giomas on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are easily identified and hence, easy to diagnose (1). However, certain meningioma subtypes have unusual imaging findings, making it difficult to diagnose them as well as determining the appropriate treatment protocol. This is particularly true for rare meningioma subtypes, which include the angiomatous meningioma, which sh...
متن کاملEctopic extraspinal meningioma: CT and MR appearance.
We report a case of an ectopic, extraspinal meningioma that appeared as a midline interscapular mass in a 13-year-old girl. The tumor involved the T-2 and T-3 spinous processes, but was dorsal to the lamina and was entirely extrinsic to the spinal canal. Large amounts of tumoral calcification and reactive hyperostosis were present, radiologically mimicking an osteogenic sarcoma.
متن کاملDiploic meningioma contiguous to a contralateral parasagittal meningioma: CT and MR features.
A patient with a diploic meningioma is presented. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an intradiploic tumor which seemed contiguous at a point to a contralateral, recurrent parasagittal meningioma. On CT, density of the diploic meningioma was similar to that of the parasagittal meningioma, but the contrast study showed that the former enhanced much less than the latter. Magnetic resonance (M...
متن کاملProliferating trichilemmal tumors: CT and MR imaging findings in two cases, one with malignant transformation.
We report the imaging findings in two patients with proliferating trichilemmal tumors. In the first patient, the tumor arose on the lower lip, a very unusual location for this type of tumor, and showed malignant transformation with metastasis to a regional lymph node. It was seen as a poorly marginated soft-tissue mass with isointense signal on T1-weighted MR images and hyperintense signal on T...
متن کاملAcute cerebral ischemia: CT and MR findings.
It has been reported in two recent papers (1, 2) that magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is more sensitive than computed tomography (CT) in the detection of acute cerebral ischemia. We believe this is not entirely true, at least concerning the early phase of ischemic stroke (within 4 hours from the onset of symptoms). It is our conviction that the earlier the recognition of initial parenchymal inj...
