Differentiation between brain tumor recurrence and radiation injury using perfusion, diffusion-weighted imaging and MR spectroscopy.
BACKGROUND Differentiation between tumor recurrence/vital tumor tissue and radionecrosis based on conventional diagnostic imaging is impossible because of the likeness of the images. In such circumstances advanced MRI techniques (PWI, DWI, 1HMRS) seem to be helpful. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of PWI, DWI and 1HMRS in the differentiation of the tumor recurr...
متن کاملPerfusion and spectroscopy magnetic resonance imaging in a case of lymphocytic vasculitis mimicking brain tumor
BACKGROUND Lymphocytic vasculitis of the central nervous system is an uncommon subtype of primary angiitis of the central nervous system (PACNS) - a rare inflammatory disorder affecting parenchymal and leptomeningeal arteries and veins. CASE REPORT Establishing diagnosis on the basis of neuroimaging only is difficult, as it can mimic a brain tumor. Thus, histological diagnosis is essential fo...
متن کاملAdult Pilomyxoid Astrocytoma Mimicking a Cortical Brain Tumor: MR Imaging Findings
A 22-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) was admitted to our institution with a generalized seizure. She had no focal neurologic deficit. On MR imaging, a well-defined, solid mass (2 × 2 cm) was noted in the left medial parietal lobe and showed slightly low-signal intensity and homogeneous high-signal intensity relative to the surrounding grey matter on T1weighted and T2-weighted MR i...
متن کاملdesmoid tumor of the chest wall mimicking recurrent breast cancer: multimodality imaging findings
desmoid tumor of breast is a rare benign, locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate. it has been associated with scar from previous breast surgery or trauma. especially in breast cancer patients with previous operation history, it may simulate recurrent breast cancer clinically and radiologically. we presented multimodality imaging findings (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic ...
متن کاملHepatic actinomycosis mimicking an isolated tumor recurrence
Actinomyces species has been described as an opportunistic pathogen, particularly in the oral cavity; however, in rare cases these bacteria can cause actinomycosis which is characterized by formation of abscesses in the mouth, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract. Actinomycosis was commonly present in the pre-antibiotic era; however, it has a low prevalence now days. It has been recognized since 15...
