dual-time-point fdg-pet/ct imaging of temporal bone chondroblastoma: a report of two cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
temporal bone chondroblastoma is an extremely rare benign bone tumor. we encountered two cases showing similar imaging findings on computed tomography (ct), magnetic resonance imaging (mri), and dual-time-point 18f-fluorodeoxyglucose (18f-fdg) positron emission tomography (pet)/ct. in both cases, ct images revealed temporal bone defects and sclerotic changes around the tumor. most parts of the tumor showed low signal intensity on t2- weighted mri images and non-uniform enhancement on gadolinium contrast-enhanced t1-weighted images. no increase in signal intensity was noted in diffusion-weighted images. dual-time-point pet/ct showed markedly elevated 18f-fdg uptake, which increased from the early to delayed phase. nevertheless, immunohistochemical analysis of the resected tumor tissue revealed weak expression of glucose transporter-1 and hexokinase ii in both tumors. temporal bone tumors, showing markedly elevated 18f-fdg uptake, which increases from the early to delayed phase on pet/ct images, may be diagnosed as malignant bone tumors. therefore, the differential diagnosis should include chondroblastoma in combination with its characteristic findings on ct and mri.

متن کاملChondroblastoma of the temporal bone.
Chondroblastomas are highly destructive tumors that are derived from immature cartilage cells. The occurrence of this tumor in the temporal bone or skull base is uncommon. Approximately 70 cases have previously been reported, several of which have involved the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). We report here the case of a 67-year-old woman who presented with right-sided mixed hearing loss, a right...

To investigate the clinical characteristics of chondroblastoma with an emphasis on lesions located in the long bone diaphysis, we reviewed the clinical data of 7 patients with histologically proven chondroblastoma treated in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital and Fudan University Cancer Hospital between January 1995 and May 2009. There were two rare cases of chondroblastoma in the long ...
