Enlarged perivascular space mimicking mesencephalothalamic cystic tumor
Perivascular spaces (PVSs) of the brain, also known as Virchow-Robin spaces are pial-lined interstitial fluidfilled structures that surround the small vessels as they extend into the brain parenchyma. PVSs, which are smaller than 2 mm can be seen in all age groups.1,2 Occasionally, PVSs may become large, cause mass effect and be misdiagnosed as a cystic neoplasm. These giant spaces are most com...
متن کاملMulticystic Perivascular Spaces Mimicking Cystic Neoplasm of Brain
Background: Virchow-Robin (VR) spaces are the fluid-filled perivascular spaces adjacent the brain vessels. The signal intensities of the VR spaces are very similar to those of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). VR spaces should be distinguished various pathologic conditions, including lacunar infarctions, cystic periventricular leukomalacia, cryptococcosis, cystic neoplasms and neuroepithelial cysts. C...
متن کاملPerivascular epitheloid cell tumor (PEComa) mimicking retroperitoneal liposarcoma
PEComas are a collection of generally rare tumors, defined by the World Health Organization as 'mesenchymal tumors composed of histologically and immunohistochemically distinctive perivascular epitheloid cells'. We describe the case of retroperitoneal PEComa with a liposarcoma-like appearance on cross-sectional imaging, but distinctive immunohistochemistry revealing the correct diagnosis.
متن کامل[Perinephric liposarcoma mimicking cystic renal tumor].
Liposarcoma is one of the most common primary retroperitoneal neoplasms, and the perinephric region is a frequent location for them. Liposarcomas show a variety of radiographic features in terms of histological types and tumor sizes, so the specific diagnosis of liposarcoma is often difficult. We present a unique case of perinephric dedifferentiated liposarcoma mimicking cystic renal tumor. A 7...
متن کاملPerivascular epithelioid cell tumor of the descending colon mimicking a gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a case report
BACKGROUND We present a case of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), which clinically and histologically mimics a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). CASE PRESENTATION A 42-year-old woman was found to have a mass in the left flank during her annual medical checkup. Computed tomography examination revealed a submucosal tumor of the descending colon. Surgeons and radiologists suspec...
متن کاملExtratesticular epidermoid cyst mimicking enlarged testis.
Epidermoid cysts are benign simple epithelial tumors usually appearing as hypoechoic lesions with scattered echogenic reflectors on sonography. Herein, we present a 53-year-old man with an extratesticular epidermoid cyst in the right scrotum which shows confusing sonographic findings, normal-appearing echogenicity of the lesion and atrophied testis, which lead to a diagnostic dilemma. With a va...
