Infant with nasolacrimal sinonasal myxoma: Diffusion MRI features
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the imaging features of a rare sinonasal myxoma situated over the right nasolacrimal duct in a 5-month-old male. We emphasize the importance of including sinonasal myxomas in the list of differential diagnostic possibilities when encountering a nasolacrimal gland mass in an infant, and describe the CT and MRI characteristics of this rare entity.

It may mimic other more malignant and vigorous pathologies of the involved part. Case Report. We present a case of a 36-year-old male presenting with proptosis due to involvement of nasolacrimal duct which is rare. W...
متن کاملEndoscopic Modified Medial Maxillectomy for Resection of an Inverted Papilloma Originating from the Entire Circumference of the Maxillary Sinus
For treatment of a sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP), it is essential to have a definite diagnosis, to identify its origin by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to select the appropriate surgical approach based on the staging system proposed by Krouse. Recently, a new surgical approach named endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy (EMMM) was proposed. This approa...
متن کاملExtragnathic odontogenic sinonasal myxoma with mitotic features
We present the first-ever documented evidence of mitotic figures in a case of sinonasal myxoma diagnosed in a 37 year-old gentleman. A 37 year-old gentleman was referred to the Otolaryngology clinic with left nasal discharge for six months. Preoperative images demonstrated obstruction of the left nasal airway with complete opacification of the left maxillary sinus, obscuration of the osteomeata...
متن کاملDifferentiating Benign from Malignant Sinonasal Lesions: Feasibility of Diffusion Weighted MRI
Introduction Appearance of nasal masses on routine CT and MRI are not pathognomonic. We utilized the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value obtained from diffusion weighted image (DWI) to detect the differences in the microstructures of tumor and non-tumor tissues. Objective The objective of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic role of DWI and ADC values in differentiating between mal...
