Calcifying Aponeurotic Fibroma: Case Report with Radiographic and MR Features
Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare, benign fibroblastic tumor. The lesion has a propensity for local invasion and a high recurrent rate. Therefore, accurate preoperative diagnosis and complete excision are important to prevent the recurrence of the tumor after surgical removal. However, radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging findings of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma have been extrem...

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is a rare soft tissue tumor that typically occurs in the distal extremities of children and adolescents. Because a calcifying aponeurotic fibroma is an ill-defined mass and has a tendency to infiltrate the surrounding tissue, local recurrence rates are 50%. We report a case of calcifying aponeurotic fibroma occurring in the elbow region, an uncommon site. The pati...

Calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor is a rare odontogenic neoplasm. Its occurrence in the maxillary sinus is very rare. Maxillary tumors tend to be locally aggressive and may rapidly involve the surrounding vital structures. We report a case of calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor involving maxillary sinus in a 48 years old female patient with the oral mucosal involvement. The purpose o...

Calcifying aponeurotic fibroma (CAF) is a rare benign tumor that typically develops in the fascia and tendons. On MRI, CAF usually shows isointensity on T1WI and heterogeneous high intensity on T2WI. We report a case of 17-month-old girl with CAF on her right ankle. MRI showed an usual signal intensity for CAF. At 3 years and 4 months of age, MRI revealed hyperintense nodules on T1WI and T2WI i...
