BACKGROUND Solitary myofibroma of the spine is extremely rare, particularly among adults. To the best of our knowledge, only 3 cases affecting lumbar vertebrae have been reported in the English language literature. Of them, only 1 case was an adult case of solitary myofibroma affecting the L1 vertebra. METHODS We report a case of solitary myofibroma affecting the L5 vertebra in an 18-year-old...

This report is a brief presentation of one case of Oilier's disease. Ollier's disease (multiple enchondromata) patients have widespread involvement of the skeleton, especially the hands the lesions are detected because of bone pain or deformity. Virtually all cases have been sporadic. Roentgenographically, the lesions may be detectable in early infancy as clear, homogeneous, oval lesions w...

Abstract Melanotic neuroectodermal tumors of infancy are rare pigmented locally aggressive that usually occur within 1 year life. Head and neck areas frequently involved with maxilla being the most common site. Expansile growth high recurrence rate characteristics this cancer. Though rare, radiologists clinicians must be aware should consider entity when diagnosing pediatric head masses. Comput...

Bone hemangiomas are extremely rare in the ribs, with only a handful of cases reported in the literature. A case of a rib hemangioma is presented in which the pre-resection diagnosis was an aggressive chest wall tumor. The plain film, CT, MRI and bone scan features of the lesion were reviewed with the pathological correlation. On imaging, the lesion was expansile and lytic, and it also had fine...

aneurysmal bone cyst (abc) is a benign expansile bone tumor, most commonly involving the medulla of long bones. abc rarely arises within the cortex or in the subperiosteal region, radiographically mimicking other conditions, in particular surface osteosarcomathat is low-grade in nature and may go secondary abc changes, and telangiectatic osteosarcoma. both of these are sometimes mistaken micros...

We report a case of large temporal giant cell reparative granuloma in a 72-year-old man. MR imaging depicted a right temporal expansile multiloculated lesion, with hyper- and hypointense signal areas on T2-weighted images, heterogeneously enhancing after gadolinium administration. Cortical thinning and bone remodeling of the temporal squamous portion were better seen on CT. The patient underwen...

T clinical history in this case was not particularly helpful in making the diagnosis and, indeed, the plain-film appearances of expansion and osteopenia would be in keeping with a number of lesions. A swelling in the neck may have suggested hyperparathyroidism, but biochemical results were essential for making the diagnosis. A brown tumour of primary hyperparathyroidism was confirmed pathologic...

Infiltrating syringomatous adenomas are rare lesions of the nipple that were first described in 1983. The exact origin of these lesions is uncertain, although derivation from eccrine structures of the nipple has been postulated because the lesions are microscopically reminiscent of other tumors of eccrine origin, such as syringomatous carcinoma. The lesions are usually infiltrative, showing an ...
