ABSTRACT

Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma (SNTCS) is a highly malignant and rare tumour characterised by a complex admixture of teratomatous and carcinosarcomatous components. In the head and neck area, it almost exclusively occurs in the sinonasal cavities; however, rare instances of nasopharyngeal and oral cavity involvement have been reported, with fewer than 100 cases reported in the literature. Contribution: The contributed case involves the correlative CT, MRI and histopathology of a sinonasal teratocarcinosarcoma with intracranial involvement.

ABSTRACT

Bilateral acute hearing loss is rare, and the aetiology is poorly defined. Less common treatable pathologies such as otosyphilis must be part of the differential diagnosis and should be actively excluded. We present a case of a 23-year-old woman who developed acute bilateral hearing loss due to otosyphilis, confirmed on audiometry and laboratory tests. In this article, the CT, MRI and clinical findings are presented and discussed.

ABSTRACT

Although squamous cell carcinoma accounts for the overwhelming majority of head and neck malignant neoplasms, extranodal follicular dendritic cell sarcoma (FDCS) of the pharyngeal region can have a similar clinical presentation. The histopathological features of this rare entity have been described and emphasised in the literature. We present the case of a 65-year-old male patient with FDCS of the tonsil to illustrate the radiologic findings of FDCS and also highlight this infrequent but salient differential diagnosis for adult head and neck neoplasia.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To report the imaging characteristics of odontogenic myxoma (OM) and compare the different imaging modalities used. STUDY DESIGN: The radiological images of 33 OM cases were retrospectively analyzed. The radiographs were severally examined to describe the features of OM as seen on conventional radiographs (CRs), computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance images (MRIs). RESULTS: MRI was effective in displaying the true extension and contents of OMs. CT scans demonstrated the extensions of OMs, expansion, growth pattern, and rendered it possible to compare density of OM with that of surrounding muscles. Assessment of CRs revealed great limitations about the diagnostic values and failed to display important features. CONCLUSIONS: All 3 radiographic techniques, conventional radiography, CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have inherent advantages and disadvantages; however, all 3 should be routinely used in the diagnosis of OM. The results of CT and MRI can accurately reveal margins of tumors and greatly aid in diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is a hereditary autosomal dominant syndrome presenting with a number of signs and symptoms in different population groups. METHODS: The investigators implemented a 40-year retrospective analysis of the clinical and radiological features of South Africans affected by NBCCS presenting at the Departments of Oral Surgery, Pathology and Radiology of two major referral hospitals. Details of age, gender, ethnic origin, clinical, and radiological findings were recorded and compared to previous reports. A list of diagnostic criteria for diagnosis of NBCCS in this population was complied. Descriptive statistics were computed, and the P value was set at 0.05 or less. RESULTS: The sample was composed of 15 patients. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 22.7years (SD 20.9) with eight (53.3%) patients diagnosed before 20years of age (P=0.0001). The male: female ratio was 2:1. The most frequent major criteria were keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) (100%), calcification of falx cerebri (40%), palmo-plantar pits (26.7%), and basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) (20%). The most frequent minor criteria were bifid ribs (20%), skull anomalies (20%), and hypertelorism (20%). CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study indicate that there was a low frequency of falx cerebri calcifications, BCCs, skull, and rib anomalies in this sample compared to other population groups. These differences could be attributed to genetic, racial, and environmental factors. Future studies are needed to compile diagnostic criteria specific to different population groups.
