Sex estimation from human skeletal relics is essential in creating an individual's biological profile. This study was performed to examine whether the dimensions and volume of the maxillary sinus can be used to estimate sex. The maxillary sinus's volume, length, width, and height were obtained on the paranasal computed tomography images of 232 adult subjects (116 males and 116 females).

The CT images of 700 patients (350 males, 350 females) were analyzed for morphological characteristics and Pa and Ps bars. Ps and Pa bars were classified as complete or incomplete (partial) depending on the degree of ossification.

- Elastofibroma dorsi (ED) is a rare benign tumor found mostly in women over 50, typically located in the subscapular area and detected incidentally through chest CT scans.
- A study at Hitit University analyzed 3,299 patients, finding ED in 79 (2.4%), with a higher prevalence in females (75.9%) and a median age of 57.5 years; the incidence was significantly age-related.
- The study highlights that ED is often missed in initial radiology reports due to its similar appearance to surrounding tissues, underscoring the need for radiologists to be more aware of its characteristics for early detection.
