Comparison of the Image Quality of Turbo Spin Echo and Echo-Planar Diffusion-Weighted Imaging of the Head and Neck Region.

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head and neck region is notably challenging due to the complex anatomy and the critical need for high-resolution imaging to accurately diagnose various pathologies. The two prominent MRI techniques used in this context are turbo spin echo (TSE) and echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (EP-DWI). TSE is recognized for providing high-resolution anatomical images, whereas EP-DWI offers functional imaging that highlights the diffusion of water molecules, essential for detecting early pathological changes.

Understanding multicentric haemangioendothelioma: diagnostic dilemmas and treatment strategies.

Epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EH) is a rare malignant vascular tumour occurring mainly in the liver and lungs, with bones being a rare site and primarily seen in the adult population. This case presents a male patient in his 40s who presented to the outpatient department with a chief issue of a painless swelling over the inguinal region for 4 months, gradually increasing in size, along with a history of a gradually enlarging, painless mass on his left knee over the past 5 years. Despite occasional discomfort during physical activities, the mass exhibited no associated trauma, fever, weight loss or systemic symptoms.
