Rationale And Objective: To investigate the MR characteristics of phlegmonous stage and abscess stage primary spinal epidural abscess.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging characteristics of 27 cases of pathologically confirmed primary spinal epidural abscess. Predisposing conditions of all patients were collected.
Background: Multiple myeloma is a malignant hematological disease characterized by proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells mainly in the bone marrow. Extraosseous epidural plasmacytoma associated with myeloma arises from lymphoid tissue in the epidural space without focal vertebral involvement, and is rare.
Case Summary: A 52-year-old woman was diagnosed with kappa subtype nonsecretory multiple myeloma and presented with bilateral arm weakness 11 mo after completing multiple courses of chemotherapy.
Objectives: Preoperative differentiation between benign parotid gland tumors (BPGT) and malignant parotid gland tumors (MPGT) is important for treatment decisions. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an MRI-based radiomics nomogram for the preoperative differentiation of BPGT from MPGT.
Methods: A total of 115 patients (80 in training set and 35 in external validation set) with BPGT (n = 60) or MPGT (n = 55) were enrolled.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated CT and MRI scans from 11 patients with cervical chordoma, focusing on various imaging features like bone destruction and enhancement patterns.
- CT scans showed significant bone destruction and calcification, with most cases showing hypodense characteristics.
- MRI revealed varying signal intensities and enhancement patterns, highlighting its importance for assessing soft tissue in addition to CT for accurate diagnosis of cervical chordoma.
Objective: To investigate imaging characteristics of spinal epidural cavernous hemangiomas (ECHs) and improve understanding of this rare disease.
Methods: This retrospective study included 7 cases of ECH, confirmed with surgical pathology and imaging. All patients underwent computed tomography and conventional magnetic resonance imaging.
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the magnetic resonance (MR) features of alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS).
Methods: We studied 12 patients with ASPS confirmed by pathology in this retrospective study. MR features were analyzed, especially for the location, morphology, signals, and related enhanced features of the tumor vessels.
