Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: A Classic Presentation.

An 11-year-old girl presented with an insidiously evolving, reddish-brown, small, hard, elevated lesion, occupying the midsection of her face, which had been present since early childhood. There were also a few small white spots over the trunk. There was no history of seizures or visual deficit, and no burning on exposure to sunlight.

Tuberous Sclerosis Complex: Diagnostic Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a well-known clinical entity, characterized by facial angio-fibroma, shagreen patch, and hypo-melanotic, and confetti-like skin lesions. An exquisite fresh case is being narrated, emphasizing its microscopic pathology. The role of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, in particular, is highlighted to define the large variety of neurological abrasions for determining its future progression.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma of the mandibular region presenting as multiple discharging sinuses: imperative of magnetic resonance imaging and computerized tomography.

A 40-year-old woman presented with red swelling of the right mandibular region of the face. She had several painful, progressive, ulcerative, raised serosanguinous discharging sinuses. The presence of granules and bony contents were not reported.

Plexiform neurofibromas in neurofibromatosis type 1.

Plexiform neurofibroma developing in neurofibromatosis type 1 is a fascinating overture whereby diagnosis is primarily based on clinical characteristics, the details of which are outlined. Nonetheless, it is imperative to establish a clear-cut clinical status vis-á-vis the adjoining tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may provide an additional supplement to the diagnosis and an aid to further management of the condition.

Evaluation of plexiform neurofibroma in neurofibromatosis type 1 in 18 family members of 3 generations: ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging a diagnostic supplement.

Abstract Plexiform neurofibroma in neurofibromatosis type 1, an autosomal-dominant genetic disorder, is characterized by a combination of interlacing components or a network. The prominent enlargement of a nerve with tumor nodules results in the gross pathologic appearance termed "bag of worms." Plexiform neurofibroma was found in two of seven family members with neurofibromatosis type 1 in three generations.
