Imaging approach for jaw and maxillofacial bone tumors with updates from the 2022 World Health Organization classification.

Jaw and maxillofacial bone lesions encompass a wide variety of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies. These lesions can arise from various tissues, including bone, cartilage, and soft tissue, each presenting distinct challenges in diagnosis and treatment. While some pathologies exhibit characteristic imaging features that aid in diagnosis, many others are nonspecific.

Delayed diagnosis of palatal adenoid cystic carcinoma: Review of diagnostic workup and image features of perineural spread.

Objectives: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is the malignancy most likely to spread perineurally. Delayed diagnosis often leads to undetected perineural spread (PNS). Better understanding of diagnostic processes, clinical and imaging features in ACC may allow earlier diagnoses.

Orbital neoplasms in adults: clinical, radiologic, and pathologic review.

Orbital neoplasms in adults may be categorized on the basis of location and histologic type. Imaging features of these lesions often reflect their tissue composition. Cavernous malformations (also known as cavernous hemangiomas), although not true neoplasms, are the most common benign adult orbital tumor.
