PurposePatterns of orbital lymphoma at diagnosis and follow-up are described. We also discuss differential diagnosis of orbital masses.Materials and methodsThis pictorial review contains 19 cases of orbital lymphoma before and after treatment. Superior-lateral quadrant and extra-conal location were observed predominantly. Effective response after treatment was presented on follow-up imaging, although few local relapses were found. Further follow-up showed no changes of residual images.DiscussionLocation of orbital masses can help in the differential diagnosis. Moreover, imaging features of lymphoma at diagnosis can be useful in planning surgical biopsy. Pattern of follow-up described may be relevant on monitoring imaging.Teaching points• Orbital lymphoma involves mainly superior-lateral quadrant and the orbital structures inside.• Location of retrobulbar mass-like lesions are useful information in the differential diagnosis.• Satisfactory response is detected after treatment, however relapse is noted, so follow-up is needed.
• (1) H-MRS can be used to reinforce the diagnostic suspicion of PCNSL. • Lipids can be used to discriminate between PCNSL and GB/MET. • Myo-inositol resonance can be used to discriminate between PCNSL and astrocytomas.
We report a case of MFH of the mandible in a 16-year-old girl. The mandible is a rare location of MFH of bone, with only 21 cases described in the literature. Clinical, pathologic, and radiologic features are discussed, with special emphasis on the unusual pathologic and radiographic features.
Amyloidomas involving bone are rare. The 67-year-old man reported here had a large amyloidoma of the left frontal, parietal, sphenoid (greater wing) and temporal bones causing neural compression. Plain radiographs CT and MRI are shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
