chondroma/edema

Primary tumors of the heart are rare entities, substantially less frequent than cardiac metastases. Primary chondroma is an exceptionally rare cardiac tumor. We describe the case of a patient presenting with acute pulmonary edema with the incidental echocardiographic finding of a large left atrial

OBJECTIVE Enchondromas are benign lesions that may present with nonspecific features on imaging in children. Correlation of histology with imaging findings is often required to make the final diagnosis of a benign lesion. The aim of this study was to review imaging and pathological findings of

BACKGROUND Juxtacortical chondroma is a rare benign bone lesion in children. Children usually present with a mildly painful mass, which prompts diagnostic imaging studies. The rarity of this condition often presents a diagnostic challenge. Correct diagnosis is crucial in guiding surgical

Intracranial chondromas are rare benign tumors. Little data are available on the diagnosis and treatment of these tumors. Thus, we aimed to describe a large series of patients with intracranial chondroma and to analyze and discuss the clinical features and microsurgical treatment of these patients.

Intradural convexity chondromas are slow-growing tumors of young adults and children. Their symptoms are due to their size and degree of mass effect. They are extra-axial, avascular masses without peritumoral edema. CT and magnetic resonance resonance imaging of the head and cerebral angiography are

The present study is a review of 20 patients with enchondroma of the foot treated from January 2005 to March 2012. All patients were examined clinically, followed by an evaluation of their enchondroma of the foot radiographically and an assessment of the outcome of their surgical intervention. The

Background Soft-tissue chondroma (STC) is a rare benign soft tissue tumor that arises primarily in acral extra-skeletal locations. Occasionally, STCs may arise in more proximal non-acral locations, accompanied by non-classic features that label them as indeterminate lesions and pose diagnostic

We report on the clinical, histologic, and radiologic features - including CT and MRI - of extraskeletal chondroma in a rare case of diffuse calcification of the chondroid matrix. T2-weighted MR imaging showed a well-demarcated mass of low signal intensity in the left flexor digitalis profundus,

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the MR characteristics of periosteal chondroma. METHODS MR images of 12 proven cases of periosteal chondroma were analyzed with reference to tumor morphology and size. MR features were correlated with radiographic and pathologic

OBJECTIVE To present magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of the regression or progression of chondroid tumors and to investigate whether MRI can be used to predict the evolution of chondroid tumors. METHODS Twenty-one patients with enchondromas or atypical cartilaginous tumors who had

Diagnostic methodology for bone and soft tissue tumors has made great strides recently through the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here we report a comparative assessment of the histological findings of bone and soft tissue tumors with MRI from 212 cases. The accuracy of a

High-resolution 2-mm thick sequential CT scans of 23 patients with primary laryngeal carcinoma were reviewed to judge the value of CT in early tumor detection and the ability of CT to establish tumor extent reliably, particularly early cartilage invasion. False-negative results were likely when

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether the imaging features of periosteal chondroid tumors correlate with histopathology. METHODS Twenty-two patients (nine women and 13 men; mean age, 33 years) with pathologically proven periosteal chondroid lesions were retrospectively

The scaphoid bone of the wrist is one of the most commonly fractured bones in the body. Due to its importance in the biomechanics and functionality of the wrist, it is important to depict and characterize the type of injury. Plain radiographs and scintigraphy may fail to disclose the type and
