Radiographic, CT, and MRI findings in primary pulmonary angiosarcoma.

We report a rare instance of primary pulmonary angiosarcoma presenting as a large solitary mass in the left upper lobe with mediastinal invasion. In particular, we emphasize the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging features, which included a markedly heterogeneous pattern consisting of hyperintense areas scattered throughout a background of intermediate signal intensity, rendering the lesion a cauliflower-like appearance especially on T2-weighted images. Being unreported so far in primary pulmonary angiosarcomas, these distinct MR imaging findings may be helpful in the differentiation of these neoplasms from lung cancers.

Gadolinium-enhanced three-dimensional MR angiography in jugular phlebectasia and aneurysm.

True jugular vein aneurysms and phlebectasias are very rare abnormalities, which are usually discovered in children. Though their ultrasonographic features have been well described, magnetic resonance angiographic appearance of these lesions has not been reported in the radiology literature. We describe gadolinium-enhanced MR angiographic findings in two patients with internal jugular vein phlebectasia and one patient with anterior jugular vein aneurysm. The jugular venous system and its abnormalities were successfully depicted in the coronal plane, much like the images of coronal angiography.

Frontal sinus mucocele: a rare complication of craniofacial fibrous dysplasia.

We present plain radiographic, computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in a 25-year-old female patient with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (FD). Although FD has a tendency to involve craniofacial bones in a unilateral fashion, the involvement was bilateral and extensive in this case. An additional feature was the presence of a frontal sinus mucocele, presumably due to the involvement of the sinus recess by the dysplastic process. This complication of the craniofacial FD has been reported very infrequently in the literature.
