Computed tomography in the diagnosis of lymphangiomas in infants and children.

The computed tomographic features in 14 children (age range = 2 days to 10 years) with cystic hygromas of the neck and lymphangiomas of the chest, abdomen, and extremities were studied. Computed tomography can determine the morphology of these masses, their exact locations and their relationship to other organs. Most lymphangiomas appear as cystic masses of low attenuation value with or without septations. The septations may be thin or thick and result in a conglomerate of cysts of irregular borders, varying in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. Some of the septae show enhancement after a bolus injection of contrast material. Contrary to what has been reported, lymphangiomas may invade nearby tissues and organs.

CT diagnosis of rib anomalies, tumors, and infection in children.

The computed tomography (CT) findings of 3 patients with Ewing's sarcoma and 10 patients with a variety of benign rib lesions including osteomyelitis, hemangiomatosis, eosinophilic granuloma, aneurysmal bone cyst, neurofibromatosis, enchondroma, and Jarcho-Levin syndrome are presented. CT is of great value in demonstrating characteristic findings of several benign rib lesions. Also, CT accurately shows the destructive pattern of the rib lesion, the presence of pleural effusion, and the local spread of the soft tissue mass. When an aggressive rib lesion with pleural effusion is encountered in an infant or child, Ewing's sarcoma must be excluded unless this lesion has characteristic radiographic findings and a strong clinical history that suggest another diagnosis. The CT findings and differential diagnosis of rib lesions are discussed. Three-dimensional CT well demonstrated the appearance of congenital rib anomalies.

Computed tomography of rib hemangiomas.

Hemangiomas of the rib may have confusing plain film findings. These tumors may be single or multiple and may remain stable or increase in size. The CT examinations reveal an expanded cortex and bone destruction with irregular trabeculation. An adjacent soft tissue mass may be present but pleural fluid is characteristically absent.

CT appearance of nidus in osteoid osteoma versus sequestration in osteomyelitis.

Osteoid osteoma is a benign osteoblastic tumor usually diagnosed by conventional radiography. Computed tomography can be used preoperatively to localize the nidus and avoid unnecessary or misdirected resection. In this report CT appearance of the nidus in osteoid osteoma versus sequestration in osteomyelitis is presented.
