Calcifying odontogenic cyst.

Abstract

The calcifying odontogenic cyst may present some problems of differential diagnosis, both clinically and histopathologically. The present article reports the case of a calcifying odontogenic cyst in the maxilla of a 54-year-old woman. The histopathologic examination showed that structures characteristic of calcifying odontogenic cyst and odontogenic tumor of ameloblastoma-like appearance occurred simultaneously. The lesion was benign. After surgical removal of the cyst, the wound healed uneventfully and the region was free of symptoms 12 months postoperatively.

Calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis: sonographic findings with correlative imaging.

We report the sonographic appearance of a case of calcific myonecrosis and tenosynovitis with correlative plain radiography and CT findings. Calcific myonecrosis is a rare complication of previous trauma that presents as a tumor-like calcified mass years after an initial injury, most commonly affecting the anterior compartment of the lower leg. Although the clinical, radiographic, and MRI features of calcific myonecrosis have been well described, to our knowledge the sonographic appearance has not been reported previously in the literature.
