[Computed tomography in imaging in maxillofacial surgery].

Abstract

The improved definition and good visualization of soft tissues provided by high resolution computed tomography imaging greatly exceeds results of conventional tomography investigations. It is irreplaceable for tumoral lesions, particularly of the facial region, when not only the tumor but its degree of extension are perfectly identified. In orbital injuries it is the only imaging procedure capable of visualizing the orbital contents and its relation with the fracture line.

PET in face and neck tumours.

FDG-PET is a useful tool in the imaging of head and neck tumours. It can be used to stage the primary tumour, to assess response to therapy and most importantly for the detection of recurrent tumour. The advantages and limitations of this technique are discussed in this article.

Malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.

Trichoblastoma is an uncommon benign cutaneous neoplasm of the hair germ cell. The pigmented variety of the tumor is rare. There have only been a few case reports describing the malignant counterpart of trichoblastoma. There are no reports describing a pigmented variety of malignant trichoblastoma. We are presenting a case report of a 47-year-old patient with malignant trichoblastoma containing melanin deposits and propose to define this variety of the tumor as a separate entity: malignant melanocytic trichoblastoma.
