AbstractObjective:We describe a rare case of an ectopic submandibular gland associated with atrophy of the ipsilateral floor of the mouth muscles.Method:Case report and review of the world literature regarding ectopic submandibular glands.Results:The reported patient had an ectopic submandibular gland associated with atrophy of the ipsilateral anterior digastric and mylohyoid muscles. This implies maldevelopment of these muscles in the floor of the mouth and arrest of the normal migration of the submandibular gland. The condition was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging and conventional submandibular gland sialography.Conclusion:Submandibular gland ectopia in the floor of the mouth is a rare phenomenon. The described case represents the first report of an ectopic submandibular gland associated with atrophy of the ipsilateral floor of the mouth muscles. Radiologists and clinicians should familiarise themselves with this entity and its imaging findings, in order to prevent unnecessary biopsy of this benign condition.

Abstract A rare case of a radiolucent osteoma of the skull is reported. The radiological and pathological findings of this lesion, including magnetic resonance imaging findings, are presented, and the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of this skull tumor is evaluated. The differential diagnosis of radiolucent bone tumors is discussed.

Benign Condition

Synovial chondromatosis is a benign condition characterized by synovial proliferation and metaplasia, with development of cartilaginous or osteocartilaginous nodules within a joint, bursa or tendon sheath. In the shoulder, synovial osteochondromatosis may occur within the glenohumeral joint and its recesses (including the tendon sheath of the biceps long head), and in the subacromial-deltoid bursa. Such condition can be identified either by radiography, ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging, showing typical features according to each method. Radiography commonly shows ring-shaped calcified cartilages and periarticular soft tissues swelling with erosion of joint margins. Ultrasonography demonstrates hypoechogenic cartilaginous nodules with progressive increase in echogenicity as they become calcified, with development of posterior acoustic shadow in case of ossification. Besides identifying cartilaginous nodules, magnetic resonance imaging can also demonstrate the degree of synovial proliferation. The present study is aimed at describing the imaging findings of this entity in the shoulder.

Osteomas of the internal auditory canal are rare lesions, with only 12 reported cases in the world literature. Symptoms are those of eighth nerve compression, and include unilateral hearing loss and vestibular weakness, thus mimicking symptoms of acoustic neuroma. We report a patient with an osteoma of the internal auditory canal, along with a review of the literature. We note age and sex characteristics from the literature, give evidence of localized trauma as a possible etiologic factor for this lesion, and discuss the pitfalls of relying exclusively on magnetic resonance imaging in the workup of suspected retrocochlear lesions.

Renal lymphangiectasia is a rare benign condition of the kidney without specific clinical presentations. Classic imaging findings are described in literature. Here, we present a case of renal lymphangiectasia with history of bilateral flank pain and abnormal renal function tests. The radiological appearance on ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) showed features of bilateral renal lymphangiectasia but the patient refused invasive procedure for aspiration of the cysts. So, follow-up of the patient was done by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Imaging findings of our case on US, CT, and MRI are discussed along with details of the additional finding of dilated retroperitoneal lymphatic channels, cisterna chyli, as well as the thoracic duct.
