AbstractThe male breast can be afflicted with a wide spectrum of benign and malignant masses, similar to the female breast. A systematic radiological evaluation using mammography, ultrasonography, and when appropriate, magnetic resonance imaging, could aid this differentiation and provide clues to the diagnosis. In this article, we present six cases of male breast masses with an emphasis on the role of imaging in characterization and diagnosis.

AbstractThere are very limited reports of aplasia of bilateral submandibular glands. We report the case of a 55-year-old male who presented with nontender palpable sublingual masses. On computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, bilateral submandibular gland aplasia and compensatory hypertrophy of bilateral parotid and sublingual glands were seen with herniation of hypertrophied sublingual glands through the bilateral mylohyoid muscles presenting as palpable sublingual region masses. Additional finding of bilateral accessory parotid glands was also noted. Prolapsed hypertrophied sublingual glands should be considered in patients presenting with bilateral sublingual masses to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures. We suggest radiological evaluation of such cases prior to any intervention.

Imaging Evaluation

Abstract Background Tinnitus is a common condition presenting to the ENT out-patient clinic. Vestibular schwannomas are benign cerebellopontine angle tumours that usually present with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Magnetic resonance imaging of the internal auditory meatus is the definitive investigation in their detection. The current recommendation is for unilateral tinnitus patients to undergo magnetic resonance imaging of the internal auditory meatus to exclude vestibular schwannoma. Objective To evaluate magnetic resonance imaging in the investigation of patients with unilateral non-pulsatile tinnitus without asymmetrical hearing loss. Method A retrospective case series was conducted of all patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging of the internal auditory meatus to investigate unilateral non-pulsatile tinnitus without asymmetrical hearing loss, from 1 January 2014 to 1 January 2019. Results Of 2066 scans, 566 (27 per cent) were performed to investigate patients (335 female, 231 male) with unilateral non-pulsatile tinnitus without asymmetrical hearing loss. Three vestibular schwannomas were detected on imaging, and 134 incidental findings were discovered. Conclusion The detection rate of vestibular schwannoma in this group was just 0.3 per cent. This paper questions the utility of magnetic resonance imaging evaluation in these patients.
