A Case Report on Acanthomatous Ameloblastoma of the Anterior Mandible with Brief Review on Advanced Imaging Diagnosis

AbstractAmeloblastoma is the most common benign odontogenic tumor of epithelial origin. It exhibits a locally aggressive behavior and high recurrence rate with multitude of factors involving in its molecular pathogenesis. This article reports a case of acanthomatous ameloblastoma involving the mandible in a 60-year-old male patient with peculiar imaging characteristics. The role of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of conventional ameloblastoma has been elaborately emphasized in the discussion. Although the final diagnosis is based on histopathological features, physicians should be aware of the role of advanced imaging for diagnosis of ameloblastoma and for better surgical management.

Myofibroblastoma of the breast (MFB) is a very rare benign stromal tumor. In recent years, increase in mammographic screenings has resulted in increased diagnosis of MFB. Most cases are old males and postmenopausal women. MFB may be confused as malignant, clinically, morphologically, or by imaging. Immunohistochemistry is essential for final diagnosis in these cases. We report a case of a pathologically diagnosed MFB in an 80-year-old male patient who had coexisting prostate cancer and describe its imaging characteristics, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this paper, histopathological and MRI findings of the MFB were discussed.

Acute Pelvic Pain

AIM: The aim of this study was to assess the emerging role of magnetic resonance imaging in the gynaecological emergencies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Methods: Twenty nine non pregnant female patients with acute pelvic pain or bleeding per vagina who underwent MRI pelvis at our imaging department between November 2019 and August 2020 were reviewed. The final diagnosis was established by surgical findings in 16 cases, & biopsy in 1 respectively. The remaining 11 cases underwent follow-up MRI. Results: MRI was diagnostic in 28 (95.5%) out of 29 patients and non-diagnostic in 1 case. The commonest gynaecological emergency was ovarian cyst with complications. Imaging findings in 16 (55.2%) patients were correlated with surgery . The overall sensitivity and PPV of MRI in acute gynaecological conditions was 95.6% and 98.2%.
