Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of benign trichilemmal cysts and proliferating trichilemmal tumours. Methods Nineteen histologically confirmed cutaneous lesions with trichilemmal keratinisation (12 trichilemmal cysts and seven proliferating trichilemmal tumours) were enrolled. Among them, 10 lesions (six trichilemmal cysts and four proliferating trichilemmal tumours) were examined by computed tomography, while 13 lesions (eight trichilemmal cysts and five proliferating trichilemmal tumours) were examined by magnetic resonance imaging. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging characteristics were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Sixteen lesions (84%, 10 trichilemmal cysts and six proliferating trichilemmal tumours) occurred on the scalp. Lobulated margins were observed in five lesions (26%, three trichilemmal cysts and two proliferating trichilemmal tumours). With respect to computed tomography attenuation, calcification (>200 Hounsfield units) was observed in seven lesions (70%, five trichilemmal cysts and two proliferating trichilemmal tumours), hyperdense areas (≥80 and ≤200 Hounsfield units) in six (60%, three trichilemmal cysts and three proliferating trichilemmal tumours), and soft tissue density areas (<80 Hounsfield units) in nine (90%, five trichilemmal cysts and four proliferating trichilemmal tumours). On T1-weighted images, intratumoral hyperintensity was only observed in eight trichilemmal cysts but no proliferating trichilemmal tumours (100% vs. 0%, P<0.01). On T2-weighted images, hypointense rim and intratumoral hypointensity was observed in all 13 lesions (100%, eight trichilemmal cysts and five proliferating trichilemmal tumours), and linear or reticular hypointensity was observed in 10 (77%, six trichilemmal cysts and four proliferating trichilemmal tumours). Conclusion Trichilemmal cysts and proliferating trichilemmal tumours predominantly occurred on the scalp with calcification, and usually exhibited linear or reticular T2 hypointensity. Intratumoral T1 hyperintensity may be a useful imaging feature for differentiating trichilemmal cysts from proliferating trichilemmal tumours.

Pictorial Essay

Abstract The recent association between the increase in the number of neonates with microcephaly in northeastern Brazil and the outbreak of infection with the Zika virus, which has been occurring in the Americas, has been declared a public health emergency of international concern. The evidence that implicates the virus as the cause of this public health emergency has been demonstrated ever more consistently. This pictorial essay illustrates the imaging characteristics seen on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans of infants admitted to a rehabilitation hospital with a diagnosis of microcephaly and a maternal history of rash during pregnancy.

Imaging Characteristics

The first imaging modality in patients suspected of distal radioulnar joint pathology should be conventional radiography to exclude or diagnose wrist pathology including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, (healed) fractures, or impaction syndromes. When conventional radiography is inconclusive, high resolution 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging is advised. We provide a broad overview of the literature regarding the use of intra-articular contrast both with computed tomography (CTA) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRA). Conventional arthrography and unenhanced computed tomography are not indicated. This article discusses the most useful imaging techniques in terms of clinical indications, patient positioning, technical imaging requirements, and diagnostic performance in patients with suspected distal radioulnar joint pathology. Furthermore, the most prevalent pathologies are discussed, with the focus on imaging characteristics in both stable and unstable distal radioulnar joints.
