Abstract Review of 70 children presenting with a solitary nontraumatic lump on the head revealed that 61% ofthe lesions were dermoid tumor, 9% were cephalhematoma deformans, 1% were eosinophilic granuloma, and 4% were occult menin goceles and encephaloceles. Most of the dermoid cysts occurred along sutural lines, but some did not. One of the eosinophilic granulomas was located over the sagittal suture. Seventeen per cent of the “lumps” had significant intracranial extension. An additional 20% of the lumps extended intracranially, but only to the dura mater. Work-up of these lesions should include initial plain skull roentgenograms to assess multiplicity and appropriate computed tomographic scans to assess possible intracranial extension.

Abstract The authors describe a case of a giant intradiploic epidermoid cyst of the occipital bone with an intracranial extension in the posterior fossa and no signs of neurological involvement. The lesion started as a painless lump under the scalp. Roentgenographic and computed tomographic findings led to a correct diagnosis, and the complete removal of the cyst was accomplished, despite its large size. The total removal of these cysts is associated with a good prognosis.

Fungal infections affecting the central nervous system are rare. The purpose of this study was to describe clinical and imaging findings in dogs with intracranial blastomycosis (Blastomyces dermatiditis). The radiology database was searched retrospectively for patients with a diagnosis of intracranial blastomycosis which had computed tomography performed as part of their diagnostic work-up. Medical records and imaging studies were reviewed. Five dogs met the inclusion criteria. Major presenting complaints were stertor/nasal discharge (n=2), exophthalmos (n=1), and seizures (n=2). Clinical and laboratory findings were variable. Computed tomographic examination revealed a single contrast-enhancing intra-axial mass (n=1), a nasal mass disrupting the cribriform plate (n=3), and an intracranial mass extending into the orbit and nasal cavity (n=1). Findings in intracranial blastomycosis in dogs are variable, and the disease may mimic other inflammatory disorders or neoplasia.

SummaryAn eight-month-old mixed-breed dog was presented with a history of sudden onset pelvic limb lameness. Radiographic and computed tomographic examinations demonstrated an osteolytic process involving the lumbar spine and pelvis. A comprehensive work-up including serial radiographic skeletal survey, biopsy, routine laboratory investigation and evaluation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels failed to reveal any underlying cause for the osteolysis. Conservative treatment using the bisphosphonate drug alendronate and oral analgesic medications resulted in a return to nearly normal long-term function, despite massive lumbar and pelvic osteolysis. The clinical, radiological and histopathological features in this dog are reported, and similarities with the human condition known as Gorham’s disease are discussed.
