| Case ID: 13276 | :: - Thumbnails :: | |
| Diagnosis | Inflammatory Pseudotumor, myofibroblastic tumor | |
| History | 58 yo Caucasian male with a 30+ pack-year history of smoking presented with 3 month history of headaches, night sweats, and intentional weight loss. The patient’s headaches were described as dull, but not debilitating and radiated from the posterior neck and radiated to the top of the head. The headaches were not relieved by over the counter medications, and did not interfere with sleep and were not associated with nausea and vomiting. Pt also denied any other neurological symptoms. The patient stated that he had night sweats that occurred every night that soaked his shirt. His weight loss was attributed to significant dietary changes and increase in exercise, with no exercise intolerance. The patient’s medical history was significant for multiple squamous cell carcinomas on the upper extremities and is followed regularly by dermatology. | |
| Findings | Radiograph: CXR images show evidence of abnormal opacification in the right upper lobe. There is evidence of volume loss with elevation of the right hilum. No pleural effusions are seen. CT: consolidation and nodules are noted in the anterior segment of the right upper lobe with a probable central superior right hilar obstructing lesions, which appears to partially invade the right mainstem bronchus. Also noted is a left adrenal nodule. | |
| Differential Dx | Pneumonia (infectious, inflammatory) Malignancy - bronchiogenic carcinoma - atypical carcinoid tumor - endobronchial metastatic disease (melanoma, colon cancer, HCC) - Lymphoma - Myofibroblastic tumor Pulmonary vasculitis with hematoma Aspirated foreign body with obstruction | |

| Diagnosis | Pseudotumor Cerebri w/ right transverse sinus stenosis | |
| History | 26 y.o. obese woman with a Hx of persistent and disabling (8/10) global headache and a recent onset of blurred vision | |
| Findings | • MR Venogram (MRV) showing right transverse sinus stenosis, proximal to the sigmoid sinus and interntal jugular vein (IJV) junction. • Cerebral catheter arteriogram & venography demonstrate a high-grade right transverse-sigmoid sinus stenosis, distal to the vein of Labbe connection. The stenosis was estimated as at least 80% narrowing, to an approximate diameter of 1mm with a pressure gradient across the stenosis of 13 mmHg. • Neurointerventional radiology endovascular procedure was successful with a balloon angioplasty and stent placement across the stenosis in the right transverse sinus. | |
| Differential Dx | • Obstruction of venous outflow, eg, venous sinus stenosis/thrombosis, jugular vein compression • Pseudotumor Cerebri (idiopathic intracranial hypertension) • Decreased CSF absorption (i.e. arachnoid granulation) • Increased cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production (i.e. choroid plexus papilloma) • Intracranial mass lesions (tumor, abscess) • Obstructive hydrocephalus | |

| Diagnosis | Retroodontoid Pseudotumor | |
| History | 62 year old male who sustained a fall complaining of head and neck pain. | |
| Findings | The image findings with retroodontoid Pseudotumor vary based on the underlying disease process, but should all have common elements. Namely, this is an extradural lesion based around the atlantoaxial joint or its associated ligaments. Therefore, smooth mass effect typically extending posterior from the joint impressing upon the thecal sac and potentially the spine or brainstem is identified. More specific imaging features are related to the underlying pathologic process. | |

| Diagnosis | Fluid Pseudotumor (Interlobar effusion) | |
| History | 70 year old woman with complaint of increasing shortness of breath. | |
| Findings | Right thoracotomy tube. Opacity along the right hemidiaphragm, and within the right costophrenic angle, right oblique and horizontal fissures, consistent with large right pleural effusion with fluid in fissures. Elongated, calcified aorta. Dextroscoliosis. Old sternal fracture. Deformed right humeral head, sclerotic changes of the glenoid, and sclerotic changes of the right clavicle, likely secondary to known history of radiation treatment. Streaking densities within the right upper lobe consistent with fibrosis. Linear and band-like opacities withing the right lower lung consistent with plate-like atelectasis versus scar. Several small calcifications within the right lung consistent with old granulomatous disease. | |

| Diagnosis | Pseudotumor of right minor fissure. | |
