fa Imaging findings of benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor in jaw رادیولوژی دهان، فک و صورت Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Objective </strong></p><p> The aim of this study was to investigate the imaging characteristics of peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNSTs) in the jaw. </p><p> <strong>Study design</strong></p><p>  Imaging studies of 6 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Conventional radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were performed in all patients.</p><p> <strong> Results</strong></p><p>  A fusiform lesion continuous with the nerve was observed in 2 cases, with the tumor arising within the inferior alveolar canal. In the other 4 cases, with the tumor arising outside the canal, the tumor had protruded and eroded into the bone. Protrusion was also present in 1 of the 2 cases, with the tumor arising within the canal. A target or fascicular sign was observed each in 1 case. </p><p> <strong>Conclusions</strong></p><p>  A fusiform lesion continuous with the nerve and a target or fascicular sign was only present in a few cases. The PNSTs, however, showed a tendency to protrude into the bone. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology </p><p><a href="http://www.oooojournal.net/article/S2212-4403(13)00330-1/abstract" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff"> Full Text</font></a></p> 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-1717&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Akiko Imaizumi 10031947532846008080 10031947532846008080 Yes Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan Sayaka Kodama 10031947532846008081 10031947532846008081 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan Junichiro Sakamato 10031947532846008082 10031947532846008082 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan Yoshinori Sasaki 10031947532846008083 10031947532846008083 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan Mika Otonari-Yamamoto 10031947532846008084 10031947532846008084 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan Ami Kuribayashi 10031947532846008085 10031947532846008085 No Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Graduate School, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan Tohru Kurabayashi 10031947532846008086 10031947532846008086 No Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Graduate School, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Tokyo, Japan Tsukasa Sano 10031947532846008087 10031947532846008087 No Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Tokyo Dental College, Chiba, Japan
