When soft tissues turn hard - ossifying soft tissue lesions.
Purpose or Case Report: The purpose of this educational exhibit is to illustrate the radiological appearance of various ossified soft tissue lesions. The differential diagnosis is wide, with entities ranging from benign to malignant. Using instructive and interesting cases encountered at our department, this presentation will outline an approach to forming a differential diagnosis. Various teaching points will be highlighted. Pathological correlation will be included where available.
The cases to be presented include: Myositis ossificans Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva Tenosynovial osteochondromatosis Dysplasia Epiphysealis Hemimelica Pseudohypoparathyroidism - Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy Phlebolith in a vascular malformation Pilomatrixoma Heterotopic ossification Synovial Sarcoma
This presentation will highlight the distinguishing imaging characteristics of each entity and help narrow the differential diagnosis for a radiologist when faced with a pediatric ossified soft tissue lesion. Methods & Materials: Results: Conclusions:
