Abstract:
OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the characteristic features of CT images of diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor (D-TSGCT) from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to understand CT imaging diagnosis of the disease.
METHODSCT images and clinical information from 10 patients with D-TSGCT of TMJ were recruited for retrospective analysis from March 2013 to March 2017 in Peking University Hospital of Stomatology. All cases were treated by surgery and confirmed by pathology.
RESULTSCT scan demonstrated hyperdense soft-tissue masses and various kinds of calcification in all of the 10 subjects. Contrast-enhanced scan exhibited obvious enhancement in six patients. Bone destruction of the mandibular condyles and skull base was found in seven and six subjects, respectively.
CONCLUSIONSCT appearance of D-TSGCT of the TMJ is characterized by hyperdense soft tissue with calcification, further enhancement in contrast-enhanced scan, and bone destruction in the mandibular condyles and skull base in some cases.
