“…The interspersed strands usually existed in a parallel fashion, or even in a whirling appearance as in our cases [10, 12–15, 18, 24]. For some cases, the adipose or the fibrous tissue might aggregate at the local area in the lesion [19–22].…”

“…Because of the rarity of FHI, the radiologic findings of FHI have not been sufficiently investigated in the literature. On PubMed search, we found FHI-related 132 papers in which only 14 cases have detailed clinical and radiologic findings to allow an in-depth imaging analysis (Table 1) [8–10, 12–22]. Of the 16 cases of FHI, including our 2 cases, there were 9 cases undergoing X-ray imaging.…”

“…According to the proportion of the different intensities similar to that of fatty tissue or muscle on CT or MR imaging, the authors classified the lesions as the balanced type or non-balanced type. In the balanced type, the proportion of the two components was basically equal [12–15, 19–22]. In the non-balanced type, however, it was not equal at all, with one of them being predominant and the other one subordinate [5, 8–10, 16–18, 23, 26].…”

Background Fibrous hamartoma of infancy(FHI) is a rare benign lesion most frequently occurring within the first year of life. So far, just over 200 cases have been reported in the English literature, in which the radiologic findings of FHI have not been fully described. Herein, 2 adult cases of FHI receiving treatment in our hospital and the published cases searched on PubMed are reviewed, with the emphasis on the discussion of the spectrum of MR findings and their histologic correlation. Case presentation We present two adult cases who aged 47 years and 19 years with slow growing masses beginning from their childhood in the posterior craniocervical area. On CT and MR imaging, the tumours showed as the superficially located lesions with ill-defined margins that involved the subcutaneous layer and its underlying muscles. The size of the lesions were 21.3 × 16.7 × 16 cm in case 1 and 20.2 × 19.3 × 13.6 cm in case 2. The tumours demonstrated heterogeneous intensities/signals with the adipose tissue presenting as the disperse strands or small focus of fatty intensity/signal. Parallel or whirling appearance, and dilated vessels were delineated in the cases. Contrast enhancement was administered in case 1 and marked enhancement was found. Conclusions The usually observed manifestation of FHI on CT and/or MR imaging is the strands of adipose/fibrous intensities traversing the lesions, with the characteristic parallel or whirling appearance in some cases. The tumours with ill-defined margins have the tendency to involve the underlying muscles. Some fibroblastic and adipocytic tumours should be ruled out in differential diagnosis.

“…Imaging tests have recently been the focus of studies in the radiology literature (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35) . Although there have been several studies on the radiological imaging of childhood tuberculosis, our study is comparable only to those that have used CT and have involved patients in the same age group.…”

Radiological aspects in computed tomography as determinants in the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in immunocompetent infants

et al. 2019

Objective: To describe the chest computed tomography (CT) findings in immunocompetent children under 36 months of age with pulmonary tuberculosis. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive case series conducted in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between January 2004 and July 2013, involving 20 young children who underwent CT after undergoing chest X-rays that did not provide a definitive diagnosis. Results: All of the participants had lymph node enlargement and consolidations. In 15 cases (75%), the consolidations were accompanied by atelectasis. Pulmonary cavitation was seen in 10 cases (50%), and cavitation within consolidations was seen in 7 (35%). The areas of cavitation and parenchymal destruction were not seen on conventional chest X-rays. Conclusion: The radiological presentation of pulmonary tuberculosis in young children differs from that described in older children and adults. CT is an effective method for the early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis in immunocompetent infants, allowing the rapid institution of specific treatment, which is crucial for halting disease progression, as well as for preventing local and systemic complications.
