“…T1-weighted spin-echo sequences [T1WI: repetition time (TR)/echo time (TE) = 660-700/ [12][13][14][15] and T2-weighted fast-spin-echo with a fat-suppression technique (T2WI: TR/TE = 2600-4011/90) were obtained before administration of the contrast material. An air signal was interpreted as having low signal intensity (SI) on T1WI, whereas muscle was considered to have intermediate SI on T1WI, and cerebrospinal fluid was considered to have high SI on T2WI.…”

Objectives. Various types of lesion have been reported in the submental region, but submental masses can be difficult to diagnose. Our objective was to attempt to diagnose submental masses by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) along with clinical data. Methods. We attempted to diagnose seven cases in which the chief complaint was submental swelling; diagnosis was carried out on the basis of features visualized by MRI. Results. Seven types of lesions were observed: phlegmone and abscess caused by osteomyelitis; epidermoid cyst; thyroglossal duct cyst; abscess-forming granulomatous lymphadenitis; T-cell lymphoma (suspected Hodgkin's disease); non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma; and lymph node metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma in the tongue. Conclusions. The magnetic resonance images of each lesion revealed characteristic features. Thus, MRI may be useful for the differential diagnosis of submental swelling before the initiation of treatment.

“…Various types of lesion of the submental regions have been reported, including inflammatory lesions, 1-3 cysts, 4-11 benign neoplasms, [12][13][14] lymphoid hyperplasias, 15,16 and malignant neoplasms. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] It can be difficult to distinguish between such lesions, because they all present as swellings or masses.…”
