Aryepiglottic Fold and Subcutaneous Metastases From Breast Carcinoma
(Assoc Royal Soc Scientifiques Medicales Belges, 2009) Avcu, S.; Izmirli, M.; Ozcan, H. Nursun; Sengul, I.; Lemmerling, M.
We report the CT findings in a 77-year-old woman with left-sided aryepiglottic fold metastasis from breast cancer diagnosed 7 years previously. The lesion obliterated the left piriform sinus, had a lobulated contour and showed mild and heterogeneous enhancement on a post-contrast CT examination. Biopsy of the lesion revealed metastasis from poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, compatible with metastasis of the breast carcinoma. Before detection of the laryngeal lesion, a second primary tumor in the right ovary was diagnosed. After right oopherectomy, histopathology revealed clear cell adenocarcinoma. The patient also had multiple subcutaneous metastases and bilateral cervical lymphadenopathies. Chemotherapy was applied to the patient.

Introduction We report the CT and MR findings in a 30-year-old man with extraskeletal Ewing sarcoma (EES) involving the left neural foramen at L5-S1 level. Materials and methods The patient was evaluated with preoperative lumbosacral CT and MR imaging and postoperative lumbosacral MR imaging. Results The lesion was hyperdense on CT, isointense on T1- and T2-weighted MR images, and enhanced homogeneously after intravenous gadolinium injection. With these CT and MR findings, surgery was performed with a presumptive diagnosis of nerve sheath tumor, but the histopathological examination revealed EES. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were planned postoperatively. Conclusion This case illustrates that even in benign looking lesions in a neuroforamen one can never exclude malignancy, and this is even more true in a population of young adults.
