[Intralingual dermoid cyst: imaging features of a giant cyst].

Dermoid cysts of the oral cavity are rare and most commonly involve the floor of mouth. Intralingual dermoid cysts are extremely rare and usually large at the time of diagnosis in adult patients. We report the case of 6 year old girl with macroglossia and swallowing and respiratory difficulties due to a giant intralingual dermoid cyst. Ultrasonography showed a large cystic intralingual lesion. MRI allowed accurate evaluation of the size, the extension and the relationship of the cystic mass with adjacent structures, the fat component of the cystic mass confirmed the dermoid origin. This case illustrates the diagnostic contribution of US and MRI in this disease.

[Elastofibroma: imaging features].

Elastofibroma dorsi is a rare benign and slow growing fibro-proliferative lesion of unknown pathogenesis. It has a characteristic location (periscapular region) and a specific imaging appearance (songraphy, CT, MRI) allowing accurate prospective diagnosis. The recognition of this benign lesion avoids unnecessary biopsy and/or surgery. We report three cases of elastofibroma dorsi illustrating the characteristic features on sonography, CT and MRI. Involvement was bilateral in two cases.

[Mucocele of the appendix. Retrospective study of 10 cases].

PURPOSE: The purpose of our work was to assess the value of abdominal sonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) in the preoperative diagnosis of appendiceal mucocele. MATERIAL: and methods. We retrospectively reviewed 10 cases of mucocele of the appendix, 7 cases without pseudomyxoma peritonei, and 3 cases with pseudomyxoma peritonei. All cases were investigated radiologically by plain film and US, barium enema was performed in 3 cases and CT in 5 cases. RESULTS: Mucoceles of the appendix are rare and their clinical presentation is not specific. US confirms the appendicular involvement, but often poses the differential diagnosis with acute inflammation, abscess or localized appendicular peritonitis. CT appears as a mandatory examination since it allows accurate preoperative diagnosis period. In this series, the diagnosis was made preoperatively in the 5 cases where CT had been performed. CONCLUSION: US is useful to confirm the abnormal pattern of the appendix but does not allow accurate diagnosis of mucocele. CT is more specific and accurate for diagnosis of mucocele of the appendix.

Juvenile idiopathic chronic calcifying pancreatitis: report of 10 cases from central Tunisia.

A series of 10 cases of chronic calcifying pancreatitis from central Tunisia are reported. The mean age at presentation was 23 years and the male to female ratio was 1.5. The main clinical manifestations of the disease were abdominal pain (eight cases), weight loss (four cases), and diarrhea (three cases). Diabetes was recorded in four cases. The etiological investigations yielded negative results in all the patients. It is concluded that central Tunisia should be added to the regions where juvenile chronic calcifying pancreatitis of the "tropical type" may be observed.
