ABSTRACT: Liponeurocytoma (lipomatous medulloblastoma) is a rarely and recently described tumor. We report an additional case of this uncommon lesion in an adult and we describe its clinical, radiological and histological features. A 45-year-old woman presented with symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure and cerebellar dysfunction. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans showed a heterogenous poorly circumscribed mass situated within the cerebellar vermis. After complete tumour resection, pathologic examination with immunohistochemical study confirmed the diagnosis. The postoperative course after 18months was favorable with no evidence of tumor recurrence.

ABSTRACT: Desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma is a rare intracranial tumor of infancy, characterized by solid and cystic component, voluminous size and supratentorial location. These tumors are diagnosed usually below the age of 2 years. We report 1 case of desmoplastic ganglioglioma in 13-year-old male. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging diagnosed supratentorial mixed cystic and solid tumor, which presented as a large cystic component with intense contrast enhancement of a mural nodule. The tumor was surgically removed, and histology revealed desmoplastic ganglioglioma. The patient had a good follow up. This observation emphasizes the possibility of desmoplastic ganglioglioma in older infants. It mustn't be considered as a specific entity of very young age infant and must be recognized in older infant because it may be misdiagnosed as malignant glioma. Despite the pseudo malignant appearance, these tumors have a good prognosis after surgery and when excision is complete they don't led to recurrences.

ABSTRACT: Hydatidosis of bone is rare. Vertebral localizations predominate. Standard imaging may be misleading, suggestive of a malignant tumor or infection. We present the case of a patient with a humeral hydatid. This localization is very rare and presents an unusual radiographic aspect. Computed tomography produces an image suggestive of a tumor. The correct diagnosis can be established with MRI, particularly with the STIR sequence. In our patient, MRI enabled us to establish the diagnosis preoperatively and evaluate extension. MRI has been found to be highly contributive to the diagnosis of hydatidosis of bone and for assessment of intra- and peri-osseous extension.

ABSTRACT: Four cases of cystic meningioma are reported, and the imaging features and diagnostic pitfalls of cystic meningiomas are reviewed. Cystic meningiomas are infrequent tumors and remain difficult to diagnose in spite of advanced imaging techniques. Our patients were between 15 and 58 years of age, and underwent CT and MR imaging. In all the four cases, the meningiomas were supratentorial and included Nauta type I, type II and type III tumors.

ABSTRACT: The authors report a case of mesenteric tuberculous lymphadenitis which mimic a pancreatic cystadenoma. They emphasize ultrasound and CT scan features which lead to the recognition of tuberculosis and permit a percutaneous fine needle biopsy. Laparotomy seems the most reliable method for a positive diagnosis. The place of different imaging methods is discussed.
