Imaging in lingual abscess: a case report

2024 , Oscar Campos , Ricardo Aris , Francisca Santorcuato , WHITTLE PINTO, CAROLINA , Liberto Figueroa , Pedro Pedregal

Abstract Background Lingual abscess corresponds to an infection that manifests itself as a painful swelling in the tongue with purulent material inside. This is a rare entity and the information available in the literature is limited and based on clinical case reports. Therefore, the diagnosis, etiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment are not fully defined. Case presentation The aim of this work was to describe the imaging of a case of lingual abscess, focusing on imaging evaluation using ultrasound and computed tomography (CT), and comparing the diagnostic utility of both modalities in smaller lingual abscesses. This case was treated with antibiotics and adequate drainage was performed, with good evolution. Conclusions Tongue abscess is a rare pathology due to the various mechanisms that the tongue has to avoid infections; however, it is a diagnosis that we must consider. CT may be sufficient to diagnose it on imaging, but in smaller lesions, ultrasound with a high-frequency transducer provides more information.

Appendicular Lymphoid Hyperplasia in the Differential Diagnosis of Acute Appendicitis: Sonographic Findings

2020 , WHITTLE, CAROLINA , Lizbet Pérez , Marcela Cortes , Margarita Switt , Javiera Aguirre , CASTRO MENDEZ, ALEX

Objectives: To describe sonographic findings of appendicular lymphoid hyperplasia (ALH) and to report demographic data of patients with ALH operated for acute appendicitis (AA). Materials and Methods: In a retrospective study, 694 biopsies of consecutive AA surgeries with previous ultrasonography (US) were reviewed, after selecting the ALH cases. Results: Twenty-five ALH cases were proved histologically (3.8% of appendectomies). The mean age was 13 years, with 84% under 20 years. US findings showed increased appendiceal diameter (average 7 mm) (82%), hypoechogenic pseudonodular mucosal thickening (50%), concentric parietal thickening (13%), and periappendiceal inflammatory changes (18%). In four cases, a normal appendix was noted on US, with two associated with intestinal intussusceptions. Conclusion: ALH is a benign entity most frequent in children that can predispose to AA. Both pathologies can increase the appendiceal diameter. In the pediatric group, ALH could be considered when hypoechogenic pseudonodular appendicular mucosal thickening in the absence of periappendiceal inflammatory changes occurs.

Finger chondroid syringoma as a hypoechoic subcutaneous nodule in ultrasound

2013-09-01 , WHITTLE PINTO, CAROLINA , MacKinnon, John , Cabrera, Roberto , SILVA FUENTE ALBA, CLAUDIO SERGIO , Pires, Yumay , González, Robinson

Chondroid syringoma (CS) is an uncommon, benign epithelial skin mixed tumor. It is often located in the head and neck and is unusual in other parts of the body. It may be seen as a skin or soft tissue tumor. We present findings on high-resolution ultrasound and histology in a case of benign CS located on the right index finger. High-resolution ultrasound showed a solid hypoechoic, well-defined subcutaneous mass, adjacent to the tendon. Complete surgical excision was performed, and histopathology demonstrated an apocrine mixed tumor (CS). Although CS histological findings are well described, radiological features have been reported only in few cases and mainly in magnetic resonance. Chondroid syringoma should be suspected by high-resolution ultrasound as a differential diagnosis for a solid slow-growing soft tissue nodule in a finger, especially if the lesion has no contact with the underlying tendon. © 2013 by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.

Subgaleal lipomas. Ultrasound findings

2008-03 , WHITTLE, CAROLINA , Cortés, Marcela , Baldassare, Gina , CASTRO MENDEZ, ALEX , CABRERA MORAGA, RAUL ALEJANDRO

Lipomas are frequent benign soft tissue tumors. They are classified as superficial or deep. In the head, they are localized under the galea or epicraneal aponeurosis. Clinically they present as non symptomatic smooth tumors.
