Abstract We report a case of cerebellar schwannoma in a 64-year-old woman. The tumor was defined on computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans and confirmed on surgery. The solid part of the tumor appeared to be derived from the inferior vermis of the cerebellum, the cystic part extending toward the medulla oblongata and the foramen magnum. The problem of preoperative diagnosis based on magnetic resonance imaging findings is discussed.

A patient presented with a frontal sinus mucopyocele and an epidural space infection secondary to an obstructing frontoethmoidal osteoma. Preoperative diagnosis was facilitated by both computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. His treatment involved both open and endoscopic surgical techniques of accomplishing sinus and epidural space drainage and osteoma removal. The clinical entity of paranasal sinus osteomas is discussed, with emphasis on diagnosis, associated complications, and decisions regarding surgical management.

A case of sublingual epidermoid cyst presenting distinctive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings is described. A 39-year-old man presented to our hospital with a three months progressive left submandibular swelling, difficulty moving his tongue, and snoring. Preoperative evaluation with MRI and fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) revealed that the heterogeneous cystic lesion contained the squamous cells, which is compatible with ectodermal tissue. The mass was located above the mylohyoid muscle and spread to the pharyngeal space. By considering the size, infection history, patient age, and location, the cyst was completely resected under general anesthesia via cervical approach without any complication. Histopathologically, the cyst wall was lined by stratified squamous epithelium with no skin appendage, suggesting an epidermoid cyst. Ultrasound (US), MRI and FNAC were very useful of the preoperative diagnosis for oral and sublingual lesion. The postoperative course was uneventful and without recurrence after 24 months. This case showed that epidermoid cysts formed the rarely heterogeneous cystic tumor and it underlined usefulness of preoperative diagnosis, such as US, MRI and FNAC for oral and sublingual tumor.

Crossed testicular ectopia also known as transverse testicular ectopia is a rare anomaly of the testis which is ectopically located in contralateral hemiscrotum with absent testis in the ipsilateral hemiscrotum. Most case are incidentally discovered intraopeartively during operation of inguinal hernia and few case reports are available which have reported preoperative diagnosis of crossed testicular ectopia. We report a case of crossed testicular ectopia in 12 year old boy who presented with right undescended testis diagnosed preoperative on Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging as crossed testicular ectopia. Keywords: crossed ectopia; MRI; testis; ultrasonography.

Venous varix on the volar aspect of the digits or the hand is a rare subcutaneous lesion that is usually described as a firm, blue, and painful single nodule that contains thrombus. However, there have been no reports about venous varix on the dorsal aspect of the digits or the hand, so its features are unknown. We treated two patients who each had a soft blue painless mass on the dorsal aspect of the thumb that became enlarged with the tourniquet test. Ultrasonography and/or magnetic resonance imaging were used for assisting with the preoperative diagnosis, and showed each lesion was composed of two or more varicosities. Each mass was removed and was diagnosed as a venous varix without thrombus by histological examination.
