Histopathologically, calvarial lesions are
congenital, inflammatory, neoplastic and traumatic origin and these are
rarely seen. The calvarial lesions most commonly manifest as palpable
mass on physical examination or they are diagnosed incidentally during a
radiological test. Defect, lysis and sclerosis in the bony structure
are evaluated with radiography and computed tomography (CT) and
relationships of the lesions with the soft tissue components and
surrounding soft tissue are evaluated with CT and magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) and especially with MRI. Based on the radiological
findings, benign-malignant discrimination of the calvarial lesions can
be made and it may be possible to estimate their histopathological
diagnoses.

Osteolitik Benign Kalvarial Kitlelere Radyolojik Yaklaşım

Öz

Kalvarial lezyonlar histopatolojik olarak,
kongenital, enflamatuar, neoplastik ve travmatik kökenli olup, nadir
olarak izlenmektedir. Kalvarial lezyonlar en sık klinik muayenede ele
gelen kitle şeklinde ya da radyolojik bir tetkikde insidental olarak
tanı konur. Kemik yapıdaki defekt, lizis ve skleroz radyografi ve
bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ile, lezyonların yumuşak doku komponentleri
ve çevre yumuşak doku ile ilişkisi, BT ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme
(MRG) ile ve özelikle MRG ile değerlendirilir. Radyolojik değerlendirme
sonucu, radyolojik bulgulara göre kalvarial lezyonların benignmalign
ayrımı ve histopatolojik tanısını tahmin etmek mümkün olmaktadır.
