Neuromuscular choristoma: characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings and association with post-biopsy fibromatosis

Objective To describe imaging characteristics of neuromuscular choristomas (NMC) and to differentiate them from fibrolipomatous hamartomas (FLH). Materials and methods Clinical and imaging characteristics of six patients with biopsy-proven NMC and six patients with FLH were reviewed by musculoskelet...

description Objective To describe imaging characteristics of neuromuscular choristomas (NMC) and to differentiate them from fibrolipomatous hamartomas (FLH). Materials and methods Clinical and imaging characteristics of six patients with biopsy-proven NMC and six patients with FLH were reviewed by musculoskeletal, a pediatric, and two in-training radiologists with a literature review to define typical magnetic resonance imaging features by consensus. Five radiology trainees blinded to cases and naive to the diagnosis of NMC and a musculoskeletal-trained radiologist rated each lesion as having more than or less than 50 % intralesional fat, as well as an overall impression using axial T1 images. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and interobserver agreement kappa were determined. Results Typical features of NMC include smoothly tapering, fusiform enlargement of the sciatic nerve or brachial plexus elements with T1 and T2 signal characteristics closely following those of muscle. Longitudinal bands of intervening low T1 and T2 signal were often present and likely corresponded to fibrous tissue by pathology. Four of five patients with long-term follow-up (80 %) developed aggressive fibromatosis after percutaneous or surgical biopsy. Nerve fascicle thickening often resulted in a “coaxial cable” appearance similar to classic FLH, however, using a cutoff of

Agreement was excellent with all differentiating methods (kappa 0.861–1.0). Conclusions NMC can be confidently differentiated from FLH and malignancies using characteristic imaging and clinical features. When a diagnosis is made, biopsy should be avoided given frequent complication by aggressive fibromatosis.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0364-2348</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1432-2161</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s00256-012-1546-7</identifier><identifier>PMID: 23184268</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin/Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Biopsy ; Child ; Choristoma - pathology ; Diagnosis, Differential ; Female ; Fibroma - pathology ; Fibromatosis, Aggressive - pathology ; Humans ; Imaging ; Infant ; Magnetic resonance imaging ; Magnetic Resonance Imaging - methods ; Male ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Middle Aged ; Neuromuscular Diseases - pathology ; Nuclear Medicine ; Observer Variation ; Orthopedics ; Pathology ; Radiology ; Scientific Article ; Sensitivity and Specificity</subject><ispartof>Skeletal radiology, 2013-04, Vol.42 (4), p.567-577</ispartof><rights>ISS 2012</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2013 Springer</rights><rights>ISS 2013</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c439t-e2fe9bd84aa806d6133e0ff67145c1499cb018fcd7bcf842886b773b5df338743</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c439t-e2fe9bd84aa806d6133e0ff67145c1499cb018fcd7bcf842886b773b5df338743</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,778,782,27907,27908</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23184268$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Niederhauser, Blake D.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Spinner, Robert J.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Jentoft, Mark E.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Everist, Brian M.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Matsumoto, Jane M.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Amrami, Kimberly K.</creatorcontrib><title>Neuromuscular choristoma: characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings and association with post-biopsy fibromatosis</title><title>Skeletal radiology</title><addtitle>Skeletal Radiol</addtitle><addtitle>Skeletal Radiol</addtitle><description>Objective To describe imaging characteristics of neuromuscular choristomas (NMC) and to differentiate them from fibrolipomatous hamartomas (FLH).
