This is an 18-year-old who sadly has right
0:04
shoulder pain and the main finding
0:07
is a large heterogeneous mass that is
0:11
emanating from the scapula.
0:13
We can see the permeative pattern of bone
0:17
destruction with replacement of the normal
0:20
fatty marrow in the anterior portion of
0:24
the scapular body in this location.
0:27
The mass is then extending from the bone
0:31
and occupying the supraspinous fossa.
0:34
It has heterogeneous signal intensity
0:37
with areas that are more fluid-like,
0:40
likely central necrosis and other areas
0:44
where the mass is slightly more
0:47
intermediate to low signal intensity,
0:49
which could also be related to the
0:51
presence of blood products
0:52
or fibrous components.
0:54
In an 18-year-old who has a process
0:58
starting from the marrow, extending through
1:01
the cortex with this permeative
1:03
pattern of destruction,
1:05
you see the little holes in the cortex,
1:08
we have to think of Ewing sarcoma,
1:11
which turned out to be the diagnosis
1:13
in this patient.
1:14
On T1-weighted images here on the
1:17
oblique coronal sequence,
1:19
you can see the shortening
1:21
of T1 within the mass.
1:22
That's due to the presence of blood
1:25
products within the lesion.
1:27
Another important finding is the presence
1:31
of perilesional soft tissue edema.
1:33
So, we see how therre is increased signal intensity on
1:37
the fluid sensitive sequence,
1:40
surrounding the entire mass and causing this pattern
1:44
of aggressive features. So in summary,
1:48
bone marrow-replacing process,
1:49
permeative pattern of bone destruction,
1:52
large soft tissue component entirely
1:55
occupying the supraspinous fossa,
1:58
infiltrating the supraspinous muscle.
2:01
We can see the muscle right there.
2:03
The mass is occupying the supraspinous fossa.
2:06
In a patient who is young,
2:09
always think small round blue cell tumors.
2:14
Ewing sarcoma was the diagnosis
2:16
in this patient.
