This is a companion case to the solitary fibrous
0:04
tumor that was demonstrated earlier.
0:06
Here we have a mass which is in an extra-axial
0:11
location and is invading the top of the orbit.
0:15
We note that it is relatively low in signal intensity on T1-weighted scans.
0:20
It's also low in signal intensity on the T2-weighted scan.
0:23
And yet it shows avid contrast enhancement.
0:26
So this has imaging features very much
0:28
like the solitary fibrous tumor.
0:30
The differential diagnosis here would
0:32
include a calcified meningioma,
0:35
which would also be an extra-axial lesion that
0:37
may have, for example, this CSF cleft sign.
0:41
However, this lesion is from the bone and that is best
0:45
demonstrated on the coronal imaging.
0:48
On this coronal image, one can see that the
0:52
lesion is infiltrating the orbital roof and has
0:57
a component which is in the extra-axial
1:00
compartment of the brain but is also growing into the orbit.
1:05
This case went to surgery and this was a
1:08
juvenile ossifying fibroma. Unfortunately,
1:11
many of these fibrous lesions can be quite
1:14
tricky and have similar signal intensity characteristics.
1:18
So the solitary fibrous tumor and the juvenile
1:21
ossifying fibroma in this case had the identical imaging features.
1:26
The solitary fibrous tumor has malignant potential.
1:29
The juvenile ossifying fibroma does not.
