<v ->So let's start with that.
0:03
Now this last section is a little bit complicated.
0:07
Those bone tumor cases are more challenging.
0:11
So I'm gonna show some classic cases.
0:15
This first one,
0:19
it's a young 24 year-old female
0:25
presenting with mass
0:28
in the forearm.
0:32
And that we can see right away with MRI
0:42
T2 fat sat,
0:44
T1 and,
0:50
post gap imaging.
0:52
So we can see high signal bone lesion
0:58
with cortical destruction,
1:02
multilobular mass extending to the soft tissues.
1:07
We have a lot of enhancement of the lesion
1:11
and also of the soft tissues.
1:15
The axial imaging
1:19
we can see the insufflation
1:22
in a lot of soft tissue here, extension
1:29
and we lose the cortical bone here.
1:33
So this also, we did a CT of this patient
1:40
and with the CT, we can see the insufflation,
1:44
expansion of the lesion and a lot of cortical destruction.
1:52
We are searching for something inside the lesion
1:55
that can give us a clue.
1:59
Any hemosiderin or other stuff.
2:05
We also have findings at the wrist, the bones,
2:11
carpal bones, we have enhancement
2:16
and that's,
2:20
we can see some osteopenia here.
2:22
So probably we have a disuse osteoporosis going on
2:27
and responsible for those areas of increased vascular end
2:32
on the periphery of the carpal bones.
2:35
So this is reactional.
2:37
This is a classic case of Giant Cell Tumor.
2:43
Invasive.
2:45
It is a benign tumor
2:47
but this case is the aggressive type
2:51
with a lot of bone destruction.
2:53
We also did a TB CT scan
2:57
showing the multilobular appearance
3:01
of this tumor.
3:03
So we have some preservation
3:05
of tubercular bone in some regions here.
3:08
So it's a characteristic
3:10
of the Giant Cell Tumor
3:14
of the radius.
3:18
So I think this is a classic, Don.
3:20
Isn't it?
3:22
<v ->Yeah, it is a classic.
3:23
And, I just wanna make one comment
3:25
so that I'm sure every single person who's listening today
3:28
will come back tomorrow.
3:30
And that is that you pointed out beautifully
3:34
the changes in the carpal bones
3:36
and that peripheral rim, a bone within bone appearance
3:40
which is so characteristic of hyperemia.
3:44
Tomorrow, I'm gonna go into some detail
3:46
about some of the MR imaging characteristics
3:50
in the marrow that tell you whether
3:53
or not it is a reversible or irreversible condition
3:58
but that bone within bone appearance
4:00
in the carpal bones seen with osteoporosis
4:04
as you mentioned, is classic for hyperemia.
4:07
It's a beautiful demonstration.
