Research from Kyoto Prefectural University, Medical Department provides new data about calcinosis
2009 MAY 11 - (NewsRx.com) -- According to a study from Kyoto, Japan, "An elderly Japanese woman presented to our hospital with a 5-month history of a growing mass on her right cheek." "She did not complain of local pain, headache, hearing difficulty, or tinnitus. CT and MRI showed a dense calcified mass and F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET demonstrated intense accumulation in the mass," wrote C. Okuyama and colleagues, Kyoto Prefectural University, Medical Department. The researchers concluded: "Resection of the mass was performed and it was histologically diagnosed as idiopathic tumoral calcinosis." Okuyama and colleagues published the results of their research in Clinical Nuclear Medicine (Intense F-18 FDG Accumulation in Idiopathic Tumoral Calcinosis. Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 2009;34(4):230-232). For additional information, contact C. Okuyama, Kyoto Prefectural University Medical, Dept. of Radiol, Kamigyo Ku, 465 Kajiicho, Kyoto 6028566, Japan.
