A 50-year-old woman with jaw pain and a history of bisphosphonate use was shown on radiography to have ill-defined soft tissue calcifications overlying the maxilla, mandible, and zygomatic bones bilaterally. The bones were normal. CT revealed similar findings. Although a broad imaging differential diagnosis was initially considered, further questioning of the patient revealed a history of facial injections with a calcium hydroxylapatite product for cosmetic purposes. The appearance of this increasingly popular treatment should be recognized to avoid errors in interpretation.
一位 50 岁女性,因颌痛就诊,有双膦酸盐使用史,影像学检查显示上颌骨、下颌骨和颧骨双侧有边界不清的软组织钙化。骨骼正常。CT 显示类似发现。尽管最初考虑了广泛的影像学鉴别诊断,但进一步询问患者发现,其曾因美容目的而接受过面部注射含羟磷灰石钙的产品。这种日益流行的治疗方法的表现应被识别,以避免在解释时出现错误。
