Giant cell tumours (GCTs) are benign tumours commonly found in the long bones. Rarely, they may occur in the larynx, often resulting in hoarseness and anterior neck swelling. Since Wessely reported the first case of laryngeal GCT in 1940, 35 cases have been identified. Herein, we present a case of a 53-year-old male with GCT of the larynx that showed and hypointense signal on MRI, presumably owing to abundant haemosiderin deposition. We also discuss the imaging findings of CT and F-fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scans, as well as the pathological correlation.
骨巨细胞瘤(GCTs)是常见于长骨的良性肿瘤。它们很少发生于喉部,常导致声音嘶哑和颈部前方肿胀。自1940年韦塞利报告首例喉部骨巨细胞瘤以来,已确诊35例。在此,我们报告一例53岁男性喉部骨巨细胞瘤病例,该病例在MRI上表现为[此处原文缺失内容]低信号,推测是由于大量含铁血黄素沉积所致。我们还讨论了CT和F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描的影像学表现以及病理相关性。
