From: The CT and MRI observations of small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma in paranasal sinuses
SNEC of paranasal sinuses in a 41-year-old man (a-d). The lesion was symmetrical, and the size was about 5.8 cm × 5.7 cm × 4.3 cm. (a) CT image showed worm-eaten bone destruction in sphenoid sinus, anterior cranial fossa, and orbital apex; however, bone contours still could be seen. (b) T1-weighted MR image demonstrated isointensity. (c) T2-weighted MR image demonstrated isointense together with a ‘pigeon’ pattern. (d) Contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR image demonstrated a moderate heterogeneous enhancement mass, which showed involvement of the pharyngonasal cavity, orbital apex, pterygopalatine fossa, sella, cavernous sinus, internal carotid canal, and jugular foramen.
