Findings & ImagesLoss of the

subcutaneous fat on the LT side over the mandible.

T1

Findings & ImagesAbnormal soft

tissue mass lesion seen overlying the LT masseter muscle

Appears high signal intensity in T2WI

T2

Findings & ImagesPost contrast images

show:

Mild enhancement of the soft tissue mass

T1

Findings & ImagesLT masseter muscle

is slightly smaller than the RT one

T2

Findings & ImagesAbnormal signal

intensity of the superficial part of LT parotid gland

T1

Findings & ImagesPost contrast images

show:

Abnormal enhancement of

the superficial part of the LT parotid gland

T1

Findings & ImagesBilateral cervical

lymph node noted the largest one on the LT side measuring approx 2.5 x 1 cm

T2

Findings & ImagesNo clear evidence of abnormal signal

intensity within the visualized bone specially on the LT side.

ConclusionK/C of scleroderma with possible

infiltration of the masseter muscle.

Similar area of signal alteration seen within the superficial part of the parotid gland

Possibility of neoplastic lesion cannot be rule out.

No abnormal signal intensity or enhancement within the underlying bone.

Scleroderma Scleroderma is a disease that can cause

thickening, hardening, or tightening of the skin, BV’s and internal organs.F>M

Types Localized: usually only affects the skin on the

hands and face. Systemic: more serious and affects connective

tissue in many body parts, including internal organs.

Scleroderma Cause:

Considered as an auto-immune disease.

Symptoms: like, Hardening and thickening of the affected skin Loss of hair over affected area Change in skin color Ulcers or sores on fingers Telangiectasia Muscle weakness Dryness of eyes/mouth Digestive, Kidney, Heart and lung problems

Hardening and color change

Scleroderma Treatment:

No cure for scleroderma. Medication treat symptoms + prevent

complications. Lifestyle changes help in coping with the

disease e.g.(exercise, skin creams, no smoking, no exposure to cold or stress).

Diagnosis: Medical history, physical exam, lab tests, and

radiologic imaging
