In this case, uncommon clinical and radiographic findings at presentation, including a well-defined smoothly
marginated purely sclerotic lesion in a middle aged patient without complex periosteal reaction in an extremely rare location, may have contributed to diagnostic uncertainty.

(27) Another well
marginated, irregular, CSF density lesion in cerebellopontine angle had features similar to that of epidermoid cyst.
Specific CT scan characteristic of mature mesenteric cystic teratoma is a well
marginated mass with one or more cystic components of varying proportions, frequently processing areas of calcification or fat.
The chest radiograph shows a large left mediastinal soft tissue mass with smoothly
marginated borders and no calcification (Figure 1A).
The typical CT appearance of EMH is smoothly
marginated, soft-tissue masses with homogeneous enhancement along the paravertebral regions.
At CT, it appears as a soft-tissue mass, either sharply
marginated, as most commonly seen in abdominal-wall tumours, or with ill-defined infiltrative margins, as seen in extra-abdominal or mesenteric tumours.
When examined with contact polarized dermoscopy, the papules were white and poorly
marginated (Fig.
Results of a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a tubular, irregularly
marginated structure along the medial aspect of the duodenum, consistent with an inflamed pancreas.
Hypertrophied astrocytes with scant cytoplasm, vesicular nucleus,
marginated chromatin were frequently observed in pairs (Alzheimer type II astrocytes); and also severe vacuolization in the white matter of the brain, cerebellum and brain stem (spongiosis) was found (FIG.
Grossly, lesions are well
marginated. Microscopically, lesions are low to moderately cellular, and consist of bland spindle or stellate-shaped cells in a myxoid to collagenous matrix (Figure 2, B).
