Abstract
Objective:
In this article, we review the CT and MRI features of secondary involvement of the masticator space in a variety of tumors. We focus on showing various patterns of tumor spread to the masticator space.
Conclusion:
Secondary masticator space involvement is not rare. Familiarity with the anatomy of the masticator space and its anatomic relationship with adjacent structures is important for imaging interpretation.
