Computed tomography of osteogenic sarcoma of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses

Computed tomography was performed in four patients with osteogenic sarcoma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. In all cases CT demonstrated an abnormal soft tissue mass with associated aggressive bony destruction. In only one case were areas of calcification and new bone formation identified, allowing a preoperative diagnosis. The CT appearance of these four patients plus an additional four cases previously reported in the literature are reviewed.
