Abstrakt: The authors present examples of the significantly improved diagnostic imaging for cystic lesions in the jaw bone, floor of the mouth and maxillary sinus with Gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) enhanced MRI. Twelve cases of cystic lesions, which were 6 cases of intra-osseous odontogenic cysts and cystic tumors, 2 cases of epidermoid cysts in the floor of the mouth and 4 cases of cystic polyp of the maxillary sinus. Improved MR images provided useful information delineating the thickness of circumscribed soft tissue wall (cystic wall), the location of the intra-cystic substance and the configuration of the tumor masses.
