    Abstract Sarcomas are rare tumours, which can arise in any location in the head and neck. This review highlights the characteristic features of the commoner subtypes of bone and soft tissue sarcomas (including radiation-induced sarcomas), with emphasis on diagnostic "pearls" and imaging "mimics". This knowledge will help the radiologist formulate a differential diagnosis and expedite referral to a regional sarcoma unit for definitive management.

    Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is in this day and age, an eminently treatable condition which relies heavily on preoperative imaging to localise enlarged parathyroid glands. The imaging appearances of parathyroid gland enlargement are varied; this paper seeks to address some of its more unusual manifestations with an emphasis on its atypical enhancement patterns, mimics and associations. An enlarged glands may also present as an 'incidentaloma' in head and neck imaging performed for entirely different indications, or as part of sporadic or familial syndrome. Radiologists are in a good position to expedite the relevant investigations and curative treatment, and knowledge of the spectrum of imaging appearances is crucial.

    Abstract An 80-year-old gentleman presented with a fall and subtle symptoms suggestive of a cerebellar lesion, on a background of hemiparesis due to a previous cerebral vascular accident. On admission it was thought that changes on a chest radiograph were consistent with a community-acquired pneumonia. A CT of the head showed a space-occupying lesion in the right cerebellum with surrounding oedema. A previous MRI of the brain performed 8 months earlier for investigation of dementia showed evidence of this lesion although it was significantly smaller and without midline shift; however, this had not been discussed on the MRI report. A subsequent CT of the thorax confirmed a thick-walled cavitating mass in the left upper lobe, with biopsy of this lesion and bronchial washings showing metaplastic and atypical cells suggestive of adenocarcinoma. This report highlights both the importance of accurate imaging reporting, even of incidental findings, and the insidious nature of lung malignancy and its broad clinical presentation.
