• Soft Tissue Mass

  Imaging characteristics of a thyroglossal duct cyst as a simple cyst and of ectopic thyroid tissue as a hyperattenuating soft-tissue mass can help identify these lesions at computed tomography (CT); however, intrinsic magnetic resonance, CT, and ultrasonographic [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It revealed a well-defined intensely enhancing soft tissue mass lesion in right submandibular space [Figure 3], displacing the submandibular gland anteriorly and extending up to right parotid and parapharyngeal space. [ijri.org]

  Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are sometimes nonspecific in distinguishing ectopic thyroid from soft tissue masses or lymph nodes. [ispub.com]

  They usually present as soft to firm, nontender mass and may be slow growing or sudden onset ( Burger et al ., 2006 ; Zapater et al ., 2005 ). [scialert.net]
