Table 6 Computed Tomography in surveillance of IP malignant transformation summary
Study authors | Year | Study design | Level of evidence | Study group | Intervention | Outcome | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Chawla et al. [29] | 2016 | Expert opinion | D | None | None | IP on CT appears as lobulated soft tissue density mass with or without any calcification. IP causes bone remodeling and resorption rather than osseous destruction (as seen in malignant tumors). | CCP on MRI combined with osseous remodeling on CT are highly suggestive of IP over malignant mass. |
Miyazaki et al [28] | 2018 | Observational study | C | 70 IP cases, 6 IP-SCC | Medical history reviewed, comparing with histological findings | Nasal bleeding, pain, bone destruction and extent of disease on CT and MRI are associated with malignancy. | Imaging findings are associated with IP-SCC. |
