On US, subcutaneous epidermal inclusion cysts are usually well-circumscribed, oval-shaped, mildly echogenic masses with occasional linear anechoic and/or echogenic reflections, increased through-transmission, hypoechoic rim and no Doppler flow. On MR, an intermediate to high T2 signal mass with occasional low signal debris and no central enhancement can strengthen the diagnosis.
OBJECTIVE. The objectiveof our studywas to analyzeMR imagesof vascularleiomy oma of the extremity and to compare these images with histopathologic findings to determine if a correlation exists.
CONCLUSION. T2-weightedMR imagesof vascular leiomyomaof anextremityshowedamass with mixed areas that were both hyper-and isointense to skeletal muscle and also revealed a hypointense rim; these images correlate with histopathologic findings of smooth muscle, vessels, fibrous tissue, an intravascular thrombus, and a fibrous capsule.
