Fig. 4 45-year-old man with lipoma of left forearm that was resected
and proven histologically. A, Axial fat-suppressed spin-echo
T1-weighted (TR/TE, 650/15) image obtained after contrast administration shows
internal enhancement of septations in mass, a nonspecific finding that can
occasionally be seen with well-differentiated liposarcoma. Voxel was placed
over area of abnormal signal. Note that this image was obtained on different
day from day on which MR spectroscopy was performed because all MR
spectroscopy imaging was obtained before contrast administration in this
series. B, Single-voxel MR spectroscopy image obtained in area of
abnormal signal shows large lipid peak, confirming lipomatous nature of mass,
with no detectable choline to suggest malignancy.
