Overview
MRI may be diagnostic of lymphangioma. Findings on MRI suggestive of lymphangioma include hyperintense signal enhancement due to cyst formation.
MRI
MRI image characteristics observed among lymphangioma patients include:[1]
- T1 weighted image demonstrates:
- Variable signal that depends on the protein content of the mass
- T2 weighted image demonstrates:
- Hyperintense signal enhancement due to cyst formation
