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:

• 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
