Overview

MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of lipoma. Findings on an MRI suggestive of lipoma include a well-defined lesion with intensity similar to that of subcutaneous fat.

MRI

  • MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of lipoma. Findings on an MRI suggestive of lipoma include a well-defined lesion with intensity similar to that of subcutaneous fat.[1][2]
  • The lesion may have thin septations. The internal septa may have low signal intensity on TI- and T2-weighted images.

Examples of MRI Findings for Lipoma


Sgital T1 veiw, large intradural lipoma with homogeneus hyperintense signal[3]


spindle shaped intradural extramedullary mass showed with yellow arrow[4]
