Overview

MRI may be diagnostic of lymphangioma. Findings on MRI suggestive of lymphangioma include hyperintense signal enhancement due to cyst formation.[1][2][3][4]

MRI

  • MRI image characteristics observed among lymphangioma patients include:[5]
  • 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
