Overview

MRI may be diagnostic of lymphangioma. Findings on MRI suggestive of lymphangioma include hyperintense signal enhancement due to cyst formation.

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
