Abstract

We present a rare case of a myxoid matrix-rich mesenteric lipoblastoma. In this case, fat-saturated T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging failed to disclose the fatty component of the tumor, while in-phase and opposed-phase MR imaging could accurately identify small fat scattered in this myxoid matrix-rich tumor.

저자들은 드문 종양인 점액성 기질이 풍부한 장간막 지방모세포종을 보고하고자 한다. 이 증례에서 지방감쇄 T1 강조 자기공명영상으로는 종양의 지방 성분을 증명하는 데 실패한 반면, 정위상과 탈위상 자기공명영상으로는 이 점액성 기질이 풍부한 장간막 지방모세포종 내에 흩어져 있는 적은 양의 지방을 정확하게 확인할 수 있었다.
