Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzra Mahlmn / M / 18 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzshi.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Left Thigh.
CLINICAL PROFILE :
C/O pain in the left thigh since 1 year.
EXAMINATION :
M.R.I. of the left thigh was performed using the following parameters :
10 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.
6 mm thick STIR and T1 Weighted coronal images.
6 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS sagittal images.
OBSERVATION :
There is evidence of an irregularly defined mass lesion within the left vastus medialis muscle in the middle third of the left thigh extending over a distance of approximately 10.0 cms. The inferior aspect of this lesion is located at the distance of approximately 12 - 13 cms from the left knee joint.
This lesion is predominantly hyperintense on all the pulse sequences. A few serpingeneous signal voids suggestive of vessels are seen within this lesion. A few punctate hypointensities on the GRASS images within this lesion may represent paramagnetic substances/calcium/fibrous tissue.
The visualized portion of the left femur shows normal signal intensity. There is no obvious bony destruction or erosion.
The fat planes around the muscles are unremarkable.
IMPRESSION :
The MRI features are suggestive of a mass lesion within the left vastus medialis muscle in the middle third of the left thigh extending over a distance of approximately 10.0 cms. as described. This most likely represents a neoplasm like a hemangioma. The possibility of this being another neoplasm like a soft tissue sarcoma cannot be excluded.
