The MRI features of bilateral xanthoma of the achilles tendon in type II hyperlipoproteinemia are reported. MRI has proved to be the best imaging modality available in assessing enlargement of the Achilles tendon. It demonstrates the heterogeneous signal on both T1- and T2-weighted images where the xanthomatous deposits are relatively higher in signal intensity than the tendon itself. MRI also has a potential value in the clinical assessment and therapeutic response of the xanthoma after operative intervention.
报告了II型高脂蛋白血症患者双侧跟腱黄瘤的MRI特征。MRI已被证明是评估跟腱增粗的最佳可用成像方式。它在T1加权和T2加权图像上均显示出不均匀信号，其中黄瘤沉积物的信号强度相对高于肌腱本身。MRI在黄瘤手术干预后的临床评估和治疗反应方面也具有潜在价值。
