Lipomas are common benign neoplasms of the chest wall. However, their extension from the pleural space through the ribs into the superficial tissues of the chest wall has been described only twice previously, both by computed tomography (CT). A case is presented of a transmural chest wall lipoma diagnosed by MRI with CT correlation. The advantages of MRI in the diagnosis of these unique neoplasms are described.
脂肪瘤是胸壁常见的良性肿瘤。然而,其从胸膜腔经肋骨延伸至胸壁浅表组织的情况此前仅在两篇文献中有所描述,均是通过计算机断层扫描(CT)发现的。本文介绍了一例经磁共振成像(MRI)诊断并与CT结果相互印证的透壁性胸壁脂肪瘤病例。文中阐述了MRI在诊断这类特殊肿瘤中的优势。
