Fig. 2From: Malignant psammomatous melanotic schwannoma mimicking adrenal cyst: case reportA T2-weighted, coronal view. B T2-weighted, axial view. C Fat suppressed sequence, axial view. D Gadolinium enhanced T1, axial view. The formation shows strongly heterogeneous MR-characteristic, mainly cystic (T2-hyperintense) and with hemorrhagic content (T1-hyperintense); there is presence of a relatively thick capsule (possibly a pseudocapsule due to a highly thin and peripherally dislocated parenchyma) and fine septa. After application of contrast material, there is an amplification of the signal at the periphery (capsule/pseudocapsule) of the lesion and in the septa. Mass effect on the upper pole of the right kidney, right hepatic lobe, inferior vena cava, and right renal vein is presentBack to article page
