Magnetic resonance imaging findings of a superficial mass of the right lower leg in a 41-year-old woman.
Axial T1-weighted (a) and T2-weighted (b) images showing that the lesion did not contact the superficial fascia (Group 1 per the Galant classification). Pathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed angioleiomyoma (c; hematoxylin-eosin staining; magnification ×200).
Fig 2.
Magnetic resonance imaging findings of a superficial mass in the anterior part of the right lower leg in a 78-year-old woman.
Axial T1-weighted image showing a well-defined lesion with wider contact with the fascia at obtuse angles (a; Group 4 per the Galant classification). Pathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (b; hematoxylin-eosin staining; magnification ×200).
