    Author: Flacke S, Pauleit D, Keller E, Knoepfle G, Textor J, Leutner C, Schild HH.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1999 May; 20(5):923-5. PubMed ID: 10369367.
    Abstract:
    CT and MR imaging studies were performed in a 3-year-old boy with infantile fibromatosis arising from the infratemporal fossa and extending into the middle cranial fossa. On CT scans, the lesion was hyperattenuating (44-49 Hounsfield units [HU]), enhancing significantly after application of contrast material (63-66 HU). The MR images showed a multilobulated lesion of heterogeneous signal intensity. The tumor was markedly hypointense on T2-weighted images and slightly hypointense on T1-weighted images relative to brain tissue, iso- or slightly hyperintense relative to tongue muscle on both T2- and T1-weighted images, and enhanced strongly after administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine.
