  • Title: Parosteal lipoma with hyperostosis: report of two pathologically proven cases evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging.
    Author: Laorr A, Greenspan A.
    Journal: Can Assoc Radiol J; 1993 Aug; 44(4):285-90. PubMed ID: 8348358.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe two cases of parosteal lipoma, an infrequent benign tumour, associated with hyperostosis. The first patient presented with a mass in the posterior neck, the other with one in the proximal forearm. Radiologic diagnosis was facilitated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The MRI images showed the characteristic features of a parosteal lipoma, as well as hyperostotic areas that remained of low signal intensity in both T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences. MRI is both sensitive and specific for diagnosing these lesions and provides excellent depiction of the anatomic features before surgery.
