The Abdominal Wall Lumps and Bumps: Cross-Sectional Imaging Spectrum Vivek Virmani, MD, FRCR, Vineeta Sethi, MD, Najla Fasih, FRCR, John Ryan, FRCPC, Ania Kielar, FRCPC  Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal  Volume 65, Issue 1, Pages 9-18 (February 2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.carj.2012.02.001 Copyright © 2014 Canadian Association of Radiologists Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Abdominal-wall endometriosis in a 24-year-old woman with a history of caesarean section who presented with continuing cyclical pain symptoms. (A) Axial T2W, (B) fat-suppressed TIW, and (C) postcontrast magnetic resonance imaging, revealing a spiculated mass (arrows) in the region of the surgical scar, which is isointense compared with muscle on T2W, mildly hyperintense on T1W, and showing moderate contrast enhancement. A few foci of T1W and T2W hyperintensities (arrowheads) are seen, which represent foci of hemorrhage.

Figure 2 Anterior abdominal-wall desmoid in a 36-year-old woman, 6 months postpartum. (A) Axial T2W and (B) T1W magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), revealing a mass lesion (arrows) in the right rectus, which is hyperintense on T2W and isointense on T1W. Foci of low signal intensity on T2W represent collagen deposition. (B, inset) Contrast-enhanced MRI, revealing intense enhancement.

Figure 3 Left rectus sheath hematoma (black arrow) in a 55-year-old woman on anticoagulants. Hematocrit effect (arrowhead) and active extravasation (white arrow) is seen.

Figure 4 Epidermal inclusion cyst in a 34-year-old asymptomatic man. (A) Axial contrast computed tomography, revealing a well-defined tubular hypodense mass (arrow) in the anterior abdominal wall, with peripheral calcification (arrowhead). (B) Axial T2W magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and (C) Axial T1W MRI, revealing the lesion (arrows) to be iso- to mildly hyperintense on T2W and isointense on T1W. (C, inset) Contrast-enhanced MRI, which does not show significant enhancement. An epidermoid cyst often does not follow cystic signal intensity on MRI due to heterogeneous internal contents.

Figure 5 A 16-year-old boy with vascular malformation of the abdominal wall. (A) Axial computed tomography, revealing an irregular subcutaneous mass (white arrows) in the left flank, with fibrofatty matrix and phlebolith (arrowhead). Note is made of incidental left renal cyst (black arrow). (B) Postcontrast administration fat-saturated T1W, and (C) fat-saturated T2W magnetic resonance imaging, revealing the subcutaneous mass (dashed arrows) to have fibrofatty matrix with solid tissue (solid arrows), which is isointense on T1W and hyperintense on T2W. Multiple enhancing vessels are also seen (C, arrowhead). Surgical excision revealed this to be a lymphaticovenous malformation.

These are hyperintense on T2W. The target sign is well seen in many of these (dashed arrows). (B) Contrast-enhanced fat-saturated T1W MRI of the pelvis, revealing enhancing neurofibromas along the course of the sciatic nerve (white arrows); a dominant mass (arrowhead) is seen in the left inguinal region, which is predominantly cystic and shows enhancement of the thick septa. This was proven on pathology to be neurofibrosarcoma.
