"Clinical presentation "
"T1: hypointense relative to the surrounding viscera. High T1 signal intensity may occur with internal bleeding or large amounts of intracystic proteinaceous content"
"T2: multiloculated hyperintense areas that correspond to the dilated lymphatic spaces. The intervening septa appear as hypointense bands, corresponding to the presence of fibrous tissue"
Expected headings
"Clinical presentation "
"The cysts are thought to be formed by abnormal dilatation of lymphatic channels; this can be congenital or acquired."
"The cyst wall and septa are composed of thin bands of fibrous tissue lined by bland endothelium, the nature of which can be confirmed on immunohistochemistry using endothelial markers (CD31, podoplanin); this may be necessary to rule out a cystic epithelial lesion. The fibrous cyst walls/septa can show focal calcification."
