Figure 2. Magnetic resonance images of a nerve sheath myxoma within the posterolateral left ankle prior to resection: (A) axial T1, (B) axial T2 post-contrast, (C) axial T2 magnified image. (A) Axial T1 magnetic resonance image shows an intermediate signal dermal-based lobular mass in the posterolateral ankle subcutaneous fat opposed to the dermis. (B) Axial T1 fat saturation gadolinium post-contrast image shows diffuse mass enhancement with non-enhancing thin septae. (C) Magnified axial fat saturated T2 magnetic resonance image demonstrates septae to better advantage (arrowhead).
