Figure 1. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the patient’s right leg. A well-defined, oval shaped lesion visible just lateral to the fibula at the proximal third of the right leg. (A) Iso-hypointense signal on axial T1-weighted image without contrast (asterisk). (B) Heterogeneous enhancement on T1-weighted image with intravenous contrast. (C) Sagittal view on T1-weighted image with contrast showing lesion (arrow) arising from the superficial peroneal nerve. (D) Clear visualization of the lesion measuring 2 cm in width on proton-density sequence.
