Figure 1 Magnetic resonance imaging scans: (A) axial short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence; (B) coronal STIR sequence; (C) axial T1-weighted fat-saturated (T1FS) postcontrast image; and (D) sagittal T1FS postcontrast image, showing a lobulated, patchy enhancing lesion (2.4×1.2×2.3 cm) in the right latissimus dorsi muscle abutting the underlying ribs. There was no edema or enhancement of the adjacent muscles or ribs. Three lobulated, patchy enhancing hepatic lesions measuring up to 2.4×2.4×2.0 cm were also identified, suggestive of incidental hepatic hemangiomas. Red arrows denote the lesion of interest.
