Conclusion
Normal 0 false false false PT JA X-NONE
The presence of fat components within a lesion combined with other imaging features allow definite diagnosis or greatly narrow the differential diagnosis.
MRI is currently the most specific imaging technique for demonstration and characterization of microscopic and macroscopic fat.
Understanding and recognizing the spectrum of radiologic appearances and pathologic basis of fat containing lesions helps to refine the diagnostic options and treatment.
