Abstract
Objective
This article reviews the MRI appearance of cystic retroperitoneal (RP) masses.
Conclusion
Lymphangiomas are the most common RP cystic masses and typically appear simple; microscopic fat is a specific but insensitive finding. Location, internal complexity, and enhancement pattern suggest alternative diagnoses which range from normal anatomic variants to congenital abnormalities and importantly include benign, neurogenic, and malignant neoplasms. An approach to the MR imaging of cystic RP masses is presented.
