Published in: Skeletal Radiology | Issue 7/2013

Abstract

The authors report a vascular malformation mimicking a plexiform peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Three Tesla magnetic resonance neurography with high-resolution anatomic and advanced functional diffusion tensor imaging was helpful in evaluating full extent of the lesion and characterizing its internal architecture.
