Figure 6. (a) (Case 8) Coronal T1 weighted image of the hip shows an expansile isointense lesion within the intertrochanteric region and the shaft of the left femur, with focal hyperintense areas within due to fatty components. (b) (Case 8) Coronal fat-suppressed T2 weighted image shows a heterogeneously hyperintense lesion and multiple linear hypointense areas. (c) (Case 8) Coronal contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed T1 weighted image shows patchy central and peripheral enhancement. The foci of very low signal intensity in the region of the greater trochanter correspond to the fatty areas identified on Figure 6a.
