1.
Axial T1W MR image obtained eight months post-surgery reveals surgical scar (arrow on JPEG image) and noncontour deforming post surgical changes within vastus medialis muscle in right thigh.
2.
Post contrast T1W image reveals feathery enhancement in muscle. Percutaneous aspiration performed two days following the MR study did not reveal any recurrence. We do not know exactly how much post-operative chemo/radiation therapy contributes to the post therapy changes noted on MR imaging.
