Figure 3. T1 image shows curvilinear hyperintense areas. Rest of contents are slightly hyperintense on T1.
Figure 4. STIR image shows suppression of signal in curvilinear T1 hyperintense areas suggestive of fat content.
On Color Doppler: no internal vascularity; internal vascularity requires further workup to exclude a malignant lesion
