A young teenage patient with a myofibroma in the right thigh. a and b: Coronal T2WI and FS T2WI reveal a huge lobulated, heterogeneous hyperintense mass with irregular patchy, strip hypointensities, and incomplete pseudocapsule (arrows). c: Coronal T1WI shows heterogeneous slight hyperintensity with irregular hypointense areas (arrows). d and e: Axial T2WI and contrast-enhanced FS T1WI reveal the lesion encircling tendon (arrows). e and f: On contrast-enhanced axial FS T1WI and coronal T1WI, the lesion shows inhomogeneous marked enhancement with non-enhanced hypointense areas. g: On contrast-enhanced MDCT image, the lesion shows heterogeneous enhancement. h: Photomicrograph (HE, × 100) shows a pseudocapsule consisting of a large number of collagen fibers (☆) with a small number of spindle cells (white arrows) and vascular proliferation (black arrows) in the lesion. i: A large amount of vascular proliferation (arrows) and irregular fibrosis (☆) are present in the center of the lesion (HE, × 100)
