Back mass A series of vitamin E markers were placed along the region of interest along the upper right back of the patient. Along the markers is prominence of the subcutaneous fat without definite encapsulation. There is a mild amount of increase signal intensity on T2-weighted sequences which may reflect some underlying edema. This is best appreciated on series 701, images 17-33. Following contrast administration, there are no enhancing nodules or thick septa. There is otherwise no abnormal enhancement detected elsewhere. Note that the examination was not tailored for the evaluation of the shoulder, chest, or abdomen.
Prominence of the subcutaneous fat of the right upper back without underlying enhancement or other aggressive features. These findings most likely represent a benign lipoma, however given the stated history of an enlarging mass, consultation with orthopedics is recommended.
