Reason: eval right distal forearm mass History: above 2 skin markers are present along the dorsal aspect of the forearm and wrist presumably corresponding to the patient's palpable area of concern. There is prominence of the subcutaneous fat in the immediately adjacent area without evidence of an enhancing mass lesion on postcontrast sequences. These findings appear most consistent with a lipoma which is difficult to accurately measure due to the lack of inherent contrast with the adjacent subcutaneous fat. There is no bone marrow signal abnormality in the surrounding area. The imaged musculature of the right forearm is unremarkable. No focal fluid collections are identified to suggest abscess formation. Note is made of prominent synovial enhancement about the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints which may reflect a very mild synovitis. No other abnormal enhancement is seen on postcontrast sequences.
