A Case of Cervical Intraneural Lipoma That Was Removed by Intercapsular Resection with No Resultant Postoperative Neurological Deficit

Figure 1

Imaging findings: contrast-enhanced computed tomography ((a) horizontal section and (b) coronal section) showing a well-defined, 85 × 50 mm tumor (arrow) in the right neck. There was no contrast effect inside the tumor. Contrast-enhanced MRI ((c) T1-weighted images, (d) T2-weighted images, and (e) STIR) shows the tumor had low signal intensity on T1-weighted images, high signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and low signal intensity on STIR. Variable signal intensity areas were seen outside the tumor.
