Tar Barreler’s Hump: An Unusual Presentation of a Posttraumatic Pseudolipoma

Figure 3

MRI of the neck demonstrates a subcutaneous mass (white arrows) in the interscapular region isointense to surrounding subcutaneous fat on T1-weighted sequence (Figure 3(a), repetition time/echo time = 451/11 msec) and on fat-suppressed sequence (Figures 3(b) and 3(c), repetition time/echo time = 7090/89 msec). There is absence of a low signal intensity fibrous capsule (Figure 3(c)) typical of a lipoma.
