Localized pleural mesothelioma: CT and MR findings

摘要

A case of localized pleural mesothelioma inducing hypoglycemic coma is presented, CT and MR findings are described. T1-weighted MR images demonstrated the mass of slightly high signal intensity with lesions of signal void. Varying degrees of T2 shortening were shown on T2-weighted MR images. Coronal MR imaging was useful for assessing the relationship between the diaphragm and lesions in the lower chest. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Inc.
