The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings revealed a cystic mass of 1.5 cm. in size located at the periphery of the pronator teres muscle; the T1-weighted MRI showed hypointensity mass with internal content that was more obviously seen on T2-weighted image and T1-weighted with fat suppression after gadolinium administration. The authors could not recognize perilesional edema in the MRI that corresponded with the histological findings of chronic inflammatory process in combination with foreign body giant cell reaction. The scolex could not be seen in the imaging but could be identified in the histopathological sections.Mahidol UniversityMedicineArticleSCOPUS
