Our results suggest that using specific morphological MR imaging characteristics (maximum tumor diameter, thick septa and contrast enhancement) and the information on the localization of the lipomatous tumor, a high sensitivity and substantial specificity can be achieved for the diagnosis of lipomas and ALTs.
