Fluid-fluid levels in cavernous hemangioma of soft tissue

Skeletal Radiol. 1994 Feb;23(2):107-9. doi: 10.1007/BF00563202.

Abstract

Five cases of cavernous hemangioma with fluid-fluid levels on magnetic resonance imaging and/or computed tomography are reported. The signal characteristics were those of blood and histological analysis of the fluid-fluid levels showed that they were blood-filled cavities in the tumor. Although this finding itself is not specific, it may help in confirming the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma.
