Fig. 9

A 16-year-old kickboxer with a suspected “tumor” of the lateral leg, location marked with a capsule. Axial T1 (a), T2 (b), and post contrast T1f-weighted (c) MR images demonstrate a muscle hernia of the peroneus longus muscle with outpouching of the muscle through the antero-lateral investing fascia. The hernia follows the imaging characteristics of the muscle tissue in all sequences. There was a history of direct trauma while playing soccer 1 year ago, presumably resulting in a tear of the investing fascia. The patient noted an increase in size during training/muscle activity.
