From: The tip of the iceberg: lipomatous tumours presenting as abdominal or pelvic wall hernias

Fig. 3

Left panel: Coronal T1 TIRM-weighted MR image of the abdomen and pelvis: large intra-abdominal mass with areas of fat suppression suggesting a fat containing tumour. The tumour is seen to herniate through the left inguinal canal (red arrows). Right upper panel: Axial T1-weighted MR image of the pelvis: A large left indirect inguinal hernia is observed (red arrows). On T1-weighted imaging fat content is identified which would suggest liposarcoma. Right lower panel: Axial contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis: a large intra-pelvic lesion is observed herniating through a groin defect (white arrows) lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels (red arrow). It appears to be displacing and compressing the bladder posteriorly
