Fig. 4

Left panel: Axial T1-weighted MR image of the pelvis: a lipomatous lesion arising within the pelvis and indenting the anterior bladder wall is seen with herniation (red arrows) medial to the epigastric vessels in keeping with a direct inguinal hernia. Right panel: Sagittal T1-weighted MR image of the pelvis: red arrows outline the neck of the direct inguinal hernia containing a lipomatous lesion. The hernial sac content is bright on T1 in keeping with fat, the presence of internal septations and ‘haziness’ of the fat content suggest pathology other than a simple lipomatous lesion
