Abstract
We report a case of extravasation of an antitumor agent by preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. MR studies demonstrated a decreased signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted images and a strong enhancement of contrast media in injured tissue, including subcutaneous adipose tissue and deep fascia, which was cicatrical macroscopically. The MR findings were in good agreement with the macroscopic findings. We believe that MR imaging is useful for estimating deep tissue damage due to extravasation of an antitumor agent.Keywords
