Additionally, radiologists must consider several factors, including lesion fluid density/intensity, unilocular/multilocular characteristics, depth relative to the carotid sheath, and association with neck organs or with a specific patient population or syndrome. The authors provide a useful guide for evaluating different types of cysts ranging from intracranial lesions to mediastinal and lateral axillary lesions.</p> <!--StartFragment--><p class="ArticleBodyCopy"> </p> <!--EndFragment-->Friday, 18 Jan 2013 09:47:48 GMT
