Abstract.

Magnetic resonance imaging and pathologic findings in a 28-year-old patient with a giant deep benign fibrous histiocytoma in the popliteal fossa of the right knee are described. The MR imaging findings include a well-delineated oval mass with low signal intensity on T1-, and high signal intensity on T2-weighted, images, and marked peripheral contrast enhancement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the MR findings in this entity.
