Abstract
Choristomas, masses of normal tissues in aberrant locations, contain smooth muscle fibers and fibrous tissues.

In one case, enhancement was seen in the geniculate ganglion and greater superficial petrosal nerve. In the other, a medial component enhanced less than the lateral component did.
