Figure 2a.

Chylolymphatic cyst in a 24-year-old woman with acute onset of abdominal pain, with gross pathologic correlation. (a) Axial contrast-enhanced CT image shows a well-circumscribed thin-walled cyst in the midabdomen (arrow) with a fat-fluid level. * = fat-containing chylous component. (b) Axial T1-weighted MR image shows that the fat-containing chylous component (*) of the cyst (arrow) is hyperintense. (c) Axial out-of-phase T1-weighted image shows diffuse loss of signal intensity in the fat-containing chylous component (*) of the cyst (arrow). (d) Photograph of the opened specimen shows a thin-walled unilocular cyst (arrow) with a small amount of residual thick milky yellow fluid (*).
