title: Delayed enhancement of peripheral zone of neurofibromas at magnetic resonance imaging.
abstract: It is well known that bizonal histologic appearance characteristic of neurofibromas are reflected on magnetic resonance (MR) images. We report a case in which a delayed enhanced MR image showed that the entire mass enhanced homogeneously resulting in loss of zonal distinction on early enhanced MR image.
