MR imaging of skeletal muscle metastases.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this article is to describe the MR imaging appearance of skeletal muscle metastases.


CONCLUSIONS
Skeletal muscle metastasis must be considered in patients with a known primary carcinoma who present with a painful muscle mass. Muscle metastasis may be the initial presentation of carcinoma. The MR imaging appearance, although not specific, may provide clues to the diagnosis.
