CT images of AAM (case11) The lesion was located in the left para-rectal space (Red arrow). A Axial plain CT scan showed lower density of the lesion compared with density of the muscle. B Axial enhancement CT scans showed the lesions are mildly enhanced and appear ‘layered’ (Blue arrow). The mass was clearly bounded, and the rectum and uterus were displaced to the right. MRI images of AAM (case7) A soft tissue mass was seen in the left pelvis with the lesion extending through the pelvic floor to the subcutaneous fat of the left buttock. The lesion was well defined and the surrounding structures were displaced (Red arrow). C Axial unenhanced T1-weighted MRI shows a mass with isosignal relative to the muscle. D Axial T2-weighted MRI showed the mass as a mixed signal with predominantly high signal. E Sagittal enhanced T1-weighted MRI showed the swirling and layering pattern of marked enhancement within the mass (Blue arrow)
