case_images: Cervical MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) shows a cystic lesion (Red arrow) (45 x 41 x 35 mm3) behind the left lobe of the thyroid gland that exerted a mass effect on the trachea and the esophagus. (a) Coronal T2-weighted image: shows a hyperintense lesion. (b) Coronal T1-weighted image: shows a hypointense lesion. (c) Axial T1-weighted image after gadolinium injection: shows a hypointense non-enhancing lesion.
