Fig 1. A 51-year-old woman with abscess in the right middle third of the tongue.

A, An axial T1-weighted unenhanced MR image shows a centrally hypointense lesion with a high-intensity peripheral rim.

B, An axial T2-weighted MR image reveals a lesion that is very hyperintense, with a low-intensity rim (arrow) and hyperintense perilesional edema (arrowhead).

C, A contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted MR image depicts rim enhancement in the lesion, with enhancing perilesional tissue (arrowhead). A hypointense peripheral halo surrounding the wall is seen (arrow).
