Radiological pathological correlation. Coronal T1weighted post-contrast fat-saturated (A), Coronal STIR (B), Axial T1weighted post-contrast fat-saturated (C), axial STIR (D), axial DWI (E), and axial ADC (F) represents HN-MRI imaging set for patient with laryngeal cancer prior to laryngectomy showing right laryngeal mass at glottis level with supraglottic extension (blue arrow), with focal STIR hyperintense signal and contrast enhancement just external to the right thyroid cartilage lamina (yellow arrow) without thyroid cartilage penetration (red arrow). Scanning power microscopic section from the moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma approaching but not invading thyroid cartilage, and with benign adjacent soft tissue (H&E, X2.5). Areas correlated between MRI and histopathology are marked by colored asterisks; yellow (G); Extralaryngeal soft tissue, red (H); thyroid cartilage, and blue (I); tumor in the larynx
