Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroma. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of fibroma include solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.
Ultrasound
On ultrasound, fibromas most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.
Ovarian Fibroma
On ultrasound, ovarian fibroma most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation. As such, they may appear similar to a pedunculated subserosal uterine fibroid. However, the sonographic appearance can be variable and some tumors can rarely have cystic components.[1][2][3][4]
Uterine Fibroma
- Uncomplicated leiomyomas are usually hypoechoic, but can be isoechoic, or even hyperechoic compared to normal myometrium
- Calcification is seen as echogenic foci with shadowing
- Cystic areas of necrosis or degeneration may be seen
