Overview
Leiomyosarcoma is generally a diagnostic dilemma requires the use of both radiology and pathology for their accurate diagnosis. Ultrasonography is relatively cheap, non-invasive and easily available technology in early detection of soft tissue mass.
Ultrasound
- Leiomyosarcoma can be shown on ultrasound as heterogenous enlarged uterine mass that is extended into the vagina or normal size uterus. [1][2]
- Ultrasonography is relatively cheap, non invasive and easily available technology in early detection of soft tissue mass.
- Evaluation of the size, location and consistency of soft tissue lesions.
- Transvaginal ultrasound can detect myometrial invasion by measuring thinness of myometrium in leiomyosarcoma.
- Doppler flow studies have been used in some studies to assess intramural blood flow in an attempt to improve preoperative diagnosis of sarcomas.
