Overview
Other imaging studies for the diagnosis of desmoid tumor include ultrasonography, which demonstrates tumor size and location. On ultrasonography, desmoid tumors appear as well-defined lesions with variable echogenicity. with ill defined/irregular borders. On color Doppler, desmoids appear like muscles, may be lobulated and may show vascularity.
Other Imaging Findings
Ultrasonography
- On ultrasound, desmoid tumors typically appear as:
- Homogeneously anechoic or hypoechoic masses
- Well-defined lesions
- Lateral borders may appear ill defined or irregular
- Should not be confused with cystic lesions
Color Doppler
- Findings on color Doppler are as follows:
- Appear like muscles
- May be lobulated
- May show vascularity[1]
