Overview
CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroma. Findings on CT scan suggestive of fibroma include diffuse, slightly hypoattenuating masses with poor, very slow contrast enhancement.
CT Findings
Ossifying Fibroma
Findings on CT scan of ossifying fibroma includes the following:
- Seen as a well-circumscribed lesion
- Demonstrates evidence of intracortical osteolysis with a characteristic sclerotic band (osteoblastic rimming)
- Moderate cortical expansion
Non-ossifying Fibroma
Key CT Findings in Fibroma
- Fibromas usually manifest as diffuse, slightly hypoattenuating masses with poor, very slow contrast enhancement. Calcification and bilaterality are both uncommon.
