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. The lateral borders may appear ill defined or irregular.[1]
Other Imaging Findings
Ultrasonography
- On ultrasound, desmoid tumors typically appear as homogeneously anechoic or hypoechoic masses
- They should not be confused with cystic lesions
- They may render an appearance like muscles, may be lobulated and may show vascularity on color Doppler interrogation. On ultrasonography, desmoid tumors appear as well-defined lesions with variable echogenicity. The lateral borders may appear ill defined or irregular.[1]
