Overview
Abdominal MRI may be diagnostic of desmoid tumor. On MRI, desmoid tumor is characterized by dense cellularity and loss of signal following fat saturation.[1]
MRI
- MRI is required in order to:
- Define the relationship of the tumor to adjacent structures
- Assess resectability
- Find out the need for treatment
- MRI is preferred over CT, especially for truncal and extremity tumors
- MRI characteristics of desmoid tumors are variable depending on their cellularity and fibrous content:[1][2][3][4]
- T1-weighted images:
- Desmoids may be hypointense or isointense to muscle
- T2-weighted images:
- Predominantly hyperintense (T2 hyperintensity may diminish over time as tumor cellularity decreases and collagen deposition increases)
- Hypointense bands may be seen that represent dense collections of collagen bundles
- With gadolinium administration
- Desmoids typically show moderate to marked enhancement
- Hypointense bands may become more apparent because collagen bundles are not enhanced by contrast material
- T1-weighted images:
-
