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, and ill defined/irregular borders. On color Doppler, desmoids appear like muscles, may be lobulated and may show vascularity. Plain radiographs and angiography may be of diagnostic help in some cases.
Other Imaging Findings
- Following different imaging modalities can be helpful in diagnosis of desmoid tumors:[1][2]
| Imaging modality | Associated characteristic features |
|---|---|
| Ultrasonography |
|
| Color Doppler | Findings on color Doppler are as follows:
|
| Plain radiograph | Radiographs may show:
|
| Angiography | Angiography may show:
