Overview
Diagnosis
US
Fibromas most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with sound attenuation; however, the US appearance is variable.
CT
Fibromas manifest as diffuse, slightly hypoattenuating masses with poor, very slow contrast enhancement.
MRI
Fibromas demonstrate homogeneous, relatively low signal intensity on T1-weighted MR images. On T2-weighted images, fibromas appear as well-circumscribed masses with low signal intensity containing scattered high-signal-intensity areas representing edema or cystic degeneration.
