Overview
On CT scan rhabdomyosarcoma is characterized by soft tissue density, enhancement with contrast, and adjacent bone destruction.
CT
On CT scan, rhabdomyosarocma is characterized by:
- Soft tissue density.
- Some enhancement with contrast.
- Adjacent bony destruction seen in over 20% of cases.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of biliary tract
- CT may show a heterogenous or hypo-attenuating mass with biliary ductal dilatation.
Rhabdomyosarcoma of the orbit
- Rhabdomyosarcomas are typically well-circumscribed, homogeneous soft tissue masses which are isodense to normal muscle.[1]
- The mass may extend into the eyelid or through bone into the paranasal sinuses (especially the ethmoid sinus) and superiorly into the anterior cranial fossa.
Cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma
- CT may show a smooth or irregular low-attenuation mass in a cardiac chamber.
