Overview

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroma. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of fibroma include solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.

Ultrasound

On ultrasound, fibromas most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.

Ovarian Fibroma

On ultrasound, ovarian fibroma most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation. As such, they may appear similar to a pedunculated subserosal uterine fibroid. However, the sonographic appearance can be variable and some tumors can rarely have cystic components.[1][2][3][4]
