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. with ill defined/irregular borders. On color Doppler, desmoids appear like muscles, may be lobulated and may show vascularity.
