MRI, as is the case with other soft tissue tumours, is more sensitive to local tumour extension. Their appearance is accounted for by their dense cellularity.

Overview

Abdominal MRI may be diagnostic of desmoid tumor. On MRI, desmoid tumor is characterized by dense cellularity and loss of signal following fat saturation.[1]

MRI

Abdominal MRI may be diagnostic of desmoid tumor. Its appearance is characterized by their dense cellularity. Typical signal characteristics include:[1]

MRI Component Features
T1​
  • low signal intensity
T1 C+ (Gd)
  • may show homogeneous, inhomogeneous, or no significant enhancement
T2
  • low signal intensity
  • MRI of desmoid tumor[2]

    MRI of desmoid tumor[2]
