Desmoid tumors are the commonest neoplasms of the abdominal wall and typically appear as homogeneously anechoic or hypoechoic masses. As such they should not be confused with cystic lesions. They may render an appearance like muscles, may be lobulated and may show vascularity on color Doppler interrogation.

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, and ill defined/irregular borders. On color Doppler, desmoids appear like muscles, may be lobulated and may show vascularity. Plain radiographs and angiography may be of diagnostic help in some cases.
