Overview
Other imaging findings of desmoid tumor include ultrasonography, which demonstrates tumor size and location. On ultrasonography, desmoid tumors appear as well-defined lesions with variable echogenicity. The lateral borders may appear ill defined or irregular.[1]
Other Imaging Findings
Ultrasonography
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. On ultrasonography, desmoid tumors appear as well-defined lesions with variable echogenicity. The lateral borders may appear ill defined or irregular.[1]
