The purpose of this study is to define the magnetic resonance(MR)imaging characteristics of extraabdominal fibromatosis. We retrospectively evaluated the MR images of 21 lesions (10 primary tumors and 11 recurrent ones)of histopathologically proven fibromatoses in 17 patients. Half the primary tumors and all the recurrent ones demonstrated infiltrating margins. Most lesions showed homogeneous or heterogeneous intermediate to high signal intensity (SI) on T1-weighted images (T1WI), homogeneous or heterogeneous high SI on T2/T2*-weighted images (T2/T2*WI), homogeneous or heterogeneous marked enhancement on post-contrast T1WI with fat suppression, and linear and/or dot-like fibrotic low-signal areas on all pulse sequences. None of the lesions had surrounding edema. While tumor involvement, either replacement or displacement, of the adjacent muscle was evident, no significant differences were noted between the primary and recurrent tumors. Few lesions showed neurovascular encasement or bone involvement. In conclusion, extraabdominal found in malignant tumors. However, the presence of intermediate to high SI on T1WI,lineaar and/or dot-like fibrotic low-signal areas with in the high-signal lesions on T2/T2*WI, and marked enhancement on post-contrast t1WI with fat suppression can narrow the differential diagnosis of fibromatoses. |
