Overview

MRI may be performed to detect metastases of epithelioid sarcoma and to determine anatomic boundaries.

Key Findings in Epithelioid sarcoma

  • MRI is the diagnostic modality of choice for imaging prior to biopsy and pathologic diagnosis, with the primary role being the determination of anatomic boundaries.
  • MRI helps to differentiate tumor recurrence from post-operative changes.[1]
  • Findings include:
    • On T2/fluid sequences, the mass is typically hyperintense with areas of central necrosis and surrounding edema.
    • There is usually heterogeneous enhancement, often with areas of necrosis.
    • A characteristic finding, is propagation along fascial planes, tendon sheaths and nerves.
