Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroma. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of fibroma include solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.[1][1]
Ultrasound
On ultrasound, fibromas most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.[1][1]
Ovarian Fibroma
On ultrasound, ovarian fibromas most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation. As such, they may appear similar to a pedunculated subserosal uterine fibroid. However, the sonographic appearance can be variable and some tumours can rarely have cystic components.
Uterine Fibroma
- Ultrasound is used to diagnose the presence and monitor the growth of fibromas
- Uncomplicated leiomyomas are usually hypoechoic, but can be isoechoic, or even hyperechoic compared to normal myometrium
- Calcification is seen as echogenic foci with shadowing
- Cystic areas of necrosis or degeneration may be seen
