Overview

MRI is used for for evaluation of primary tumor and its invasion. MRI is used for diagnosis of primary location of rhabdomyosarcoma located in Head and neck, Paraspinal, parameningeal regions, Extremities, and Pelvic tumors. MRI features in rhabdomyosarcoma are characterized by low to intermediate intensity on T1, hyperintense on T2, and considerable contrast enhancement on T1 contrast.

MRI

  • MRI is used for for evaluation of primary tumor and its invasion.[1]
  • MRI is used for diagnosis of primary location of rhabdomyosarcoma located in:[2][3]
    • Head and neck
    • Paraspinal
    • parameningeal regions
    • Extremities
    • Pelvic tumors
  • MRI findings or rhabdomyosarcoma are:[4]
    • T1:
      • Low to intermediate intensity
      • Hemorrhage areas are poresent in alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma
    • T2:
      • Hyperintense
      • Prominent flow voids are present in extremity lesions of rhabdomyosarcoma
    • T1 C+ (Gd):
      • Considerable enhancement

MRI shows a large and irregular soft tissue mass in medial aspect of the right buttock that is centered on muscle, but crosses into the subcutaenous fat. It is T2 hyperintense, diffusion restricts and enhances peripherally following contrast.Source: Case courtesy of Dr Jeremy Jones, from Radiopedia
