An ultrasound examination was performed and demonstrated a large mass of heterogeneous echogenicity with smooth, sharply defined margins in the left antero- lateral abdominal wall (Figure 1). Preoperative CT scan images revealed a well-circumscribed, large mass (9 × 8 × 6 cm) of attenuation ...
The latter comprises cryotherapy, radiofrequency, microwave ablation, or thermal ablation with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as the only entirely non-invasive option. This report presents a case where a desmoid tumor at the left dorsal humerus was 2 times surgically resected and, after ...
So I had to have an ultrasound on it to determine what kind of lump it was and it was just a cyst. My doctor said, just like this desmoid tumor that they don't know where the cysts come from but they are not harmful. I wonder what difference there is between a desmoid tumor and...
REPORT Open Access Desmoid tumor of the pancreas: a case report Żaneta Słowik-Moczydłowska1*, Robert Rogulski1, Anna Piotrowska1, Jadwiga Małdyk2, Przemysław Kluge3 and Andrzej Kamiński1 Abstract Introduction: Desmoid tumor is a rare, benign, usually asymptomatic fibromatous lesion. ...
Magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has emerged as an alternative to conventional therapies, showing promising results in reduction of tumor volume without significant side effects. The gold-standard assessment of the reduction of viable tumor volume post-treatment is non-perfused ...

Desmoid tumor is a rare, benign, usually asymptomatic fibromatous lesion. The etiology is unknown and the diagnosis is based on histopathological examination. The treatment is complete resection of the tumor. Pancreatic desmoid tumor is extremely rare. In the literature there have been only 11 cases...
Mammography and breast ultrasound revealed a heterogeneous, partially well-limited mass. MRI confirmed the presence of a mass infiltrating the lower part of the major pectoralis muscle, measuring 50 × 25 mm in size and 27.4 cm3 in volume (Fig. 1a). Fig. 1 Tumor evolution on MRI. a–...
Desmoid-type fibromatosis (DF) is a fibrous tumor characterized by low-grade malignant and easy invasive growth and high recurrence. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy has been identified as a novel non-invasive approach for DF treatment; however, the ultrasonic energy generated by HIF...
Preoperative ultrasound examination was performed and revealed an irregular, ill-circumscribed mass in the right renal hilum; computed tomography (CT) scan images (Fig. 1) showed an ill-defined soft-tissue mass in right renal hilum encasing almost the entire renal vein, the middle section of ...
