Sonographic Evaluation of Fibromatosis (Aggressive Type) Using Color Doppler Interrogation

Fibromatosis refers to formation of a fibrous or tumor-like nodule or nodular swelling arising from fascia or connective tissue. The behavior of fibromatosis ranges from a self-limiting benign condition to the aggressive or recurrent type. No articles at this time have reported cases of aggressive fibromatosis emphasizing the use of color Doppler sonography for preoperative planning. The authors report two cases of aggressive fibromatosis interrogated with color Doppler imaging and magnetic resonance imaging that correlate with surgical findings.
