  • Title: Abdominal wall desmoid mimicking intra-abdominal mass: MR features.
    Author: Ichikawa T, Koyama A, Fujimoto H, Honma M, Saiga T, Matsubara N, Ozeki Y, Uchiyama G, Ohtomo K.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging; 1994; 12(3):541-4. PubMed ID: 8007785.
    Abstract:
    A case of abdominal wall desmoid which enlarged toward the liver and mimicked an intra-abdominal tumor is presented. T*2-weighted MR images clearly demonstrated the tumor's continuity with the rectus abdominis muscle. The case presented suggests MRI may provide more valuable information concerning the origin of a right-upper-quadrant mass than CT does. However, the nature of the signals and attachment which this case showed were so unusual for desmoids that this case has not been diagnosed accurately.
