Overview[edit | edit source]

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of fibroma. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of fibroma include solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.

Ultrasound[edit | edit source]

On ultrasound, fibromas most commonly manifest as solid, hypoechoic masses with ultrasound beam attenuation.

Ovarian Fibroma[edit | edit source]

On ultrasound, ovarian fibroma 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 tumors can rarely have cystic components.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Uterine Fibroma[edit | edit source]

Ultrasound is used to diagnose the presence and monitor the growth of fibromas.^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

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
