Plantar fibromatosis: Most common sonographic appearance and variations

The aim of this study was to describe the most common sonographic appearances of plantar fibromatosis, thus enabling sonographic diagnosis of this benign, focally invasive fibrous neoplasm.

Fibromatosis Colli Presenting as an Infantile Neck Mass: Sonographic Appearances in Two Patients

How this condition can be diagnosed by careful clinical history taking and using ultrasound as the imaging tool is described, and the variations of sonographic appearances of fibromatosis colli are highlighted.

A 6-week-old girl who presented with a swelling on the left side of her neck, opposite to usual tendencies, and a magnetic resonance imaging was needed to ascertain the final diagnosis of a left fibromatosis colli.

[Diagnosis of fibromatosis colli via color-coded duplex sonography in 13 infants].

D diagnosis of fibromatosis colli can be affirmed sonographically and the tumors are commonly located in the distal 2 / 3 of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and show good delineation from surrounding structures.

Diagnosis of fibromatosis colli by fine‐needle aspiration

There is support for the idea that in this setting, the disorder is related to perinatal muscular trauma, and fine‐needle aspiration can provide a rapid and reliable diagnosis in fibromatosis colli.

The Presentation and Management of Fibromatosis Colli

It is recommended that early management of fibromatosis colli include observation and physiotherapy to prevent or reverse torticollis and the craniofacial asymmetry that can result.

Different stage of CMT patients had different sonographic characteristics, suggesting high-frequency and color Doppler ultrasonography can serve as adjunct confirmation tool for the diagnosis of C MT.

Imaging findings in fibromatosis colli must be differentiated from other causes of neck masses in this age group in order to prevent unwarranted therapeutic procedures.

Clinical characteristics and radiologic features of commonly encountered fibrous lesions of childhood, including presentation and variable appearance, are described and illustrated to help the radiologist in suggesting the diagnosis of fibromatosis.

Congenital muscular torticollis: a spectrum of pathology.

The condition will resolve spontaneously in the majority of patients by the age of 1 year, and if the condition has not resolved by then, it is unlikely to do so without surgery, so surgery should be postponed until after 1 year of age.

Congenital torticollis: Evaluation by fine‐needle aspiration biopsy

It is concluded that fine‐needle aspiration provides a fast and accurate diagnosis of neck masses in infants who have congenital torticollis, thereby avoiding surgical procedures in this very young age group.

Sonography of neck masses in children.

The sonograms and medical records of 49 patients were reviewed to determine if there is a characteristic sonographic appearance for certain neck masses, and the presence of calcification highly suggests a neoplastic lesion, particularly neuroblastoma or teratoma.

It is concluded that whatever the condition in the muscle at birth, it has three inconstant and variable sequelae: the torticollis may resolve completely; it may become clinically manifest as a tumour; or it may remain clinically latent, subsequently undergoing a variable degree of cicatrisation to produce tortiollis.
