Appendiceal mucocele pathologically classified as appendiceal epithelial hyperplasia and preoperatively diagnosed by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography: A case report

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography combined with superb microvascular imaging for preoperative diagnosis of sporadic intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis: A case report

“…This technique can reduce motion artifacts and simultaneously provide a high level of sensitivity and imaging resolution at a high frame rate [ 18 ]. The effect of SMI is further enhanced by combining it with contrast-enhanced US [ 10 ]. For preoperative diagnosis in the present case, it was necessary to differentiate between intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis and intra-abdominal metastasis of lung cancer because FDG-PET showed FDG accumulation within the tumor.…”

“…Intra-abdominal desmoid-type fibromatosis is usually diagnosed using abdominal computed tomography (CT) and/or abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [ 6 , 7 ]. Transabdominal ultrasonography (US) and contrast-enhanced US are also useful for diagnosing intra-abdominal lesions [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. These radiation-free modalities can be performed repeatedly and have excellent real-time performance.…”
