Is it a fibroid? Are you sure? Sonography with MRI assistance.

Abstract:

:Uterine fibroids are common benign lesions. Other common benign masses include renal cysts, renal angiomyolipomas, hepatic cysts, hepatic hemangiomas, thyroid cysts, adrenal incidentalomas, pulmonary granulomas and hamartomas, ovarian cysts, and dermoids. All these conditions, especially in asymptomatic patients, almost never have clinical significance. However, it is important to differentiate them from more sinister or even malignant lesions. In general, when a lesion is described as a fibroid, no further evaluation is performed. So if we say that a lesion is a fibroid, we have to be sure. Endometrial fibroids may mimic endometrial polyps or endometrial cancer. Subserous, especially pedunculated fibroids, may need further evaluation to differentiate them from ovarian pathology, colonic pathology, or even müllerian duct anomalies. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging may be helpful in these cases.
