Abstract

Desmoplastic fibroblastoma is a rare, fibrous, soft-tissue tumor that usually arises in subcutaneous tissues and skeletal muscle at various anatomic sites. We report a case of desmoplastic fibroblastoma in a 33-year-old female presented with a palpable mass in her right arm. Ultrasound images showed a hypoechoic mass lesion with internal vascularity. Magnetic resonance (MR) images showed areas of heterogeneously with high and low signal intensity on T2-weighted images, and intense enhancement on postcontrast T1-weighted images. Histopathologic examination of the resected specimen confirmed desmoplastic fibroblastoma.

결합조직형성섬유아세포종은, 보통 다양한 부위의 피하조직 또는 근육조직에서 생기는 드문 섬유성 연조직 종양이다. 저자들은 우측 상완부의 만져지는 종괴를 주소로 내원한 33세 여자 환자를 검사하였다. 초음파 검사에서 내부의 혈류를 보이는 저에코의 종양이 있었다. 자기공명영상 검사에서는 T2 강조영상에서 불균질한 고신호와 저신호강도를 보였으며 조영증강 T1 강조영상에서 강한 조영증강을 보였다. 종괴는 조직병리학 검사에서 결합조직형성섬유아세포종으로 확진되었으며 저자들은 결합조직형성섬유아세포종의 자기공명영상 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
