Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Because of the slow flow in the venous spaces of large-vessel hemangiomas, demonstration of color flow signals with conventional color Doppler or power Doppler sonography may be difficult. We report the case of a 22-year-old female patient with a soft tissue tumor containing multiple fluid-filled spaces in the right supraclavicular region. Gray-scale, color, and power Doppler sonography could not differentiate between cystic lymphangioma and large-vessel hemangioma. The intravenous echo-enhancing contrast agent Levovist was administered, and a significant echo-enhancing effect on color and power Doppler imaging was demonstrated in the fluid-filled spaces and lasted for about 3 minutes. Histopathologic study of the excised tumor confirmed the sonographic diagnosis of hemangioma. Levovist appears useful in depicting slow flow in a large-vessel hemangioma. |
