OBJECTIVE: To analyse the image characteristics of fibro-adipose vascular anomaly (FAVA) and the value of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for its diagnosis.
METHODS: The clinical and imaging data characteristics of 10 patients with FAVA admitted to our hospital between January 2018 and December 2020 who underwent ultrasound and MRI diagnosis were retrospectively analysed.
RESULTS: A total of 10 patients (six males and four females) with pathologically confirmed FAVA, aged from 3 to 27 years (median: 13 years), underwent ultrasound and MRI; of these, two patients underwent MRI-enhanced examinations. All lesions involved mainly muscle, with a few disruptions and involvements of subcutaneous fat. Five cases were located subcutaneously near the fascia; one case was adjacent to the periosteum. Ultrasound showed fascial tail in seven cases, and MRI showed fascial tail in six cases. Both ultrasound and MRI showed the lesions to be oval-shaped masses with blurred borders and a mean maximum diameter of 99.8 ± 48.7 mm. Ultrasound showed a mass with a mixture of high and low echoic areas. Magnetic resonance imaging imaging showed a heterogeneous, mixed-signal intensity on T1-weighted images, probably influenced by the fibrous and fatty components of the lesion. T2-weighted images showed a mixed-high signal. Enhanced computed tomography scans showed significant heterogeneous enhancement of the lesions.
CONCLUSION: Both ultrasound and MRI showed that fascial tail sign is an important imaging feature for FAVA disease; this provides a reliable basis for its diagnosis and can be used to distinguish it from venous malformations, which have no fascial tail signs. Therefore, fascial tail signs can be used as imaging features and require special attention in the diagnosis of FAVA disease.
