To evaluate and describe the sonographic characteristics of pathologically confirmed peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
Examined the ultrasound characteristics of pathologically proven peripheral nerve sheath tumors.
Assessed echogenicity, posterior acoustic enhancement, continuity with adjacent nerves, and vascularity using color Doppler sonography.
Peripheral nerve sheath tumors frequently appear hypoechoic with posterior acoustic enhancement, closely resembling ganglion cysts.
The identification of internal vascularity on color Doppler sonography and continuous alignment with a peripheral nerve strongly favors the diagnosis of a peripheral nerve sheath tumor.
Sonography cannot reliably distinguish between neurofibromas and schwannomas.
