Leiomyosarcoma – Back Lump (Dorsal Wall Ultrasound)
Dorsal wll Ultrasound Case Study Case Study No: R-33


Dorsal Wall Ultrasound


Technique: Real-time ultrasound examination of the dorsal wall was performed using a high-frequency linear transducer (7–12 MHz). Detailed grayscale and Doppler assessment of the posterior soft tissue structures was carried out in longitudinal and transverse planes.
Clinical indication: Progressive dorsal wall swelling / Pain / Suspicion of aggressive soft tissue neoplasm.


Location: Large soft tissue lesion is noted along the right lateral dorsal wall, involving the deep soft tissue and intermuscular plane.

Soft Tissue Mass: An ill-defined heterogeneous predominantly hypoechoic mass is identified measuring approximately 7.2 × 4.5 cm. The lesion demonstrates irregular infiltrative margins with extension into adjacent soft tissue structures. Internal Characteristics: Areas of internal necrosis are noted within the lesion. Marked heterogeneity of internal echotexture is present. Vascularity: Moderate to marked internal vascularity is demonstrated on Doppler imaging. Adjacent Structures: Infiltration into adjacent soft tissue and intermuscular planes is noted. No definite calcification is identified on current sonographic evaluation.


Impression: Features are suspicious for leiomyosarcoma involving the dorsal wall soft tissues.

Recommendation: Urgent MRI is recommended for staging and assessment of local extent. Histopathological confirmation is essential. Oncological referral is advised.


Kindly Note:

Limitations / Technical Factors:
Ultrasound evaluation has limited capability in assessing the complete extent of deep soft tissue tumors and adjacent osseous involvement.
MRI correlation is recommended for comprehensive staging and treatment planning.
