Basic Principles
..............................................................................................................
n
Sonographic definition of tumors: Primary organ tumors and metastases appear
as circumscribed lesions whose shape and echo pattern are characteristic of tumors. The normal architecture and echo pattern of the affected organ is altered or destroyed.
n
Sonographic appearance of tumors:
x
Benign and malignant tumors may have different malignancy criteria in differ­ent organs (e.g., an echopenic halo suggests metastasis in the liver but suggests a benign nodule in the thyroid gland).
x
Calcification and liquefaction may occur in both malignant and benign tumors.
x
Many types of tumor lack reliable criteria for malignancy.
n
Sonographically detectable organ changes: Some tumors are difficult to define
directly with ultrasound but may still be detected indirectly by their effects on the host organ. The changes in the host organ relate mainly to organ contours and echo patterns but may also involve blood vessels and tubular structures.
n
Associated findings: Tumors occasionally assume importance not by their pri-
mary site of occurrence or their host-organ effects but by their relationship to and effects on surrounding structures. They may produce clinical manifestations by the alteration of dynamic processes (e.g., intestinal peristalsis), the formation of abnormal fluids, the obstruction of blood flow or canalicular pathways, or by infiltrating adjacent organs.

Appearance of Tumors
..............................................................................................................
n
Shape:
x
Scalloped (pancreatic carcinoma; see Fig. 442, p. 304)
x
Round (HCC; see Fig. 351, p. 249)
x
Patchy (CCC; see Fig. 352, p. 250)
x
Polygonal, band-shaped, or target-shaped (colorectal carcinoma; see Fig. 663b, p. 441)
n
Echogenicity, arrangement:
x
Metastases are generally round and hypoechoic, but multiple metastases have a tendency to coalesce (e.g., hepatic metastases; see Fig.
x
Colorectal metastases are usually hyperechoic, often have a hypoechoic halo, and are more likely to be multiple than solitary (Fig.
x
Hemangiomas often have an identical appearance to metastases. A feeding ves­sel or intratumoral vessel can often be detected (but not in metastases; Fig.
665b).

Regressive changes:
x
Liquefaction: Foci of liquefaction may occur in benign and malignant tumors such as colorectal metastases (see Fig. metastases from breast carcinoma. Carcinoid metastases can even be identified by their extensive central anechoic zones and hyperechoic rim (see Fig. p. 440).
x
Calcifications:
Microcalcifications: may form in older hepatic metastases (Fig.
Fig.
665a) and in testicular and prostatic carcinomas (see Fig. 581, p. 391,
585, p. 393).
and Fig.
Macrocalcification: may form in colorectal metastases, renal carcinoma, pri-
mary hepatocellular carcinoma (Fig.
Regressive changes: may produce a “target sign” (hypoechoic–hyperechoic–
hypoechoic, Fig. sign” (Fig. adenomas, and renal carcinomas.
668), whereas central liquefaction produces a “bull ”s eye

Vascularity
..............................................................................................................
n
There are still no definitive sonographic criteria for the reliable benign–malignant differentiation of tumors. This probably relates to varying patterns of tumor angio­neogenesis and changes in the original organ vascularity. Attempts have been made to define typical malignancy criteria for specific organ tumors. To date, it has been possible to establish definite malignancy criteria for only a few tumor types. Examples are renal tumors and lymph nodes (see below).
n
Vascularization patterns in benign tumors:
x
Hepatic adenoma : hypervascular (see Fig. 349, p. 248)
x
Focal nodular hyperplasia: hypervascular with a typical spoked-wheel pattern (see Fig.

n
Vascularization patterns in malignant tumors: depend on the tumor type and
affected organ. There are no patterns of vascularity that are specific for a particular tumor (although hepatic tumors may show typical patterns in the various phases of contrast-enhanced sonography: early arterial, arterial, venous, and portal venous). Nevertheless, three vascularization patterns have been identified that are commonly associated with malignant tumors (after Tanaka):
x
Branching pattern (Figs. 671 and 672): observed in HCC and other tumors (e.g., lymph nodes, where the wheel pattern is also common)
x
Basket or wheel pattern (Fig. 672a): illustrated by hepatocellular carcinoma with peripheral vascularity

Spot-like pattern (Fig. 673; see also Fig. 661b, p. 440): This is the most com- monly seen pattern of angioneogenesis and is strongly suggestive of a malig­nant process.
