title: [The value of magnetic resonance imaging in the surveillance of fibromatosis. A study of 10 cases].
abstract: Retrospective study of 10 patients followed for fibromatosis after initial treatment by magnetic resonance imaging. There is a close correlation between an intense signal on weighted T2 images and tumour recurrence. Inversely, a low signal on the weighted T2 image indicated fibrotic sequelae without tumour recurrence. The examination should commence with the weighted T2 sequence. The injection of contrast medium may be an alternative.
