MR imaging of fibroma of the tendon sheath.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of our study was to describe the MR imaging characteristics of fibroma of the tendon sheath.


CONCLUSIONS
The diagnosis of fibroma of the tendon sheath can be suggested when MR imaging reveals a focal nodular mass adjacent to a tendon sheath with decreased signal on all pulse sequences and little or no enhancement.
