Differential table for Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT).

Ultrasound CT PET/CT MRI Enhancement Pattern
Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor Heterogeneous, lobular mass Heterogeneous, lobular masses, tumor calcification occurs in 55% Multiple nodular foci of metabolic activity in masses Heterogeneous of variable signal intensity Heterogeneous
Neuroblastoma Heterogeneous, hypoechoic mass Low attenuation, heterogeneously enhancing mass, causes displacement FDG avid mass Heterogeneous, variably enhancing with low T1 and high T2 signal intensity Heterogeneous, depending on degree of hemorrhage/necrosis
Rhabdomyosarcoma Heterogeneous mass Heterogeneous, lobulated mass FDG avid mass T1 intermediate with T2 intermediate to high signal intensity Heterogeneous, depending on degree of hemorrhage/necrosis
Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumor Heterogeneous, lobular mass Heterogeneous, lobular masses, tumor, calcification is rare Multiple nodular foci of metabolic activity in masses Heterogeneous of variable signal intensity Significant enhancement which can be homogeneous or heterogeneous
Peritoneal Leiomyo-sarcomatosis Multiple, well defined masses Multiple, well defined masses Multiple nodular foci of metabolic activity in masses Multiple, well defined masses. Heterogeneous enhancement, lower in attenuation than normal myometrium.
