Characteristic contrast-enhanced MRI findings of nodular fasciitis and their chronological change
In this cohort, type 4b was observed in nodular fasciitis and not in the malignant controls evaluated; specificity beyond this control spectrum remains unknown and requires external validation. The temporal evolution from type 4b to other patterns was variable, potentially explaining the previously reported heterogeneity in MRI findings. Follow-up imaging may help explain the variability in reported MRI appearances.
