Choice of modality
- In adults:
- CT of the abdomen and pelvis is generally the first investigation of choice, with a general screening with particular focus on tumors and cysts.
- Ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis can be considered in at least younger adults when a palpable mass is believed to originate from a certain organ or in the abdominal wall.
- In children:
- Ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis is generally the investigation of choice.[1]
- Nuclear scintigraphy, CT and MRI are used for malignant or complicated cases.[1]
