"T1: isointense signal 12,13"
"T2: heterogeneous iso-to-high signal 12,13"
"Their exact aetiology remains uncertain, although they are frequently associated with previous trauma or surgical incision. On the molecular level, desmoids are characterised by mutations in the β-catenin gene, CTNNB1, or the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene 7."

"MRI, as is the case with other soft tissue tumours, is more sensitive to local tumour extension. Their appearance is accounted for by their dense cellularity with low signal non-enhancing bands (~75%; range 60-90%) 12,13 and a fascial tail sign (~70%) both commonly seen 13."
