1Haj et al[23]2003Well-defined, homogeneous hypoechoic mass with an irregular border. No change in the rear echo.
2Kim et al[26] 2009Irregularly shaped, ill-defined, homogeneous hypoechoic mass, with anechogenic halo. CDFI: Moderate vascularity in the peripheral halo.
3Park et al[27] 2010Irregular, mostly hypoechoic, complex mass, with ill-defined margins and acoustic enhancement. CDFI: Increased vascular flow within the mass.
4Bosse et al[3] 2014A heterogeneous hypoechoic mass with irregular margins and indifferent acoustic shadowing. CDFI: Negative.
5Markopoulos et al[30]2015Heterogeneous and oval with an echogenic rim.
6Choi et al[31]2015Irregularly shaped, microlobulated, and hypoechoic, with combined posterior features. CDFI: Increased vascular flow to the peripheral portion.
7Inoue et al[35]2018Well-circumscribed, oval, and hypoechoic, with a central hyperechoic area.
8Mao et al[2]2018Irregularly shaped with unclear boundaries; the internal echo was heterogeneous with a strong fleck echo evident. CDFI: Limited blood flow signal.
9Present case2021Clear borders and smooth edges; the internal echo was heterogeneous, with scattered small fleck echo, and slightly enhanced rear echo. CDFI: Limited blood flow signal.
