Abstract
The US, Doppler and CT appearances in a patient with hemangiopericytom a of the greater omentum are presented. Ultrasound revealed a solid ma ss with heterogeneous echo pattern, well-defined margins and marked va scularity with low impedance flow (mean resistive index 0.42). The tum our was mobile. It was detected below the left kidney at the first US examination and had migrated into the pelvis 14 days later. At CT the tumour demonstrated strong but brief peripheral enhancement and a cent ral hypodense scar.
