Grayscale ultrasound exhibited well\u2010defined, homogeneous hypoechoic masses with posterior acoustic enhancement and oval or ellipsoid morphology. A distinct capsule was observed in three cases. Color Doppler imaging demonstrated low intralesional vascularity, with four lesions classified as Adler Grade 1 and one as Grade 2. Spectral Doppler demonstrated high\u2010resistance arterial flow (resistive index, 0.69\u20130.81).
