Diagnostic algorithm for initial imaging diagnosis of a STT



It must be emphasized – however – that this summary is by no way exhaustive or exclusive. The diversity and rarity of soft tissue tumors demand for a tailored approach of each lesion, dependent of tumor characteristics.


Key Points




  1. 1.


    Clinical information is of utmost importance in the diagnosis of STTs.

     

  2. 2.


    Initial imaging evaluation of a patient presenting with a superficial STT starts with Doppler ultrasound. Plain films (or CT) may provide complementary information by showing soft tissue calcification and bone involvement.
