Imaging of Soft Tissue Tumors

  • 194 Accesses

Abstract

Lipomatous tumors are common mesenchymal lesions that can be both benign or malignant. There is a wide range of histological subtypes, the lipoma being the most frequent of them. Some tumors, including lipoma and some types of liposarcoma, will display typical features which allow a specific diagnosis to be made [73, 74, 123]. In the following discussion, only the subdivisions of lipomatous tumors that arise in the soft tissues of the body will be considered.
