Radiological Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Tumors in Adults: MRI Imaging of Selected Entities Delineating Benign and Malignant Tumors. / Radiologische Diagnostik von Weichteiltumoren im Erwachsenenalter: MRT-Bildgebung ausgewählter Entitäten mit Abgrenzung zwischen benignen und malignen Tumoren.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: MRI is the most important and sensitive imaging modality in the differentiation of unclear soft tissue tumors. A systematic approach helps to narrow down the large number of possible differential diagnoses. METHOD: Our review systematically compares MRI characteristics of the major soft-tissue masses and aims to gain access to these often difficult tumor entities. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: MRI, as the most important modality in the imaging of soft tissue tumors, allows a more detailed classification of the tumor entity and in many cases a differentiation between benign and malignant masses. KEY POINTS · MRI is the method of choice for classifying unclear soft tissue tumors.. · A systematic approach may differentiate benign from unclear lesions.. · In cases of doubt, a biopsy should be performed to rule out malignancy..
