title: [Active and passive vascular involvement in tumours and tumour-like processes in the extremities (author's transl)].
abstract: Angiography for tumours of the extremities may demonstrate active or passive involvement of vessels by the tumour. This technique has been used for a considerable time for the diagnosis and differentiation of bone tumours. Angiography is particularly suitable for distinguishing between benign and malignant tumours of soft tissues. Non-neoplastic space-occupying lesions which can be elucidated by angiography include aneurysms, haematomas, inflammatory processes and abscesses.
