[MRI features of expansive processes of soft tissues. Contribution to etiologic diagnosis. Apropos of 32 cases].
This study concerns the investigation of 32 soft-tissue tumors by MRI, subsequently verified by biopsies or surgery (n = 28) or other investigations (n = 4). MRI can suggest the diagnosis in some cases: lipomas cysts, hematomas, neuromas, desmoid tumors, hemangiomas, by contrast analysis and morphologic aspects; sometimes, malignant lesions are suspected on particular anatomic criteria. MRI is excellent in the evaluation of local extension. MRI can therefore be performed when the staging of soft tissue tumor is incompletely provided by other investigations (CT or US).
