Ultrasonography in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumours.
The diagnosis of soft tissue tumours by the traditional instrumental methods often creates problems. Indeed, it is fairly difficult to make an accurate pre-operative diagnosis of a neoplasm of the soft tissues. The authors therefore employed ultrasonography to investigate 29 soft tissue tumours. They consider that ultrasonic assessment can make a valuable contribution to diagnosis in this type of pathology and provide information about the benign or malignant character of the neoplasm.
