title: MR imaging of soft-tissue masses in children.
abstract: Soft-tissue tumors represent a relatively common problem in the pediatric age group. The MR imaging of these masses is an important part of the evaluation. The heterogeneous appearance of the various tumors makes biopsy necessary in all but the absolutely characteristic lesions. The nonspecific tumors and the "Aunt Minnies" are characterized in this article.
