title: Mesenchymal tumours of the thorax: CT findings and pathological features.
abstract: Mesenchymal tumours of the thorax are uncommon and may originate from the muscle, bone, cartilage, vessel, nerves, fat and fibrous tissue. These tumours occur at different sites including the lung, pleura, mediastinum or chest wall. Mesenchymal tumours tend to show protean and non-specific imaging characteristics. However, in some instances, the imaging characteristics of the tumour may allow a specific diagnosis to be made, such as with lipoid or vascular tumours.
