Magnetic resonance imaging of malignant soft tissue neoplasms in the adult.
This review addresses the spectrum of malignant soft tissue tumors frequently found in adults. Rather than presenting a complete review, the focus of this discussion is on common lesions or lesions in which the diagnosis may be suggested on the basis of imaging. Diagnoses covered include undifferentiated high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, clear cell sarcoma, hemangioendothelioma, hemangiopericytoma, angiosarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma.
