title: Imaging of extremity soft tissue masses: pitfalls in diagnosis.
abstract: Soft tissue sarcomas are rare tumours which can be clinically difficult to differentiate from more common benign lesions. Imaging plays a fundamental role in diagnosis, but in some cases it can be difficult to differentiate benign from malignant conditions. This article reviews potential pitfalls in soft tissue sarcoma imaging.
