Imaging in retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Patients with retroperitoneal sarcoma can present to a variety of clinicians with non-specific symptoms and retroperitoneal sarcomas can be incidental findings. Failure to recognize retroperitoneal sarcomas on imaging can lead to inappropriate management in non-specialist centers. Therefore it is critical that the possibility of retroperitoneal sarcoma should be considered with prompt referral to a soft tissue sarcoma unit. This review guides clinicians through a diagnostic pathway, introduces concepts in response assessment and new imaging developments.

Evaluation of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Tumors Electrical Conductivity Anisotropy Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Numerical Modeling on Electroporation
Introduction: There is many ways to assessing the electrical conductivity anisotropyof a tumor. Applying the values of tissue electrical conductivity anisotropyis crucial in numerical modeling of the electric and thermal field distribution in electroporationtreatments. This study aims to calculate the tissues electrical conductivityanisotropy in patients with sarcoma tumors using diffusion tens...
متن کاملRetroperitoneal extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma with renal involvement: US and MRI findings.
A case of retroperitoneal extraosseous Ewing's sarcoma (EES) with renal involvement, which simulated an exophytic renal mass, is reported. EES is a rare soft tissue tumor that can occur anywhere in the soft tissues, but is seen most commonly in the extremities. Although EES is histologically similar to osseous Ewing's sarcoma, it is usually found in older patients. EES should be included in the...

متن کاملUnusual Presentation of Synovial Sarcoma as Meniscal Cyst: A Case Report
Periarticular cyst and cystic soft tissue lesion around the knee are common. Synovial sarcoma is a rare and malignant soft tissue tumor accounting for approximately 5% of soft tissue sarcoma. A case is presented where a lesion adjacent to the joint line of the knee was diagnosed clinically and on imaging as a meniscal cyst. MRI signal was homogenous and no concomitant meniscal tears were seen...
