conclusion our preliminary results have shown that although there is some overlap between benign and malignant tumors, adding dwi, mr imaging to routine soft tissue tumor protocols may improve diagnostic accuracy. results there was only one patient with a malignant cystic tumor and was not included in the statistical analysis. the median adc values of benign and malignant tumors were 2.31 ± 1.2...

Lipofibromatous hamartoma (LFH) is a rare fibrofatty tumor of adipocytes within peripheral nerves, affecting mainly children. It typically presents as palpable mass surrounding the nerves upper limbs, causing pain and neurological deficits in affected nerve distribution.

Angiolipoma is a benign soft-tissue tumor which combines the morphological features of lipoma with those of hemangioma. The ratio of lipomatous and vascular components is variable, the latter reaching the highest percentage in the cellular variant of the tumor (1). It is important to distinguish this variant because cellular angiolipoma can have an infiltrative growth with a tendency toward loc...

Our case had many unusual features. The site of occurrence of this tumor in the mediastinum is exceedingly rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one more case has been described in the mediastinum. CD34 negativity on IHC is also uncom­ mon. The closest differential diagnosis in our case is the SFT. But in our case, the architectural pattern was typical of lipomatous hemangiopericytoma and wa...
