Abstract
|
|
|
|
| Plain films have a low sensitivity in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors or tumor-like conditions, but the presence of intralesional soft tissue calcification may be useful for tissue specific diagnosis. Mineralization in myositis ossificans follows a time-dependent centripetal pattern from the periphery toward the center. The mineralization pattern in extraskeletal osteosarcoma (ESO) is more amorphous and occurs from the center to the periphery. MR imaging and histology may simulate ESO in the early stage of myositis ossificans. Biopsy should be avoided in the early stage of myositis ossificans. The use of fat suppression may decrease conspicuity of accessory muscles. The presence of intralesional air may enhance the specificity of gas-forming infection and of necrotizing soft tissue infections. |
