Description
Computed tomography was performed in 37 patients with primary soft tissue tumours (24 malignant and 13 benign lesions). Except for lipomas it was not possible to relate attenuation values to histologic type or grade of malignancy. Major advantages with CT include the ability to demonstrate infiltration of surrounding structures and to determine tumour size. There is a risk of overestimating the size of malignant tumours because of peritumoural edema. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
37 Patienten mit primaeren Weichteiltumoren des Bewegungsapparates (24 maligne und 13 benigne Laesionen) wurden mittels Computertomographie untersucht. Abgesehen von den Lipomen bestand keine Korrelation zwischen CT-Dichte und Histologie oder Malignitaetsgrad der Laesion. Hauptvorteile der Computertomographie sind der Nachweis eines infiltrativen Wachstums und die praeoperative Groessenbestimmung der Laesion. Wegen des peritumoralen Oedems besteht die Gefahr der Groessenueberschaetzung maligner Laesionen. (orig.)Additional details
