Abstract
Many malignant superficial soft tissue masses of the extremities in absence of any skin change may resemble clinically benign ones, presenting a diagnostic challenge.1 Superficial soft-tissue masses can generally be categorized as mesenchymal tumours, skin appendage lesions, metastatic tumours, other tumours and tumour-like lesions, or inflammatory lesions. The differential diagnosis may be limited further by considering the age of the patient, anatomic location of the lesion, characteristic imaging features, and clinical manifestations.2I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
