AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2010 Aug;195(2):446-53. doi: 10.2214/AJR.09.3846.

Abstract

Objective: The objective of this article is to illustrate the sonographic findings of malignant, vascularized superficial soft-tissue masses and their look-alikes.

Conclusion: Radiologists need to be aware of the sonographic findings of malignant, vascularized superficial soft-tissue tumor findings and their look-alikes for the differential diagnosis and determining an optimal treatment plan.
