Abstract
- A wide variety of superficial soft tissue masses may be seen in clinical practice and imaging modalities can be helpful in achievement of a definitive diagnosis or limit a differential diagnosis. Among them, ultrasonography is well suited for screening soft tissue masses because of its safety, low cost, and real-time dynamic imaging. The purpose of this article is to review the characteristic sonographic appearance of soft tissue masses in the extremities.
