Abstract:
Clinical evaluation of the definite size and extension of malignant skin- and soft tissue tumors is limited. Ultrasound provides a first orientation of tumor size and differentiates between solid and cystic lesions. Conventional Radiographs prove or rule out bone or periostial involvement and endotumoral calcification. If further diagnostic workup is needed MRI is the method of choice for defining the exact tumor topography, size and the affected compartments as well as the involvement of cancellous bone and bone marrow.
