Abstract:
In doubtful clinical diagnosis, ultrasound investigation may represent a workable diagnostic means in revealing the nature of soft tissue alterations, as will be demonstrated by 6 clinical examples; in all cases a wrong clinical diagnosis delayed the necessary therapy and possibly deteriorated the prognosis of disease. In these patients correction of the clinical diagnosis was of decisive importance for consecutive diagnostics and therapy.
