Based on a vast number of cases seen at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology and the Mayo Clinic, this volume is a comprehensive reference on the radiologic evaluation of soft tissue tumors. The book covers the entire spectrum of soft tissue pathologies, with over 1,400 images showing common and atypical appearances. The authors discuss the relative utility of all imaging modalities in assessing each lesion.
This edition features expanded coverage of masses that mimic tumors, more illustrations of each lesion, and information on recently described tumors. Coverage of each lesion begins with boxed summaries of key clinical and radiologic points and charts showing anatomic locations and patient demographics.
