Histopathology is the gold standard for establishing the diagnosis and grade of soft tissue tumours; also radiology-pathology correlation is very important to avoid any diagnostic faults. Imaging helps in localizing the mass and the characterization , staging, and assessment of treatment response of the tumour. It also aids in differentiating the tumour (like hematoma, abscess, ganglia, bursae, tenosynovitis, and myositis) from true neoplasms. Radiography is commonly used in the initial evaluation (especially in extremities) and can show calcification, lucency (corresponding to fat), and associated bony changes. Ultrasound is preferred as an initial investigation for superficially located lesions due to its easy availability, good spatial and contrast resolution, ability to differentiate solid from cystic lesions, and ability to show internal morphology and vascularity. It can even help to characterize some of the soft tissue tumours and differentiate benign from malignant tumours with reasonable accuracy. CT is frequently employed in the evaluation of lesions located in the head and neck, mediastinum, and retroperitoneum. MRI is the imaging gold standard and modality of choice for the evaluation of soft tissue tumours. Based on the age, location, MR signal intensity and morphology, the radiologist may suggest a narrow list of differential diagnoses.
