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.
