  • Title: [Sonographic and Doppler color sonographic findings in osteosarcoma].
    Author: Wild F, Erhardt J, Beck JD, Deeg KH, Stehr K.

    Abstract:
    Till now bone tumors are diagnosed radiologically. In this paper we describe the characteristic sonographic and colour Doppler sonographic features in 5 patients with histologically confirmed osteosarcoma. A large soft tissue tumor with echogenic osteosclerotic areas and echo-free caverns could be shown in all patients. Characteristic signs were destructions of the cortical layer and reactions of the periosteum. Compared to normal tissue an increased number of blood vessels with increased blood flow were visible by colour coded Doppler sonography in the region of the tumor. Sonography and colour coded Doppler sonography are important additions of conventional radiology to describe the structure, extension and blood supply of an osteosarcoma.
