  • Title: The value of computerised tomography in the differential diagnosis of lipoma and liposarcoma in the limbs.
    Author: Baldini N, Toni A, Sudanese A, Tigani D, Martinelli C.
    Journal: Ital J Orthop Traumatol; 1986 Jun; 12(2):239-44. PubMed ID: 3793462.
    Abstract:
    When confronted by a soft tissue neoplasm it is necessary to ask, before operation, whether it is malignant or benign. In this study of 6 cases of lipoma and 8 cases of liposarcoma of the limbs, the authors show that with the aid of computerised tomography the differential diagnosis can be made with certainty, based on densitometric evaluation.
