  • Title: [Computer tomography in primary soft tissue tumors].
    Author: Robotti G, Marincek B.
    Journal: Digitale Bilddiagn; 1984 Mar; 4(1):8-13. PubMed ID: 6232036.
    Abstract:
    Computed tomography was performed in 37 patients with primary soft tissue tumours (24 malignant and 13 benign lesions). Except for lipomas it was not possible to relate attenuation values to histologic type or grade of malignancy. Major advantages with CT include the ability to demonstrate infiltration of surrounding structures and to determine tumour size. There is a risk of overestimating the size of malignant tumours because of peritumoural edema.
