  • Title: [Significance of angiographic diagnosis in soft tissue tumors of the extremities].
    Author: Basche S, Kachel R, Ritter H, Banzhaf E.
    Journal: Arch Geschwulstforsch; 1982; 52(6):499-503. PubMed ID: 7159187.
    Abstract:
    Diagnostic angiography was carried out in 50 soft tissue tumors--23 benign and 27 malignant--of the extremities. All of the malignant tumours could be diagnosed correctly. We obtained false positive results in 2 benign tumours and in 5 inflammatory processes. These cases showed several criteria of malignancy. Angiographic diagnosis is important for the definition of the place of excision for histological examination. Combined use of angiography and computed tomography seems to be the optimal diagnostic procedure in the pre-operative phase.
