Sumario:The superficial soft tissue lesions are commonly discovered during routine clinical practice. However, their diagnosis can be challenging. Non-invasive imaging can differentiate the features of various superficial soft tissue lesions. Moreover, imaging-based evaluations can help guide treatment and surgical planning, evaluate tumor extension, and perform staging and follow-up. Novel imaging modalities and techniques have been developed to improve diagnostic performance and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions in vivo. The authors reviewed the literature to determine how ultrasound has been utilized to diagnose and treat superficial soft tissue lesions.
