Review of Soft Tissue Masses of the Foot and Ankle: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features

A large number of soft tissue masses affect the foot and ankle, with the majority being benign. Benign and malignant soft tissue lesions usually present as lumps, and it is important to differentiate between them to allow for optimal management. Imaging, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI...

Sumario:A large number of soft tissue masses affect the foot and ankle, with the majority being benign. Benign and malignant soft tissue lesions usually present as lumps, and it is important to differentiate between them to allow for optimal management. Imaging, in particular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can contribute to narrow the differential diagnosis of soft tissue masses of the foot and ankle by describing its exact location, internal signal characteristics, presence of enhancement, and its relation to adjacent structures. In this review, we review the literature to describe the most common soft tissue masses around the foot and ankle, focusing on the MRI features of the lesions.
