Ultrasound of Tumor-Like Formations of Soft Tissues with Duplex Scanning and Elastography
Abstract
The aim. To define the abilities of sonography with additional modalities in the differential diagnosis and characteristics of tumor-like masses for surgical treatment. Methods and materials. 201 patients (126 (62.7%) men and 75 (37.3%) women of age 20-75 years, mean age 39 ± 3.2 years) with tumor-like masses were sonographically examined using “Siemens Sonoline Omnia” and “Hitachi EUB7500” scanners with software for Duplex Scannig and Elastography. Linear multifrequency transducers (5-7.5 MHz) were used. All patients underwent ultrasound-guided needle biopsy followed by histological examination of material. Results. Tumor-like were detected: skin cysts and its appendages were found in 95 (47%) cases, ganglion cysts - in 66 (33%), organizing hematomas - in 39 (19.5%), parasitic cyst - in 1 (0.5%). 97.5% of patients with tumor-like soft tissue masses were operated on an outpatient basis. Conclusion. Sonography is a highly informative method allowing differential diagnosis tumor-like soft tissue masses and to select the type of treatment.
