The foot is a relatively uncommon site of tumors. It contains a large number of tissue types including tendons, plantar fascia, retinaculae and synovium, which correspond to the distribution of masses in this region. Vascular tumors also represent common soft-tissue masses of the foot. Ultrasound can confirm the presence of a suspected lesion and is an important adjunct to diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging is the modality of choice to define the depth and extent of a lesion, the tumor margins and to characterize lesions accurately.</p>Monday, 26 Oct 2009 16:16:22 GMT
