Evaluation of soft tissue tumours has undergone a dramatic change with the advent of ultrasonography(USG),magnetic resonance(MR)imaging and computed tomography (CT). Patients are referred for imaging to evaluate a soft tissue lesions in the trunk or extremities.These lesions range from non-neoplastic conditions to benign and malignant tumours. The primary goal for the imaging referral is to confirm the presence of a mass and to assess its extent. And also the study is an attempt to define the role of different imaging modalities in the evaluation of patients with soft tissue tumours in correlation with histopathology.
