Abstract

Ultrasonography is commonly requested for evaluation of palpable soft-tissue masses of the extremities in children. Although malignancy is quite rare in these children, it remains a primary diagnostic concern. As a result, knowledge of the common and uncommon soft-tissue lesions as well as sonographic techniques for optimized evaluation are crucial for accurate assessment. This review describe the sonographic imaging appearance of the most commonly encountered superficial soft-tissue lesions at a tertiary academic pediatric hospital. Features of malignancy and findings warranting further evaluation such as lesion size, heterogeneity, vascularity and depth of involvement are also discussed.
