Clinical History: 25-year old man with dysuria for 3 weeks Diagnosis: Prostatic sarcoma MR Technique: Prostatic imaging was performed on a 3T MR system. (A) Sagittal T2-weighted TSE (TR/TE 7500/104ms), (B) coronal T2-weighted TSE (TR/TE 7354/104ms), and (C) axial T2-weighted TSE (TR/TE 7440/101) were acquired prior to the administration […]

Clinical history: 52-year old man with left thigh mass Diagnosis: Myxofibrosarcoma Imaging techniques: Imaging of the left thigh was performed on a 3T MR system (Skyra, Siemens) and 64-MDCT (GE). (A) Coronal T2-weighted TIRM (TR/TE 3000/38), (B) sagittal T2-weighted TIRM (TR/TE 3000/38ms), (C) axial T1-weighted TSE (TR/TE 700/11ms), and (D) T2-weighted TSE […]

Contrast-enhanced MR imaging is a particularly sensitive method for detecting soft-tissue masses, providing as well precise localization and definition of extent. In his case report, G. Hadjidekov et al. (Sofia, Bulgaria) presents a rare immunodeficiency disorder known as Job’s syndrome. The case shows the usefulness of MRI to analyze skin disorders and deeper soft-tissue masses in various locations.

Tumor imaging can be daunting, given the high stakes involved with a missed diagnosis or mis-diagnosis resulting in unnecessary further investigations, biopsies or even surgeries. In their article Marcus Pianta, Mark Lourensz et al. (St. Vincent’s Hospital, Fitzroy, Australia) describe their routine imaging protocol targeted to bone and soft tissue lesions, describe reporting and what the referring physicians need to know.
