Abstract
In this chapter, we covered imaging findings and clinical manifestations of soft tissue disorders excluding inflammatory conditions. Soft tissue inflammatory disorders with/without infectious causes are covered elsewhere in this textbook. Soft tissue disorders are largely described in this chapter largely categorized as nonneoplastic and neoplastic diseases. As for nonneoplastic disorders, calcification, ossification, local and generalized vascular lesions, and compartment syndrome are discussed and/or illustrated. Brief description and illustrations on neoplastic disorders for both benign (fibromatosis colli, infantile myofibromatosis, nodular fasciitis, neurogenic tumor, lipoblastoma, pilomatricoma) and malignant (rhabdomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, infantile fibrosarcoma, and the other relatively rare malignant soft tissue tumors) neoplasm will follow.
