Computed tomography findings in dogs with soft tissue sarcomas
  • Dysmorphic vessels may be a strong predictor of Grade 3 sarcoma

Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that originate from mesenchymal cells. Imaging plays an important role in the assessment of the oncological stage of STSs. Computed tomography findings facilitate the identification of the tumor location and margins in relation to the surrounding anatomic boundaries and thereby enable preoperative planning of tumor management. The histological grade is among the most important parameters that affect tumor recurrence and metastasis rates. However, the prediction of STS histological grades using CT characteristics has not yet been elucidated. This study retrospectively investigated CT findings of patients with different STS grades for ...
