Conclusion
Myxoid soft-tissue neoplasms comprehend a wide variety of tumours ranging from benign to malignant lesions,
with similar clinical and pathological features,
which can make diagnosis a real challenge.
Radiologists play an essential role in myxoid soft-tissue neoplasms diagnosis.
Therefore,
it is important to be acquaintance with the appearance of myxoid soft-tissue tumours in the different imaging studies,
emphasizing on specific imaging findings that may help differentiate benign and malignant lesions,
so as to narrow down the differential diagnosis and offer an accurate diagnosis if possible,
which will be of great value for the patients’ management.
MR is the imaging technique of choice,
but we should be able to lean on any technique to approximate diagnosis,
always keeping in mind histologic analysis will be needed most times.
