Abstract
BACKGROUND: Soft tissue sarcomas are most common mesenchymal malignancies in the abdomen. Their radiologic features are often unspecific and establishing a differential diagnosis to other pathologies can be difficult. OBJECTIVES: This review presents a selection of the most common mesenchymal abdominal tumors and their imaging characteristics, as well as the associated differential diagnoses. Knowledge of fundamental pathologic, anatomic and radiologic features of these malignancies is crucial for the differential diagnosis and key in clinical decision making and subsequent selection of an appropriate therapeutic regimen.
