Abstract :

Ultrasonography plays an important role in diagnosis of soft tissue lesions. Soft tissue lesions are common pathology involving all age population. Ultrasonography is an important, easily available and cost effective method for diagnosis of soft tissue lesions. Ultrasonography has also a real time evaluation advantage. Guided procedure or interventions can also be done with help of ultrasonography. A prospective study of 50 patients was done at B.J, Medical college , Civil hospital. Ahmedabad over the period of 6 months. Our study aims to illustrate the sonographic findings of clinically palpable soft tissue mass lesions for differential diagnosis of various lesions, to study nature, extent of lesion and its relationship to surrounding structures and to differentiate between pseudotumor and true mass lesion.To conclude, USG is the initial modality of choice in evaluating soft tissue lesions as It provides information about the basic nature of mass,its extent , vascularity and relationship to adjacent structures and it can guide biopsies , abscess drainage and determining the need and role of other imaging modalities. Though easy availability, cost–effectiveness & freedom for dynamic examination makes USG the first line modality of choice, MRI remains the gold standard investigation in diagnosis of soft tissue lesions
