Soft tissue sarcomas are uncommon malignancies that have a high risk of local recurrence despite adequate initial surgery. The aim of follow-up imaging with any malignancy is to detect recurrence promptly so that treatment can be instigated at the earliest possible opportunity. In this review article, we discuss the imaging modalities that can be employed to detect local recurrence following surgery for an extremity soft tissue sarcoma. The role of radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography is reviewed followed by a discussion on the imaging modalities useful in the detection of metastatic disease. Finally, we present a robust pathway that is suggested for the follow-up of patients with an extremity soft tissue sarcoma.
软组织肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性肿瘤,尽管初始手术充分,但仍有较高的局部复发风险。对任何恶性肿瘤进行随访成像的目的是及时发现复发,以便尽早开始治疗。在这篇综述文章中,我们讨论了可用于检测肢体软组织肉瘤手术后局部复发的成像方式。回顾了X线片、计算机断层扫描、磁共振成像和正电子发射断层扫描的作用,随后讨论了对检测转移性疾病有用的成像方式。最后,我们提出了一条建议用于肢体软组织肉瘤患者随访的可靠途径。
