Soft tissue tumors involving the hand are common and most often benign. It is important to know the spectrum of soft tissue tumors of the hand and understand the typical as well as atypical imaging features are seen on different imaging modalities. The imaging features are largely determined by the tumor histopathology; thus, the basic idea about the tumor histopathology will always be useful. This article intends to focus on a comprehensive approach including demographics, clinical presentation, and imaging findings required to diagnose the tumor definitely or narrow the differentials. This article discusses common soft tissue tumor mimics of the hand as well, however, excludes the bone tumors for the sake of brevity.
累及手部的软组织肿瘤很常见，且大多为良性。了解手部软组织肿瘤的种类，并熟悉不同成像方式下其典型及非典型的影像特征非常重要。影像特征很大程度上由肿瘤组织病理学决定；因此，对肿瘤组织病理学的基本了解总是有用的。本文旨在重点介绍一种综合方法，包括人口统计学、临床表现以及明确诊断肿瘤或缩小鉴别诊断范围所需的影像表现。本文也讨论了手部常见的软组织肿瘤模仿物，不过，为简洁起见，排除了骨肿瘤。
