Soft tissue tumours of the elbow are mostly benign. Malignant tumours in this area, although uncommon, often present unique clinical and histopathological characteristics that are helpful for diagnosis.Management of soft tissue tumours around the elbow may be challenging because of their rarity and the proximity to neurovascular structures. Careful staging, histological diagnosis and treatment are essential to optimize clinical outcome. A missed or delayed diagnosis or an improperly executed biopsy may have devastating consequences for the patient.This article reviews the most common benign and malignant soft tissue tumours of the elbow and discusses the clinicopathological findings, imaging features and current therapeutic concepts.

肘部软组织肿瘤大多为良性。该区域的恶性肿瘤虽然不常见，但往往具有有助于诊断的独特临床和组织病理学特征。由于肘部周围软组织肿瘤罕见且靠近神经血管结构，其治疗可能具有挑战性。仔细的分期、组织学诊断和治疗对于优化临床结果至关重要。漏诊或延迟诊断或活检执行不当可能给患者带来灾难性后果。本文回顾了肘部最常见的良性和恶性软组织肿瘤，并讨论了临床病理表现、影像学特征和当前的治疗理念。引用本文：2019；4：668 - 677。DOI：10.1302/2058 - 5241.4.190002。
