Three patients were referred to our musculoskeletal oncology service after undergoing autologous fat grafting procedures. Two masses were suspected to be "soft tissue sarcomas," and one was due to a mass of unknown origin. These findings have not been reported in the orthopedic literature and may generate potential referrals for orthopedic oncologists.
Awareness of potential complications of procedures from other surgical specialties and their radiographic characteristics is of utmost importance. The clinical and radiographic findings that could assist in distinguishing a mass related to an autologous fat transfer procedure from a soft tissue sarcoma are described.
三位患者在接受自体脂肪移植手术后被转诊至我们的肌肉骨骼肿瘤专科。其中两个肿块被怀疑为“软组织肉瘤”，一个则是来源不明的肿块。这些发现尚未在骨科文献中报道，可能会为骨科肿瘤医生带来潜在的转诊患者。
了解其他外科专业手术的潜在并发症及其影像学特征至关重要。本文描述了有助于鉴别与自体脂肪转移手术相关的肿块与软组织肉瘤的临床和影像学表现。
