Patients commonly present to the Emergency Department for the evaluation of soft tissues masses of various etiology. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can aid in the initial evaluation of these masses to begin narrowing a given differential. Soft tissue sarcomas are a malignant neoplasm that frequently present in an extremity, and require close follow-up for the evaluation of metastasis and possible resection, among other treatment options. Being able to effectively differentiate between infectious, inflammatory, benign, or potentially malignant pathology for undifferentiated soft tissue masses is critical for Emergency Medicine clinicians to ensure patients receive appropriate treatment and referrals for definitive care.

患者通常前往急诊科评估各种病因的软组织肿块。床旁超声(POCUS)有助于对这些肿块进行初步评估,从而开始缩小鉴别诊断范围。软组织肉瘤是一种恶性肿瘤,常出现在四肢,除其他治疗选择外,还需要密切随访以评估转移情况并可能进行切除。对于急诊科医生来说,能够有效区分未分化软组织肿块的感染性、炎症性、良性或潜在恶性病变,对于确保患者获得适当的治疗和转介至专科治疗至关重要。
