    Soft-Tissue Sarcomas of the Genitourinary Tract with Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation
    (Radiological Society of North America Inc., 2024) Espinoza, JLH; Figueroa, JVJE; Díaz, VEV; Amesquita, LSH; Baca, RCC; Vega, MAR; Guelfguat, M
    Genitourinary tract soft-tissue sarcomas are rare neoplasms with varied pathologic and clinical features. While some of these tumors may be aggressive high-grade malignancies, others are low grade with a relatively better prognosis. Given that the grade and extent of the disease are important prognostic factors in these tumors, timely diagnosis is crucial. Unfortunately, most imaging features of these malignancies are not pathognomonic, and various histologic subtypes do not manifest with typical classic imaging features. Therefore, reliable differentiation of the various histologic tumor types is not always possible based solely on the radiologic manifestations. Imaging findings need to be considered in the context of clinical history in corroboration with radiologic-pathologic correlation. The authors discuss the specific imaging and pathologic characteristics of various genitourinary tract soft-tissue sarcomas, emphasizing diagnostic difficulties and differential diagnoses. © 2024, Radiological Society of North America Inc..
