TEACHING POINTS

To make an algorithmic diagnostic imaging approach for characterization of soft tissue masses ( SLAM approach: S-Signal and Signs, L-Location A-Age group M-Multiplicity/Morphology)  

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

SLAM approach :Signal morphology on T1 and T2, Location clues, Age group clues, Multiplicity are discussed with clinical examples. The Key Imaging Signs are illustrated with examples Triple sign: Synovial sarcoma Lasagne sign: Elastofibroma Broccoli sign: Lipoma arborescence Fascicular sign: Neurogenic tumours Comet Tail sign: Neurogenic tumors Target sign/Bulls eye sign: Neurogenic tumours Dot in circle sign: Mycetoma Foot Coaxial cable sign: Lipo fibromatous Hamartoma Median nerve/Neural Fibrolipoma   Location clues along a vein , along a nerve, along a tendon to name a few. Multiplicity and causes of multiple and symmetrical soft tissue mass lesions are illustrated   The M Rule or MI7 for the Morphology of the lesions is highlighted: Morphology (MI 7 Rule) Melanin :Clear cell Sarcoma Met haemoglobin: Haemorrhage in a tumour/Haematoma Mucin: Metastatic adenocarcinoma Mycelia(septal hyphae):Fungal pathology-Mycetoma MatrixMix: Calcium,Phleboliths,haemosiderin,Fat,Cellularity Makkan(Fat) :Lipoma,Lipoblastoma Myxoid: Myxoma, Myxoid Liposarcoma
