SIR 2006 film panel case: spindle cell tumor of the thigh.

摘要

A 65-year-old Middle Eastern woman initially presented with left-sided pain in the pelvis and thigh and was evaluated for venous insufficiency. Computed tomography was performed, optimized to look for pelvic or ovarian varices. None were present. An enhancing contralateral thigh lesion (Fig 1) was found incidentally, only partially imaged. Ultrasonography (US) might have revealed the true nature of the lesion, but because the patient had a distant history of right hip dislocation and pelvic trauma, angiography was performed in anticipation of treatment of a pseudoaneurysm.
