Does computed tomography provide specific diagnostic value in patients with liposarcoma?
While CT has low specificity for diagnosing liposarcoma, it is highly useful for clinical evaluation and superior to other radiographic methods.
deSantos et al. (1981) conducted an observational in Liposarcoma (n=17). Computed tomography (CT) vs. Other radiographic methods was evaluated on Specific diagnosis of liposarcoma. Computed tomography allowed a specific diagnosis of liposarcoma in 22% of cases and provided additional important clinical information in approximately 50% of cases.
