Alveolar soft part sarcoma

Eur Radiol. 1998;8(5):813-6. doi: 10.1007/s003300050477.

Abstract

We report a case of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) of the thigh with lung metastases in a 22-year-old woman. The findings of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and MRI contributed to the diagnosis of ASPS. Especially dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI was useful for evaluating the effect of chemoembolotherapy.
