What is meant by there is a large amount of soft in the tissue of the right femur?

---

I had an MRI and report said "There is large amount of soft in the tissue with homogeneous suppression of fat. There was no abnormalities within the muscular, bony, or vascular structures." Can someone help me understand what they mean by a large amount of SOFT in the tissue?
I reread the report it says, "Ther is large amount of soft in the tissue with homogeneous suppression of fat. There is no abnormalities within the muscular, bony, or vascular structures.
It probably states soft tissue, not soft in the tissue.  (+ info)

How does a soft tissue sarcoma appear on a regular xray?

---

i have a mass on my finger that i had xrayed and they said it showed up as swelling in the xray, but im scared it could be a soft tissue sarcoma...what are characteristics of soft tissue sarcomas?? i have had this mass on my finger for about six months now with no pain, so the doctor said its just a tendon sheath tumor? anyone know about sarcomas or xrays?
im really worried...i know im probably just paranoid but im scared
Please take Panda's excellent advice and pursue this with a sarcoma specialist if possible. I would at least recommend a biopsy, based on my own sarcoma experience. I had a "probably nothing" lump excised from my arm, and it turned out to be Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma. The good news is that the odds are in your favor - sarcoma is very rare, so chances are your doctor is right. But it's not worth the risk to just let it go.  (+ info)

What kind of cancer can you have from a soft tissue mass/tumor in the knee besides Sarcoma?

---

They found a 3cm soft tissue mass in the posterior of my knee almost 2 weeks ago. It is eroding the lateral side of my medial femoral condyle and they think it has torn my PCL. I was referrred to an orthopedic onocologist b/c they couldn't determine if it was cancerous by MRI, CAT scan, or Bone Scan I have had done. And my local orthopedic surgeon I have been seeing doesnt feel comfortable doing the biopsy b/c it is so 'aggressive'. And my ortho onocologist said its going to be a very "involved" surgery b/c it is so close to the major artery in my leg and other factors. But all 3 doctors I have been to have mentioned that it could be cancer but the only type that has been mentioned that I can remember was Sarcoma. Is there any other cancer that could be in the knee?
Your cancer is not located in the knee joint or it would most likely be a bone tumor called an osteosarcoma. Since your tumor is instead located in the soft tissue that surrounds your knee one possibility would be a leiomyosarcoma which is a type of rare soft tissue sarcoma. Here is a basic web page on leiomyosarcoma

http://www.leiomyosarcoma.info/

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare and difficult to treat type of sarcoma.

I have a couple of suggestions for you. At all of your next Dr appts. either take real good notes or even better take someone else that you trust with you to take notes for you and to also listen. Ask the Drs to spell any words or terms with which you are not familiar.
My second suggestion would be not to spend a lot of time doing the "what if" game until you know exactly what type of tumor you are dealing with. Wasting your time with speculation will just cause you mental grief and lack of sleep for no good purpose. Don't read too much until you know what you actually need to read about or you will just scare yourself needlessly.

The web page below will give you a list of all the various benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. Until you have the pathology report back from your biopsy any guessing as to what type of tumor you have will be speculation so concentrate on keeping your spirits up and getting organized. You have at least one major surgery in your near future so you need to concentrate on the things you know and can control and not spend time worrying trouble until trouble worries you.

http://www.emedicine.com/orthoped/topic377.htm

I would get a referral to a teaching hospital or major cancer center for surgery by an expert orthopedic surgeon who works exclusively with tumors located in or near joints. This will give you much better odds on maintaining good knee function after the surgery than if your surgeon is less experienced and just doing the best job he can.

How long does soft tissue damage take to heal?

---

I was in a car accident a few days ago, ive been checked over at a&e who said that i had soft tissue damage to my neck, back, shoulder and chest. The cars wernt going that fast, it happened at a roundabout. Any ideas how long it will take for my neck etc to feel better??? thanks
Look soft tissue takes a long time to heal the insurance companies state that it heals in about eight weeks but that is not true. It can often take months for soft tissue to heal. The important thing is to start working the muscles as soon as the pain is down to a level where you can handle it. Use ice for fifteen to twenty minutes every hour. Stay away from heat as this will only prolong the problem. Hopefully the doctor that is seeing you will refer you to a physical therapist. Watch your posture as there will be a tendency for you to slouch. One thing that must be understood, muscle has a memory and if it is not gotten back to normal states it will remember the altered one not the normal one.  (+ info)
