[Tomodensitometric aspects of sarcoma of the soft tissue of the extremities in adults].

A group of 21 adults patients with soft tissues sarcomas of the extremities were studied by CT. CT was a diagnostic procedure in only one case. However it has always permitted a precise local work-up particularly in demonstrating the vasculo-nervous connections of the lesions. The place of CT with regard to the other radiological procedures is discussed. by its contribution to the locoregional and general pretherapeutic work-up and to a better determination of radiotherapeutical dosimetry, CT appears to have an up standing place in the staging and the follow-up of soft tissues sarcomas.
