- Abstract (EN)
- Musculoskeletal tumours of foot or ankle make up about 4–5% of all musculoskeletal tumours. Fortunately, about 80% of them are benign. However, due to the rarity and low prevalence of each single tumour entity, diagnosis is often difficult and delayed. - Ultrasonography is an important diagnostic tool to safely recognize ganglion cysts as a frequently encountered ‘bump’ in the foot. - In suspicious lesions, malignancy must be excluded histologically in a tumour center by biopsy after imaging procedures using x-ray, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). - Most of the benign tumours do not require any further surgical therapy. Resection should be performed in the case of locally aggressive tumour growth or local symptoms of discomfort. In contrast to malignant tumours, the primary purpose in the resection is the least possible loss of function.
