Abstract
When confronted by a soft tissue neoplasm it is necessary to ask, before operation, whether it is malignant or benign. In this study of 6 cases of lipoma and 8 cases of liposarcoma of the limbs, the authors show that with the aid of computerised tomography the differential diagnosis can be made with certainty, based on densitometric evaluation.
