Abstract

Soft tissue masses are very common and may appear in the context of rheumatic diseases. They usually occur alone but may occasionally be part of the syndromes and can sometimes involve periarticular tissues. Soft tissue masses can be divided into several categories. In this article, we have categorized them into 3 different groups: (1) pseudotumors, (2) benign tumors, and (3) malignant tumors. Parotid enlargement will also be discussed in this study. The majority of Soft tissue masses are pseudotumors or benign tumors, which can be easily characterized with ultrasound, therefore, considered the first screening tool in the study of this type of lesion. If the tumor is deep or poorly accessible, or present with suspected signs of malignancy, the sonographer may suggest expanding the study with magnetic resonance imaging and/or an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the lesion. Ultrasound is also a good technique for the parotid and submandibular glands and is very useful for evaluating and monitoring Sjogren's syndrome.

临床风湿病学中的软组织肿块和腮腺超声评估。
软组织肿块非常常见,可能出现在风湿性疾病中。它们通常单独出现,但偶尔也会成为综合征的一部分,有时还会累及关节周围组织。软组织肿块可分为几类。本文将其分为三类:(1) 假性肿瘤;(2) 良性肿瘤;(3) 恶性肿瘤。本研究还将讨论腮腺肿大。大多数软组织肿块是假性瘤或良性肿瘤,很容易通过超声波确定其特征,因此被认为是研究这类病变的首要筛查工具。如果肿瘤较深或不易触及,或出现疑似恶性肿瘤的迹象,超声技师可能会建议扩大研究范围,进行磁共振成像和/或超声引导下的病灶活检。超声检查也是腮腺和颌下腺的良好检查技术,对评估和监测斯约格伦综合征非常有用。
