Intraoperative portable ultrasonography localization of clinically impalpable soft-tissue tumors

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Most soft-tissue tumors are clinically palpable; however, some can be impalpable to clinical examination making it difficult to plan surgical management.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We present a simple method of perioperative tumor localization using a portable ultrasonography machine.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>We used the technique for seven cases, on each occasion identifying the tumor and facilitating the optimal surgical approach.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The technique is reproducible and readily available, and we recommend its use.</p>
