ABSTRACT

The working group of the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its classification of soft tissue and bone tumors in 2002, and modifications were made primarily to the nomenclature for soft tissue neoplasms. This review presents the imaging features, patient demographics, and clinicopathological findings for benign and malignant skeletal and smooth muscle tumors using the current WHO classification system.
