Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify criteria for nodule characterization on chest computed tomography in patients with soft tissue sarcomas. In 195 patients, a total of 194 benign and 117 malignant subcentimeter lung nodules were retrospectively analyzed according to lesion size, shape, margins, density, and localization. Benign lesions more frequently displayed complex shape and were of ground-glass density (P<.0001, respectively). In contrast, round shape and solid density were more frequently found in malignant lesions (P<.0001, respectively).
