MRI is valuable in discriminating between malignant and benign STTs. The presence of cysts, necrosis, hemorrhage, lobulated margin, ill-defined border, peritumoral edema, heterogeneous enhancement, vascular involvement, and T2W hypointensity is suggestive of malignant lesions, especially signs of peritumoral edema and heterogeneous enhancement. Advanced age and large tumor size are also suggestive of soft tissue sarcomas.
