Abstract
Myxoid liposarcoma has a propensity to metastasize to bone. MRI is the preferred modality for detecting bone disease. We evaluated multiple MRI sequences to determine an optimal screening method. Whole body MRI was performed on all patients. The number and locations of metastases found by imaging and round cell component of the sites sampled were evaluated. We found a total of 68 osseous lesions. Whole body MRI utilizing STIR only sequences decreased imaging time by 83.6% and demonstrated the lesions the best. STIR sequences can be exclusively used during staging and screening of myxoid liposarcoma.
