Their presence and morphology can provide key clues for differentiating benign from malignant lesions, influencing both prognosis and management strategies. This pictorial review aims to explore the imaging characteristics, patterns, and implications of soft tissue calcifications, with a focus on distinguishing between benign and malignant soft tissue tumors based on the World Health Organization classification. A systematic evaluation of imaging findings in various soft tissue tumor subtypes, including adipocytic, smooth muscle, vascular, chondro-osseous, and tumors of uncertain differentiation, is presented. Additionally, non-neoplastic causes of soft tissue calcifications, such as metabolic and inflammatory conditions, are reviewed for comprehensive differential diagnosis. Our review shows that the presence, distribution, and morphology of calcifications, such as stippled, punctate, coarse, and amorphous patterns, play a crucial role in tumor characterization. Some important examples are phleboliths, which strongly suggest a benign hemangioma, while dystrophic calcification is more commonly associated with malignant entities such as synovial sarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Peripheral calcifications with zonal distribution are characteristic of myositis ossificans, whereas central dense calcifications may indicate extra-skeletal osteosarcoma. The review also discusses the significance of calcifications in non-neoplastic conditions, such as calcific tendinitis, tumoral calcinosis, and metabolic diseases, which can mimic soft tissue tumors. Recognizing the imaging characteristics of soft tissue calcifications is essential for accurate tumor classification and appropriate clinical management. This review highlights the importance of integrating radiologic findings with clinical and histopathological data to avoid misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics15070811","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T10:53:54Z","timestamp":1742900034000},"page":"811","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Pictorial Review of Soft Tissue Lesions with Calcification"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8382-6155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zahra","family":"Masroori","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3522-8772","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peyman","family":"Mirghaderi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Haseli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arash","family":"Azhideh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bahar","family":"Mansoori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Abdominal Imaging, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2937-114X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chankue","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8400-1593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majid","family":"Chalian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Division of Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98105, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1499","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-008-1292-3","article-title":"Soft tissue sarcomas at a glance: Clinical, histological, and MR imaging features of malignant extremity soft tissue tumors","volume":"19","author":"Kliffen","year":"2009","journal-title":"Eur.
