Biopsy or excise: A mass that can be seen on ultrasound that is concerning for sarcoma needs biopsy or excision depending on size. A small mass can be removed. A large mass will be biopsies and sent to pathology for determination. Sometimes an ultrasound should be repeated for second opinion or a different radiological study such as mri.
