Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Soft tissue masses or lesions are a common medical condition seen by primary care physicians, family physicians, surgeons and orthopaedists. They include all outgrowths, both benign and malignant, arising from soft tissue ^1-3."

Line 1:139 · Use the Oxford comma in 'physicians, surgeons and orthopaedists'.

"The clinical presentation of soft tissue masses can provide important clues to the aetiology of soft tissue masses and important features are the time the mass is present, size, depth, mobility and consistency as well as changes in size and growth rate, the duration, the type of associated symptoms and any prior history of trauma, inflammation/infection or cancer ^1-3."

Line 17:182 · Use the Oxford comma in 'depth, mobility and consistency'.

"Ultrasound can help to specify the size, location and mobility of soft tissue masses as well as in the differentiation of cystic versus solid lesions and to determine vascularity and compressibility ³."

Line 95:39 · Use the Oxford comma in 'size, location and mobility'.

"MRI is considered the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation and tissue characterisation of soft tissue masses ^1-4. It can aid in the differentiation of watery, fatty and solid tumour components and with the administration of contrast in the differentiation of cystic lesions and myxoid neoplasms ³. It helps in the localisation of tumours within the different anatomic compartments and the determination of their relationship to neurovascular structures and the muscular fascia ²and can be used to guide biopsy ³."

Line 100:182 · Use the Oxford comma in 'watery, fatty and solid'.

"form, location and size, consistency (cystic versus solid)"

Line 115:8 · Use the Oxford comma in 'form, location and size'.

"relationship to bones, tendons and joints"

Line 118:24 · Use the Oxford comma in 'bones, tendons and joints'.

Commas

suggestion

Line 17:174 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

There Is

suggestion

"The pathology of soft tissue masses varies with the aetiology. Biopsy of suspicious soft tissue masses is technically demanding and requires careful planning due to the potential complications including needle track seeding. There are two general forms of soft tissue biopsy ^2,3:"

Line 46:236 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.
