Reviewer 2 Report

Well prepared work, with minimal need of changes (some mistypes)

The design of the work is very good.

The only part of the work that should be improved is the real diagnosis of sarcomas: either cases should be compared with negative and positive USG findings, or should be stated that this comparison has not been performed.

To state after this study that the percentage of bening/malignant tumors are this and this is not relevant. It sounds that dignity of the tumor can be determined by the USG findings.
