  1. Soft Tissue Sarcoma

  2. Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that develops in the soft tissues of the body. These soft tissues include muscles, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons, and connective tissues. Soft tissue sarcomas can occur in any part of the body but are most commonly found in the arms, legs, chest, or abdomen. They can manifest as painless lumps or swelling, but symptoms may vary depending on the location and size of the tumor.

  3. Types of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) Also known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), UPS is a high-grade sarcoma that can develop in any soft tissue but commonly occurs in the arms or legs. Leiomyosarcoma Arising from smooth muscle tissue, leiomyosarcoma most commonly occurs in the uterus, gastrointestinal tract, or blood vessels. Liposarcoma This type of sarcoma originates in fat cells and can occur in deep soft tissues of the limbs, abdomen, or retroperitoneum.

  4. Synovial Sarcoma Synovial sarcoma typically arises near joints in the arms or legs and can also develop in the neck or trunk. It is characterized by its association with tendons and synovial tissues. Rhabdomyosarcoma Most commonly found in children and adolescents, rhabdomyosarcoma arises from skeletal muscle cells and can occur in various parts of the body, including the head and neck, genitourinary tract, and extremities. Fibrosarcoma Fibrosarcoma originates in fibrous connective tissues and commonly affects the limbs, trunk, or head and neck region. Angiosarcoma Arising from blood or lymphatic vessels, angiosarcoma can occur in various soft tissues but is often found in the skin, breast, liver, or deep soft tissues.

  5. Symptoms of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Lump or Swelling A noticeable lump or swelling in the soft tissues, which may or may not be painful. Pain or Discomfort Persistent pain or discomfort in the affected area, especially if the tumor presses on nearby nerves or muscles. Limited Mobility Difficulty moving or performing normal activities, particularly if the tumor is located near joints or muscles.

  6. Numbness or Tingling Sensations of numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area, which may indicate nerve compression or damage. Fatigue or Weakness Generalized fatigue, weakness, or malaise, which may result from the body's response to the cancer or the tumor's impact on overall health. Changes in Bowel or Bladder Habits Difficulty urinating or having bowel movements, especially if the tumor is located in the pelvis or abdomen and compresses nearby organs.
