Synovial sarcoma is a rare and aggressive soft tissue malignancy that arises from mesenchymal cells. Despite its name, it does not originate from synovial tissue but is most commonly located near joints in the extremities, particularly in the lower limbs. It accounts for approximately 5–10% of all soft tissue sarcomas and frequently affects adolescents and
Soft or connective tissue sarcoma refers to a diverse group of malignant tumors that arise in the soft tissues of the body, including fat, muscles, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, or deep skin tissues. Though relatively rare, sarcomas are complex cancers that require accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment strategies for optimal outcomes. What Is Soft
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant tumor originating from skeletal muscle progenitors. It predominantly affects children and adolescents but can also occur in adults. As the most common soft tissue sarcoma in the pediatric population, RMS presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management. Epidemiology and Risk Factors RMS accounts for approximately 5% of all childhood cancers
Malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) are a rare group of mesenchymal neoplasms characterized by the presence of distinctive perivascular epithelioid cells. These tumors can arise in various body locations, including the uterus, lungs, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. While PEComas are often benign, some exhibit malignant behavior, leading to aggressive progression and metastasis. Etiology and
Liposarcoma is a rare and malignant tumor originating from fat cells, typically developing in the deep soft tissues of the extremities and the retroperitoneum. It is a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma, accounting for approximately 15% to 20% of all cases within this category. Early detection and comprehensive understanding of liposarcoma are crucial for effective
Leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer originating in the smooth muscle tissues of the body. These muscles are involuntary and found in various organs, including the digestive system, urinary system, blood vessels, and uterus. Due to its rarity and aggressive nature, understanding leiomyosarcoma is crucial for early detection and effective treatment. Understanding
Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare and aggressive soft tissue cancer that primarily affects young adults and adolescents. It commonly arises in the extremities, such as hands, forearms, and lower limbs, though it can develop in other parts of the body. Characterized by slow-growing nodules, this malignancy often mimics benign conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis
