title: [Classification, clinical aspects and diagnostic pathology of soft tissue tumors].
abstract: Soft tissue tumors often present a clinical problem, and their histology is heterogeneous. It is only in the last 15 years that an internationally accepted classification has been widely used to assess prognosis and determine therapy. In the present article the important clinical aspects of treatment are presented in combination with new therapeutic and diagnostic discoveries. Immunohistochemistry is now more widely used as an accepted diagnostic method than electron microscopy.
