Soft tissue sarcoma.
Soft tissue sarcomas comprise approximately 1% of all adult malignancies. These mesenchymal neoplasms require carefully planned diagnostic and therapeutic strategies to optimize postextirpative functional preservation. Soft tissue sarcomas most frequently occur in the lower extremity and typically require a multidisciplinary team approach with surgical resection, radiation therapy, and possibly chemotherapy for limb salvage.
