title: [Pathology and histology of soft tissue sarcomas in the upper extremity: adults].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Clinicopathologic characterization and demonstration of histologic findings in six common soft tissue sarcomas of the upper extremity in adult patients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Clinicopathologic findings and histologic features of the following malignant soft tissue tumours are compiled: epithelioid sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, liposarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). All these tumours show typical clinical presentations and characteristic histological findings.
