title: Non-rhabdomyosarcoma.
abstract: Pediatric non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTS) are a heterogeneous group encompassing more than 50 different histological diagnoses arising from primitive mesenchymal tissue. Together, they comprise about half the soft tissue sarcomas diagnosed in children and young adults. Despite each histologies relative rarity, their management schema is similar among the different NRSTS histologies. Surgical management is an important component of the multimodal treatment strategy of all these tumors. Resection with negative margins, while maintaining function, plays an important role as a primary treatment of these patients as well as diminishing the risks of local and distant recurrence.
