Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: Soft tissue tumors are a diverse and heterogeneous group of tumors. The incidence of benign soft tissue tumors are high relative to malignant tumors. The natural course of soft tissue tumors is un predictable and very aggressive if not diagnosed early. Histopathology is considered gold standard in diagnosing soft tissue tumors Objective: To study the benign and malignant soft tissue tumors with respect to incidence of age, sex and site distribution and study of pathological features of soft tissue tumours. Materials and methods: Retrospective study was undertaken for a period of 2 years from Dec 2013 to Dec2015 in department of pathology, narayana medical college & hospital, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. Results: 90 cases of soft tissue tumors recorded in the department of pathology in 2 years. Of all soft tissue tumors benign soft tumors formed 82 cases (89.1%) while malignant soft tissue tumours constituted 8cases (10.9%). The soft tissue tumors in general had slightly male predominance with 2.1:1 is male to female ratio. Commonest benign soft tissue tumor was lipoma and malignant soft tissue tumor was fibrosarcoma in our study. The common site of occurred ce of benign soft tissue tumors was Head & neck while for malignant soft tissue tumors was extremities. Benign soft tissue tumors were commonly affected in 2nd decade while for malignant tumors were commonly affected in 5th decade. Conclusion: The histopathological evalution is still the gold standard for the proper diagnosis of soft tissue tumors
