Abstract
Background: Soft tissue tumors are defined as mesenchymal proliferations which occur in the extraskeletal non-epithelial tissues of the body. The present study was conducted to evaluate soft tissue tumors (STT) histopathologically. Material & Methods: The present study was conducted on 225 cases of soft tissues tumors in both genders. Specimens were retrieved and blocks were prepared and special stains like PAS, Masson’s trichrome, PTAH, iron hematoxylin, reticulin were employed wherever necessary. Results:There were 145 STTs in males and 80 in females. Maximum cases were seen in age group 20-30 years in males (55) and females (24) followed by 30-40 years in males (40) and females (20). Out of 195 benign lesions, 123 were seen in males and 72 in females and out of 30 malignant lesions, 22 were seen in males and 8 in females. The most common type of benign tumor was lipomatous tumor seen in 78 cases followed by fibrous tumors in 32, blood vessel tumor in 25 and synovial tumors in 22 cases. Malignant tumors were lipomatous seen in 8 and peri- vascular in 6 cases. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that most STTs were benign and there was male predominance. Age group 20-30 years had maximum cases in both genders. Lipomatous type of benign and malignant lesions was the most commonly occurring STTs.
