Malignant mesenchymal neoplasms amount toless than 1% of the overall human burden of malignant tumors but they are life threatening and may pose a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
To study the frequency of malignant soft tissue neoplasms among all other neoplasms and all soft tissue neoplasms and to note any variation regarding age, sex and histopathological features
This is descriptive study conducted in the department of pathology. In this study we collected clinical profile of the 150 patients and correlated with gross and histopathological features. For histopathological study samples were collected, processed to prepare paraffin embedded sections and stained by H and E stains.
Malignant soft tissue neoplasms contributed 1.63%of all types of neoplasms. Among all soft tissue neoplasms, malignant soft tissue neoplasms accounted only 10.38%. Commonest encountered histological group was the fibrohistiocytic tumors. Malignant soft tissue neoplasms showed equal predilection for sex and the mean age was 50.8 years.
Malignant soft tissue neoplasms accounts very small percentage among all neoplastic lesions reported. The majority of soft tissue neoplasms were from fibrohistiocytic tumor group. The mean age of malignant soft tissue neo-plasms is 50.8 years with equal sex predilection.
