Abstract
Introduction: STS constitute a significant challenge to the surgeon. They are rare tumor accounting for 1% of all malignancies. There are more than 20 histologic varieties. They are Aggressive neoplasms and have the propensity for early metastatic spread.
Aim: To study Age and sex incidence, Clinical presentation, various histology, Diagnostic modalities, various treatment modalities, Post-operative complication
Materials and method: Biopsy proven 40 cases of STS.
Results: Rare tumor in this region. Common in extremities. Peak incidence is 50years and above. 75%of patients had presented in advanced stage of disease. Surgery is the prime modality of treatment.
Conclusion: STS remains an ideal model for investigation of strategies designed to improve long term outcome. Multiple prognostic factors are being defined and the disease process is varied enough to provide a fertile field for treatment strategies.
Keywords: Histology, Treatment modalities, Follow-up
