What is soft tissue tumor

summary

My father was found to have soft tissue tumor when he went to the physical examination last year. It has been more than a year now. His left knee tumor recurred and swelled, and there was also a tumor at the root of his thigh. It is difficult to walk at ordinary times, and he is still under conservative treatment. Now let's talk about what is soft tissue tumor.

What is soft tissue tumor

First, there are two clinical manifestations of soft tissue tumors, including benign and chronic. Benign tumors are called tumors, while malignant ones are called sarcomas. Because in our daily life generally do not come into contact with this kind of disease, so I believe many people are not very familiar with its etiology.

Second, soft tissue malignancies, also known as tissue sarcomas, account for only about 1% of all malignancies. In childhood, the incidence of soft tissue sarcoma is next to leukemia, brain tumor and lymphoma. The most common soft tissue sarcomas are fibrosarcoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and mesothelial sarcoma.

Third, soft tissue tumors are divided into fibrogenic tumors, adipogenic tumors, mesothelioma, smooth muscle tumors and synovial sarcoma. Fibrogenic tumors usually occur in subcutaneous tissue. Adipogenic tumors mostly occurred in buttocks, lower limbs and retroperitoneum. Mesothelioma mostly occurs in the chest and abdominal cavity.
