Overview. What are benign soft tissue tumors? Benign soft tissue tumors are noncancerous lumps under your skin. They develop anywhere you have soft tissue such as your muscles, tendons and fat.
Soft tissue tumors are cell growths that emerge nearly anywhere in the body: in tendons, muscles, ligaments, cartilage, nerves, blood vessels, fat, and other tissues. Patients commonly refer to these masses as lumps or bumps. See Figures 1 and 2.
Soft tissue masses are a common presentation in family physician offices. Although most lesions, including lipomas, fibromas, and epidermal and ganglion cysts, are benign, rare lesions such...
Soft tissue tumors, which are also called soft tissue masses, can be found anywhere in the body. They occur in the body’s soft tissues, such as blood vessels, ligaments, tendons, or muscles. Anyone can develop one of these tumors, and they can occur at any time in a person’s life.
Soft tissue masses or lesions are a common medical condition seen by primary care physicians, family physicians, surgeons and orthopedists. They include all outgrowths, both benign and malignant, arising from soft tissue 1-3. Epidemiology.
Soft tissue sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that starts as a growth of cells in the body's soft tissues. The soft tissues connect, support and surround other body structures. Soft tissues include muscle, fat, blood vessels, nerves, tendons and linings of the joints.
Soft tissue sarcomas are rare cancerous tumors that develop in the tissues that support and surround your bones and organs. (Think muscles, tendons and fat cells.) Soft tissue sarcomas usually develop in your arms, legs, chest and the back of your belly, or retroperitoneum.
Tumors of soft tissue are more common than bone tumors. They can occur almost anywhere: within and between muscles, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels. These tumors vary widely in how they look and behave.
Soft tissue tumors develop in connective tissue other than bone such as the skeletal muscle, fat, tendon, fibrous tissue and nerve and blood vessel (neurovascular) tissue.
Bone and soft tissue sarcomas are the main types of sarcoma. Soft tissue sarcomas can develop in soft tissues like fat, muscle, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, or deep skin tissues. They can be found in any part of the body. Most of them start in the arms or legs.
