Abstract

 

Introduction: Soft tissue is a non-epithelial extra skeletal tissue of
the body wherein reticuloendothelial system, glia and supporting
tissue of parenchymal organs are excluded. It is constituted by
voluntary muscles, fat, fibrous tissue and supplying blood vessels.
Aim of the study: To analyse the histopathological findings in various
soft tissue tumors and to study its distribution in relation to age, sex
and site. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective observational
study carried out in the pathology department at tertiary care
academic institute for a period of two years. The specimen was
grossed, processed, sectioned, stained with haematoxylin and eosin.
It includes 106 cases of soft tissue tumors that were diagnosed at our
institute on both clinical and pathological basis. Results: Out of 106
cases, 102 cases (96.22%) were benign and three cases (2.83%) were
malignant in nature and only one case (0.94%) was of intermediate
grade. The commonest age group was 41–50 years and M:F ratio
was 2.52 :1. Among benign tumours, adipocytic tumours constituted
majority of the cases (75.47%), followed by vascular tumours
(12.26%). Extremities was the commonest site for soft tissue tumour
followed by back region. Conclusion: The most common age group
is 41–50 years and the incidence is higher in males than females.
Most common symptom was painless mass. The benign soft tissue
tumors outnumbered malignant tumors. Lipomas were the most
common benign tumours.
Keywords: Soft tissue tumors, lipomas, adipocytic tumors.
