Soft Tissue Tumor Pathology

Soft tissue tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the soft tissues of the body, such as muscles, fat, blood vessels, and nerves. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Pathology is the study of these tumors, focusing on their characteristics, how they grow, and how they can affect the body. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests and a biopsy to analyze the tumor. Treatment options vary based on the type and stage of the tumor, and may include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Understanding soft tissue tumors helps in early detection and effective management.
