Soft tissue tumours are weird growths that happen in the body's soft tissues, such as muscles, fat, nerves, blood vessels, tendons, and connective tissues. These tumours can be either benign (not cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Benign tumours are more common. Lipomas, fibromas, and haemangiomas are examples of benign soft tissue tumours. Soft tissue sarcomas are examples of malignant tumours. They can happen anywhere in the body, although they are most common in the arms, legs, trunk, or abdomen.

Most soft tissue tumours show up as a lump or swelling that doesn't hurt and becomes bigger over time. However, depending on where they are, bigger tumours might cause discomfort, pressure, nerve compression, or problems with how well the body works. The precise aetiology is frequently unidentified, while risk factors may encompass genetic disorders, prior radiation exposure, or trauma.
A biopsy is done to make sure the tumour is what it says it is. The type of tumour determines the type of treatment. Benign tumours may require only observation or surgical excision, whereas malignant tumours demand surgical removal, occasionally in conjunction with radiation or chemotherapy. Finding it early leads to better treatment results.
