Soft tissue tumors
Soft tissue tumors refer to abnormal growths or masses that develop in the soft tissues of the body. Soft tissues include muscles, tendons, ligaments, fat, blood vessels, nerves and other connective tissues. Soft tissue tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). They can arise from any part of the body and can vary in size, shape and severity.
Our team of experts uses cutting-edge techniques to safely and effectively remove soft tissue tumors. Whether you are dealing with benign or malignant growths, we tailor our approach to your unique needs, ensuring optimal results. Soft tissue tumors, when they appear on the surface and are small in size, can often be removed under local anesthesia or in day surgery. This minimally invasive approach allows for a quick procedure with a shorter recovery period. However, when we are dealing with larger or deeper tumors within the tissues, surgical removal may be necessary, which may require a short stay in our clinic for post-operative care.
Do you have additional questions about the service?
How are benign soft tissue tumors usually treated?
The most common benign soft tissue tumors include lipomas and hemangiomas. They are usually surgically removed, especially if they grow or cause discomfort. Surgical removal is usually curative, and these tumors rarely recur.
What are malignant soft tissue tumors?
Malignant soft tissue tumors, known as sarcomas, include but are not limited to liposarcomas, hemangiosarcomas, and leiomyosarcomas. They account for approximately 1% of all malignancies and require early diagnosis and treatment.
How is the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors confirmed?
The safest way to diagnose soft tissue tumors is through a biopsy, where a sample of the tumor is removed and examined under a microscope. Physical examinations and imaging tests can provide preliminary information but may not confirm the diagnosis.
What factors determine the therapeutic approach for soft tissue tumors?
The treatment approach depends on several factors, including the type, size, and location of the tumor.
