Soft Tissue Tumors of the Extremity.

This article focuses on the optimal workup of soft tissue masses including the indications for ultrasound and MRI, as well as use of preoperative core needle biopsy. Current AJCC staging, surgical principles of soft tissue sarcoma management, and data regarding indications for radiation therapy and chemotherapy are reviewed. As up to 50% of patients with soft tissue sarcoma will develop recurrent disease, surgical management of locally recurrent and distant metastatic disease is discussed.
