Soft Tissue Tumors of the Abdomen and Retroperitoneum.

Soft Tissue Tumors of the Abdomen and Retroperitoneum. Surg Clin North Am. 2020 Jun;100(3):649-667 Authors: Turgeon MK, Cardona K Abstract Soft tissue tumors of the abdomen and retroperitoneum encompass a wide range of benign and malignant neoplasms. Retroperitoneal sarcomas, the most common, are composed of rare malignancies with numerous histiotypes. Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment and the only curative option for retroperitoneal sarcomas. With histiotype-dependent local and distant recurrences, it is imperative these cases are discussed in a multidisciplinary tumor board setting at specialized sarcoma centers. This review discusses the current evidence for the management of abdominal and retroperitoneal soft tissue tumors, with particular focus on retroperitoneal sarcomas and desmoid tumors.
