- Abstract
Background Soft tissue tumors are a diverse group of neoplasms that arise from the connective tissues, including muscles, fat, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, and peripheral nerves. These tumors can range from benign to malignant, and their accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment planning and prognosis. The diversity in morphology and behavior of these tumors makes their histopathological evaluation both challenging and essential. Aim and Objectives The study aims to analyze the histopathological features of soft tissue tumors in order to classify them, determine their frequency, and correlate the findings with clinical parameters. Materials and Method This Observational study analyzed the histopathological records of patients diagnosed with soft tissue tumors over a period of one years at a tertiary care center. Specimens were obtained from surgical excisions and biopsies, followed by processing and staining using standard histological techniques. Tumors were classified according to the WHO classification of soft tissue tumors. Clinical data were reviewed, and correlations with histopathological findings were analyzed. Results A total of 60 cases of soft tissue tumors were reviewed, comprising 49 benign, 7 intermediate and 4 malignant tumors. The most common benign tumor was Adipocytic tumours, while the most frequent malignant tumor were undefferentiated. Histopathological analysis provided a definitive diagnosis in 95% of cases, with a significant correlation between histopathological findings and clinical presentation. Conclusion Histopathological analysis remains the gold standard for the diagnosis and classification of soft tissue tumors. Accurate histopathological evaluation is essential for effective clinical management and prognosis.
