Abstract
Soft tissue can be defined as nonepithelial extra skeletal tissue of the body; benign soft tissue tumors outnumber malignant tumors by a margin of about 100:1 in a hospital population. The diagnosis and management of soft tissue tumors require a team perspective. A good clinical acumen, careful gross examination of the specimen and adequate sampling of the tumor is essential. The soft tissue tumors (232 cases) constituted 2.08 % of the entire biopsy material (11157 cases) recorded in the department of pathology. Soft tissue tumor accounted for 8.34% of all tumors (2781 tumors diagnosed during the study period). Benign soft tissue tumors constituted 9.91% of all benign tumors and malignant soft tissue tumor accounted for 4.27% of all malignant tumors diagnosed during the study period. Benign soft tissue tumors formed 85.78% of all soft tissue tumors while malignant soft tissue tumors constituted 14.22% of all soft tissue tumors with a benign to malignant ratio of 6.03:1.
