Amir Hossain Gahanbani Ardakani, Alexander Woollard, Howard Ware, Panagiotis D. Gikas
Abstract
The recognition of a malignant soft tissue mass can be challenging, given the rarity of soft tissue sarcoma and the extensive overlap between benign and malignant presentations. Awareness of the signs and symptoms of soft tissue sarcoma in primary care practice ensures prompt referral to a sarcoma center for appropriate assessment and treatment to optimize outcomes.
