Soft-Tissue Sarcoma as a Potential Differential Diagnosis of an Exophytic Soft-Tissue Mass: A Case Report

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The detection of a soft-tissue mass requires a detailed and conscientious examination to make a definitive diagnosis and propose appropriate treatment strategies. Benign mesenchymal tumors occur more frequently than malignant tumors. However, because of their aggressive growth and poor prognosis, sarcomas must always be considered as a potential differential diagnosis. To make a formal diagnosis and plan appropriate surgical treatment, the surgeon should obtain cross-sectional imaging studies and biopsies.
