Abstract
Soft tissue is defined as the complex of non epithelial extraskeletal structures of the body exclusive of the
supportive tissue of the various organs and the hematopoietic/lymphoid tissue. It is composed of fibrous
tissue, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, blood and lymph vessels and peripheral nervous system. Soft tissue
tumours constitute a large and heterogenous group of neoplasms. WHO has classified soft tissue tumors
in different categories like Adipocytic tumors, Fibroblastic, Fibro-histiocytic, Smooth muscle, Pericytic,
Skeletal muscle, Vascular, Chondro-osseous & tumors of uncertain differentiation. These are further
subdivided into Bengin, Intermediate & Malignant. Pattern of a particular disease in any population is
studied with the idea of obtaining information about the clinical presentation, the varied morphology and
the etiological factors that can be assessed in relation to its prognosis. The present study was undertaken
with a view to getting information about the rate of prevalence, relative frequency of various
histopathological types of neoplasms and morphological patterns of soft tissue tumors in our institution.
