About Sarcoma

Where do soft tissue sarcomas develop?

Soft tissue sarcomas can arise almost anywhere in the body. About 50 percent occur in the extremities (the arms, legs, hands, or feet), 40 percent occur in the trunk (chest, back, hips, shoulders, and abdomen), and 10 percent occur in the head and neck.
