- An analysis of 336 cases of malignant and benign tumors of soft tissue, that were examined at the department of pathology, college of medicine, Seoul National University, during a period of 11 years from January 1955 to December 1965 was made.
Total 336 soft tissue tumors consisted of 79 malignant and 257 benign tumors, and occupied 10 per cent of total tumors that were examined at this department during the same period. And 79 malignant soft tissue tumors occupied 3.5% of total malignancies during the same period.
Seventy-nine malignant and 257 benign soft tissue tumors were histologically classified and tabulated. Among malignant tumors, fibrosarcoma, neurogenic sarcoma, fibroliposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma were especially prevalent, and among benign tumors hemangioma, lipoma, fibroma and neurofibroma were more commonly encountered.
Average ages of malignant and benign soft tissue tumors were 37 and 33 years respectively. Male was slightly preponderant than female in both malignant and benign tumors.
Site distributions of 336 soft tissue were also tabulated, and some tumors were selected and described in more detail.
