Abstract
One hundred twenty-five histologically proved cases of soft tissue sarcoma in adults
were examined in retrospect. The histologic type, the location of origin of the tumor,
and sites of metastases were discussed. Treatment in this group was primarily surgical.
A wide local excision markedly decreased the incidence of persistence of tumor over
a limited excision. Amputation as a primary treatment of sarcoma of the extremity
was not considered indicated. A difference in survival rate between patients with
tumors arising in the upper and in the lower portions of the body was present in these
cases.
