Soft tissue tumours of the elbow are mostly benign. Malignant tumours in this area, although uncommon, often present unique clinical and histopathological characteristics that are helpful for diagnosis. Management of soft tissue tumours around the elbow may be challenging because of their rarity and the proximity to neurovascular structures. Careful staging, histological diagnosis and treatment are essential to optimize clinical outcome. A missed or delayed diagnosis or an improperly executed biopsy may have devastating consequences for the patient. This article reviews the most common benign and malignant soft tissue tumours of the elbow and discusses the clinicopathological findings, imaging features and current therapeutic concepts.

Background: The current WHO classification has categorized soft tissue tumours into benign, malignant and so-called intermediate neoplasms. Soft tissue sarcoma comprises <1% of adult cancers. The aim of the study was to clinically correlate soft tissue neoplasms and study the histomorphological features of various malignant soft tissue tumors.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Mangalore, India from January 2019 to June 2020. Clinical details of all cases of soft tissue neoplasms retrieved from the medical records of our institution. Data collected included age, gender, presenting symptoms, site and size of soft tissue neoplasms and clinical diagnosis. Pathological diagnosis of these tumours was made and details recorded.Results: A total of 113 cases of soft tissue neoplasms were collected. 94.4% benign and 18.6 %. malignant tumours were present. 77% cases presented with swelling whereas 23% presented with pain. Majority of benign soft tissue tumours were located in the trunk (36.9%) and the most common type was lipomas (66.38%). Malignant soft tissue tumours showed male to female ratio of 1.33:1. Most predilection was noted for the extremities (42.8%) and leiomyosarcomas were the most common type (38%).Conclusions: The incidence of malignant soft tissue tumours is rare. Majority of the cases were noted in the extremities. Leiomyosarcoma was the most common type, in our study. Lipomas were the most common benign soft tissue tumours, and majority of the benign tumours were located in the trunk.

ermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), also known as dermatofibrosarcoma of Darier and Ferrand, is a soft-tissue neoplasm of intermediate to low-grade malignancy, which accounts for 0.1–1% of all cutaneous malignant tumours [1]. The diagnosis of this entity is based on physical examination and a confirmative biopsy sample [2-5]. However, the lack of reliable clinical criteria suggestive of DFSP results in delayed diagnosis and poorer patient outcome.

Lipoma, a benign neoplasm of adipocytes, is the most common mesenchymal soft tissue tumor of adulthood, but rarely present with huge sizes in their cutaneous localization. Liposarcomas are the second most common soft tissue sarcoma following malignant brous histiocytoma. They comprise approximately 16-18% of all malignant soft tissue tumours. It is most common in the trunk followed by lower extremity, upper extremity and head and neck.. While lipomas can be clinically diagnosed , transformation of lipomas into liposarcoma is rare. Here we report the case of a 55 gentleman, who came with a history of swelling over the right shoulder with a probable malignant transformation due to history of long duration of presence of swelling. Management is usually by wide excision. Local radiation and chemotherapy may be necessary for high grade lesions.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a malignant fibrohistiocytic tumor that appears exclusively on the skin. It is a low-grade malignant soft tissue tumor of subcutaneous tissues that has a propensity for local recurrence but seldom metastasizes. It may rarely occur on the head and neck accounting for less than one percent of total head and neck malignancies. We present a man with a giant DFSP on the face. Oncological, functional, and aesthetic aspects are set forth.
