Abstract

Nonembryonal soft tissue sarcomas are rare in childhood. We report our experience from a series of 28 patients treated at this centre, whose treatment was based on primary surgical resection. No patient required limb amputation. Anatomical distribution and histological subtypes differed from the adult sarcoma population. A total of 79 percent of the sarcomas were classified as high grade. Six patients (21%) developed local recurrence, and 6 patients (21%) developed distant recurrence, including 3 patients (11%) who developed both. Median follow‐up was 57 months. Actuarial 5 year survival was 82%, which compares favourably with the 5 year survival of adults with high grade soft tissue sarcomas treated at this centre (63%) and with the survival of children with embryonal sarcomas treated by chemotherapy. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

In childhood, soft tissue sarcomas comprise a complex group of malignancies of varied histologic subtypes, the prognoses of which depend on the histology, age, site, extent of involvement and a variety of other factors. This paper discusses the varieties of tumors classified as soft tissue sarcomas
