## Abstract Monospecific antibodies and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy were used to investigate the presence of cytoskeletal intermediate filaments of the keratin, vimentin and desmin types in 43 softβtissue sarcomas. The results showed that vimentin was present in the neoplastic cells of a
Sarcomas have been diagnosed from ancient times, but the term sarcoma was used for benign as well as malignant tumors until the middle 1800s. The treatment for soft tissue sarcomas was surgery for 2000 years. In the 1970s, multimodality therapy and the TNM system for staging were introduced.
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
