Benign Soft Tissue Tumours

Benign Soft Tissue Tumours

Benign soft tissue tumours are more common than their bone counterparts.

These tumours can arise from any component of mesenchymal system.

They also have a wide variation in behaviour pattern, but are not known to metastasize.

Common examples of Benign Soft Tissue tumours are as follows:

• Lipomas (Fat)
• Angiolipoma (Fat & Blood vessel)
• Benign fibrous histiocytoma (Spindle cells)
• Fibromatosis
• Neurofibroma (Neural)
• Schwannomas (Neural)
• Neurolilemmona (Neural)
• Hemangiomas (Blood vessel)
• Giant cell tumours of tendon sheath (Spindle cells & Synovium)
• Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (Synovium)
• Myxoma (Myxoid)
• Leiomyoma
• Glomus Tumour (Blood Vessel)
• Rhabdomyoma
