Abstract

Aim: To study the pattern of soft tissue tumours in a rural population of Central India.
Method: This was a prospective study, carried out in the Department of Surgery, Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram, Wardha. A total of 157 patients of soft tissue tumours who attended Surgery OPD were included in the study with informed consent. The main stay of diagnosis was clinical followed by ultrasonography and FNAC. The diagnosis was confirmed by Histopathological examination if operated and by Tru Cut biopsy if inoperable.
Conclusion: The incidence of benign soft tissue tumours in the study was 89.2% and malignant tumours were 10.8%. Males outnumbered females in both the categories i.e. benign and malignant tumours. Male: Female for benign tumours was 2.1:1 while for malignant tumours it was 1.8:1. The most common site for occurrence for benign tumours was upper limb followed by head, neck and face. Lower limb and back were the most common sites for malignant tumours followed by chest and abdominal wall and head, neck and face.
