    About this ebook

    Authoritative information and practical advice from the nation's cancer experts about the wide variety of childhood soft tissue sarcomas. Starting with the basics, and advancing to detailed patient-oriented and physician-quality information, this comprehensive compilation gives empowered patients, families, caregivers, nurses, and physicians the information they need to understand the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In addition to disease-specific information, this ebook includes a glossary and information on the late effects of treatment for childhood cancer and pediatric supportive care. Soft tissue sarcoma may be found anywhere in the body. In children, the tumors form most often in the arms, legs, or trunk (chest and abdomen). There are many different types of soft tissue sarcomas. The soft tissue tumors are grouped based on the type of soft tissue cell where they first formed. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type of childhood soft tissue sarcoma; it begins in muscles that surround bone. Rhabdomyosarcoma is not discussed in this document. This summary is about the other types of soft tissue sarcoma, including: Desmoid tumor; Dermatofibrosarcoma; Fibrosarcoma; Fibrohistiocytic tumors; Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (also called MFH, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, or spindle cell sarcoma); Plexiform histiocytic tumor; Fat tissue tumors; Liposarcoma; Smooth muscle tumors; Leiomyosarcoma; Blood and lymph vessel tumors; Angiosarcoma; Lymphangiosarcoma; Hemangiopericytoma; Hemangioendothelioma; Peripheral nervous system tumor; Malignant schwannoma (malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor); Bone and cartilage tumors; Extraosseous osteosarcoma; Extraosseous myxoid chondrosarcoma; Extraosseus mesenchymal chondrosarcoma; PEComas; Angiomyolipoma; Lymphangioleiomyomatosis; Clear cell "sugar" tumor; Tumors with more than one type of tissue; Malignant mesenchymoma; Malignant Triton tumor; Malignant ectomesenchymoma; Tumors of unknown origin (the place where the tumor first formed is not known); Alveolar soft part sarcoma; Epithelioid sarcoma; Clear cell sarcoma (malignant melanoma of soft parts); Synovial sarcoma; Desmoplastic small round cell tumor; Undifferentiated soft tissue sarcoma.
