Sarcoma

Cancer of the connective or supportive tissue (bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels) and soft tissues.


A connective tissue neoplasm formed by proliferation of mesodermal cells; it is usually highly malignant.


A cancer that arises from connective tissues, muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments.


A cancer of connective tissue such as bone, muscle or cartilage.


General term for a kind of malignant tumor, or cancer, in soft or connective tissues, bone, or muscles, including fibrous body organs, blood vessels, the lymph system, the meninges (membrane covering the brain), and cartilage, sometimes associated with radiation or burn scars. Small sarcomas can be cut out and the area treated with radiation therapy, but large sarcomas in the limbs may require amputation.


Malignant neoplasm arising in bone, muscle, or other connective tissue.


A type of cancerous tumor arising in a number of tissues, including bones, cartilage, connective tissues, muscles, the inner layer of the skin, fibrous tissues, fat, blood vessels, nerves, the linings of the chest and abdominal cavities, and the coverings of the lungs, abdominal organs, and heart. Although sarcomas can arise almost anywhere in the body, they most commonly occur in the fat or muscle of an arm or leg. The most common symptom is soreness or swelling that progressively worsens.


Any cancer of connective tissue. These tumors may occur in any part of the body, as they arise in the tissues that make up an organ rather than being restricted to a particular organ. They can arise in fibrous tissue, muscle, fat, bone, cartilage, synovium, blood and lymphatic vessels, and various other tissues.


A cancer arising from mesenchymal tissue such as muscle or bone, which may affect the bones, bladder, kidneys, liver, lungs, parotids, and spleen.


An oncological condition, hailing from the connective fabric encompassing bones and muscles, epitomizes an intriguing variant of malignancy.


A form of cancer that originates in connective tissue, responsible for maintaining the structure of body parts. Various types exist, such as osteosarcoma, Kaposi’s sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and fibrosarcoma.


A highly aggressive tumor that originates from connective tissue cells. There are multiple varieties, each named after the tissue from which they emerge. For instance, chondrosarcomas come from cartilage, fibrosarcomas from fibrous tissue, liposarcomas from fat, melanosarcomas from mucous tissue, and osteosarcomas from bone.


A collection of tumors typically originating from connective tissue, though the term now encompasses some of epithelial origin, with most being malignant. Various types are identified with prefixes indicating the specific tissue or structure involved.
