Abstract

The aim in this study, musculoskeletal system fibrosarcomas which are rare malignant soft tissue tumors that originate from fibroblasts, was to evaluate the mid-term outcome of patients that were diagnosed, treated and followed-up at our clinics. Methods: Included in the study were 12 patients treated for fibrosaecoma at our clinics between 2014 and 2017. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, location of tumor and time of resection, and were followed-up for mid-term recurrence. A wide resection was performed on all patients. Results: No recurrence was found in all but one patient during follow-up. Conclusions: Musculoskeletal system fibrosarcomas are rare but represent high mortality and morbidity risks since the diagnosis is commonly delayed. The most frequently seen symptom is a painless mass reaching large dimensions. Early diagnosis plays a major role in prognosis, as is the case with other malignant tumors. In conclusion, we suggest that malignancy should be considered in the presence of giant, fixed and painful tumors, and a wide resection should be applied.

Key words: Soft tumor, fibrosarcoma, wide resection, recurrence, primary organs, diagnose
