Sarcoma
MONDO:0005089A usually aggressive malignant neoplasm of the soft tissue or bone. It arises from muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Sarcomas occur in both children and adults. The prognosis depends largely on the degree of differentiation (grade) of the neoplasm. Representative subtypes are liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma.
Also known as: mesenchymal tumor, malignant, sarcoma, sarcoma of soft tissue and bone, sarcoma of the soft tissue and bone, sarcoma, malignant, tumor of soft tissue and skeleton, tumour of soft tissue and skeleton
