Disease specific survival following surgical resection of primary soft tissue sarcoma (n=3840) between 1982 and 2014 at a single institution stratified by histologic subtype of primary soft tissue sarcomas.

Distribution of common histologic subtypes of primary soft tissue sarcoma resected from extremity (n=3045) and retroperitoneal/intraabdominal (n=945) locations at a single institution between 1982 and 2014.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Cross sectional imaging (CT) demonstrating a well-differentiated liposarcoma in the posterior compartment of the thigh, encasing the sciatic nerve and hamstring muscles. On both CT and MRI, well-differentiated liposarcoma has imaging characteristics almost identical to normal fat. Enhancing septations may be present and nodularity appears in the context of dedifferentiation.

T2-weighted images from cross-sectional MRI using gadolinium contrast and evaluating a primary myxofibrosarcoma of the right upper arm. An enhancing ‘tail sign’ is demonstrated by the arrow.
