Overview
- Soft tissue sarcoma derived their name from the Greek term for a fleshy excrescences. Early reports of myxoid liposarcoma by Severinius(1580-1637) and retroperitoneal sarcoma by Morgagni (1682-1771) have been recorded.An Edinburg surgeon, Wardrop( 1782-1869),who studied in Vienna,describes the term soft cancer.Charles Bell ( 1772-1842) ,in his book Surgical Observations, published in 1816, has been credited with the utilization of the term soft tissue sarcoma to differentiate it form carcinoma.In 1804, Abernethy describes the first classification of the sarcoma.In 1932 Stout (1885-1967) published a seminal monograph on the pathology and treatment of sarcoma.Ewing was one of the first to list benign and malignant counterparts of tumors arising in soft tissues.Celsus (25 BC to AD 50), a native of Greece practicing in Rome, separated benign tumors, eg, lipoma, from malignant growths, cancer.

Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Soft tissue sarcoma derived their name from the Greek term for a fleshy excrescence.[1]
- Hippocrates (460–375 BC) recognized soft tissue tumor in arms and thighs of older patients and suggested removal by knife for treatment. [2]
- In the mid 19th century pathologists described that sarcomas on the basis of their tissues of origin. [3]
- Early reports of myxoid liposarcoma by Severinius(1580-1637) and retroperitoneal sarcoma by Morgagni (1682-1771) have been recorded.
- An Edinburg surgeon, Wardrop( 1782-1869),who studied in Vienna,describes the term soft cancer.
- Charles Bell ( 1772-1842) ,in his book Surgical Observations, published in 1816, has been credited with the utilization of the term soft tissue sarcoma to differentiate it form carcinoma.
- In 1804, Abernethy describes the first classification of the sarcoma.
- In 1932 Stout( 1885-1967) published a seminal monograph on the pathology and treatment of sarcoma.
- Ewing was one of the first to list benign and malignant counterparts of tumors arising in soft tissues.
- In 1944, the first description of liposarcoma has been attributed to Stout, also at Memorial Sloan Kettering, as was the description with Ackerman of Leiomyosarcoma of soft tissue in 1947.
- In 1897, Griffon et al reported the first case of LMS of the gallbladder.[4]
- Primary bone Leiomyosarcoma was first described in 1965 [5]by Evans and Sanerkin.[6]
