Large soft tissue tumor excision in the medial aspect of left thigh!!
To start off, soft tissue is the supportive tissue of various organs and the nonepithelial, extraskeletal structures exclusive of lymphohematopoietic tissues. It includes fibrous connective tissue, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, blood/lymph vessels, and the peripheral nervous system.
Tumors are classified according to histogenetic features. Fibrosarcoma, for example, is a tumor arising from fibroblasts, and liposarcomas arise from a lipoblasts.
At the clinical level, soft tissue tumors (or sarcomas) are classified according to location, growth pattern, likelihood of recurrence, presence and distribution of metastases, patient age, and prognosis.
Most soft-tissue tumors respect fascial boundaries, remaining confined to the compartment of origin until the later stages of development.
Once the tumor reaches the anatomic limits of the compartment, the tumor is more likely to breach compartmental boundaries.
Complete local excision is adequate treatment for benign soft-tissue tumors. However, a variety of treatment options, including surgery alone or combined with radiation therapy or chemotherapy, may be considered for treatment of localized primary and recurrent sarcomas.

A 35-year-old lady with a ton of cutaneous neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis!! Neurofibromatosis type 1, NF-1 in short, is a condition characterized by changes in skin coloring (pigmentation) and the growth of tumors along nerves in the skin, brain, and other parts of the body.
Adults develop neurofibromas, which are noncancerous (benign) tumors that are usually located on or just under the skin.
Many have also multiple café-au-lait spots, which are flat patches on the skin that are darker than the surrounding area.
NF-1 is caused by a mutation of a gene on the long arm of chromosome 17 which encodes a protein known as neurofibromin, which is a negative regulator of the Ras oncogene signal transduction pathway.
When Ras isn’t regulated, it is overexpressed. These are a family of proteins that are involved in cellular signal transduction. A cascade effect occurs when ras is “switched on” by incoming signals, leading to activation of other proteins, which, in turn, activate genes responsible for cell growth and differentiation, hence leading to neurofibromas.
Due to their benign nature, neurofibromas should be surgically excised only when symptomatic.
