Abstract

Soft tissue sarcomas of the hand and foot comprise a rare subgroup of mesenchymal tumors with more favorable oncological prognosis. For this type of tumors, several options of surgical treatment exist depending on histological subtype, size and local tumor advancement. Additionally, due to significant functional load on the distal parts of the limbs, surgical techniques for treatment of these patients have specific characteristics. However, publications on progression characteristics and prognosis of soft tissue sarcomas of the hand and foot are lacking.This review describes soft tissue sarcomas of the hand and foot and analyzes surgical techniques for treatment of patients with this type of tumor.
