Overview
Soft tissue sarcoma derived their name from the greek term for a fleshy lump. Around 460 B.C, Hippocrates recognized soft tissue tumors in the arm and thigh in older people and recommended the removal by knife as therapy. In 200 C.E., a greek physician named Galen suggested that these lumps were cancerous tumors. The exact cause of leiomyosarcoma still is not well understood because of rarety of disease.
