Overview

  • Soft tissue sarcoma derived their name from the Greek term for a fleshy excrescences.As early as Galen(130-200C.E.),it was suggested that they were a cancerous tumor.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.In1932 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.

Historical Perspective

Discovery

  • Soft tissue sarcoma derived their name from the Greek term for a fleshy excrescences.[1]
  • As early as Galen(130-200C.E.),it was suggested that they were a cancerous tumor.
  • 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.[2]
