AB  - The  World  Health  Organization  divides  soft  tissue  tumors  into  4  categories  based  on  clinical  behavior:  benign,  intermediate  (locally  aggressive),  intermediate  (rarely  metastasizing),  and  malignant.  Benign  soft  tissue  tumors  such  as  lipoma,  nodular  fasciitis,  and  hemangioma  predominate  in  pediatric  patients.  Certain  intermediate-behavior  soft  tissue  tumors,  including  desmoid-type  fibromatosis  and  dermatofibrosarcoma  protuberans,  occur  frequently  in  childhood.  The  more  than  30  histologic  subtypes  of  malignant  soft  tissue  tumors  comprise  approximately  7%  of  all  cancers  among  children  and  adolescents.  In  children,  rhabdomyosarcoma  (RMS)  is  by  far  the  most  common  soft  tissue  sarcoma,  accounting  for  about  40%  of  cases.  Because  RMS  predominates,  the  remaining  malignant  soft  tissue  tumors  are  often  referred  to  as  non-rhabdomyosarcoma  soft  tissue  sarcoma  (NRSTS).
