Clinical and radiologic features of soft tissue sarcoma in trunk and extremities that underwent unplanned excision.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To identify the clinical and imaging characteristics of soft tissue sarcomas (STS) of the trunk and extremities that undergo unplanned excision.

Methods

This retrospective study evaluated the data of patients with STS in the trunk or extremities between January 2008 and December 2021. Patients were divided into unplanned and planned excision groups based on their initial treatment. The distribution of histologic subtypes was analyzed, and the magnetic resonance imaging features were evaluated. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify variables independently associated with unplanned excision.

Results

A total of 305 patients (mean age±standard deviation, 51±16.4 years; 179 males) were analyzed. The most prevalent subtype in the unplanned e
