摘要：
Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) constitute a rare and challenging group of solid tumor in the field of oncology. Unlike other malignancies STS can affect a wide variety of anatomical regions in the body with varied histo-pathological variants and clinical outcomes. There are controversies in the diagnosis and management of STS due to rarity and heterogeneity of the disease entity. Due to dedicated research and advances made in the field of imaging, pathology, surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy certain controversies were laid to rest and treatment approach to STS could be standardized to a large extent in the recent past. A review of controversies related to STS was performed in this article and an attempt was made to present a balanced view pertaining to these issues.
