Many benigntumors are found in soft tissues. The word benign means they're not cancer. These tumors can't spread to other parts of the body. Some soft tissue tumors behave in ways between a cancer and a non-cancer. However, when we talk about sarcoma that means cancer only. They can be found in any part of the body. Most of them start in the arms or legs. There are almost 50 types of soft tissue sarcomas.

X ray
MRI
Ultrasound
Tissue biopsy.
