Introduction: Soft tissue neoplasms (STNs) are defined as mesenchymal proliferations that occur in the extraskeletal, nonepithelial tissues of our body, excluding the viscera, coverings of brain and lympho–reticular system.

Materials & Methods: The present study is a retrospective and prospective study done for a period of two years. All the specimens were recieved from the department of General Surgery after surgical removal and sent for histopathological examination.

Results: Leiomyoma was the most common benign tumour in our study and fibrosarcoma is the most common malignant tumour in our study and age group 41–50 contributed highest number of cases.

Conclusion: Final diagnosis for all soft tissue tumours is done on histopathological examination, although it is confirmed by Immunohistochemistry. In our study IHC is not done as it is not available in our institute.
