Introduction–Soft tissue tumors (STTs) are uncommon, diverse group of neoplasms, accounting for 2% of surgical pathology material. Benign STTs are more common than malignant. Material and methods–The present study was conducted from January 2018– June 2019 in the department of pathology of a tertiary care hospital. A total number of 120 STTs were studied during this period. Results–Out of total 120 cases, most of the STTs were on extremities (70%). There was preponderance of benign STTs (87%) than malignant STTs (13%). Conclusion– The clinico–morphological evaluation with IHC studies is the gold standard for the proper diagnosis of STTs.
