Soft tissue pathology is the study of diseases that affect tissues other than bone and cartilage. These tissues include muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, blood vessels, nerves, and fat.
Soft tissue tumors generally fall within the following seven categories:
- Adipose tissue
- Fibrous tissue
- Skeletal muscle
- Smooth muscle
- Vascular tissue
- Nerve sheath tissue
- Uncertain origin
