Soft tissue and bone sarcomas include more than 50 distinct heterogeneous histologic subtypes of mesenchymal origin which are classified based on the histological and genetic features of the mature tissue they most resemble. Overall, they are very rare tumors whose incidence is estimate between 4-5 and 1 per 100, 000 per year, for soft tissue and bone sarcomas, respectively. They make up for approximately 1% of all malignancies and about 50% to 60% of sarcomas occur in the extremities. The aim of the article was to provide an overview on the main sarcoma affecting the limb with the principles of reconstructive microsurgery both for bone and soft tissues.

Abstract
Soft tissue and bone sarcomas include more than 50 distinct heterogeneous histologic subtypes of mesenchymal origin which are classified based on the histological and genetic features of the mature tissue they most resemble. Overall, they are very rare tumors whose incidence is estimate between 4-5 and 1 per 100, 000 per year, for soft tissue and bone sarcomas, respectively. They make up for approximately 1% of all malignancies and about 50% to 60% of sarcomas occur in the extremities. The aim of the article was to provide an overview on the main sarcoma affecting the limb with the principles of reconstructive microsurgery both for bone and soft tissues.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
