Introduction: The aim of this study was to describe patient characteristics, treatment, and oncologic outcomes of soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) of the hand.
Methods: Sixty-nine STSs of the hand in adult patients treated at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively included. We describe patient and tumor characteristics along with oncologic outcomes.
Benign soft-tissue tumors of the hand are more common than both their benign bone and malignant soft-tissue counterparts. This study evaluates the characteristics and treatment of benign soft tissue tumors in light of 1 institution's experience. Histologically confirmed benign soft-tissue tumors of the hand were retrospectively identified using International Classification of Disease codes from 1992 to 2015.

This study evaluates the characteristics and treatment of benign bone tumors in light of one institution's experience. Histologically confirmed benign tumors of the hand were retrospectively identified using International Classification of Diseases codes from 1992 to 2015.

The aim of this study is to compare STS of the hand with initial treatment at an oncology center versus those initially treated at a non-oncology center. Additionally, we evaluated what factors were associated with oncologic outcomes.
