Malignant mesenchymal neoplasms
International Classification of Diseases for Mortality and Morbidity Statistics, 11th Revision, v2024-01
A usually aggressive malignant mesenchymal cell tumour most commonly arising from muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Sarcomas occur in both children and adults. The prognosis depends largely on the degree of differentiation (grade) of the tumour. Representative subtypes are liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma.
