Abstract
One hundred and seven patients with bone and soft tissue tumors in the upper extremities, including shoulder girdles were surgically treated between 1982 and 1994. These included 41 benign bone tumors, 55 benign soft tissue tumors, 2 malignant bone tumors and 9 soft tissue sarcomas. However it is reasonable and enough treatment for benign turors, that curettage and/or bone graft or simple resection were performed, it is relatively difficult to preserve function of the upper extremities for the surgical treatment of bone and soft tissue sarcomas.
Out of 107 cases, two local recurrences in the benign soft tissue tumors and five metastases in the bone and soft tissue sarcomas, were observed after surgery.
