  1. It is a cancer disease.


  2. Sarcoma is a general class of uncommon cancers in which the cancer cells arise from or resemble normal cells in the body known as "connective tissues".  Normal "connective tissues" include fat, muscle, blood vessels, deep skin tissues, nerves, bones, and cartilage. Cancers of cells which resemble any of these normal tissues are known as "sarcomas".  Sarcomas are sub-classified based upon the specific type of cell that makes up the cancer.  

    Liposarcomas are malignant tumors which develop from fat tissue. They can develop anywhere in the body, but they most often grow in the retroperitoneum (tissue at the back of the abdominal cavity).

    Leiomyosarcomas are malignant tumors which develop from smooth muscle tissue.  (Smooth muscle is the type of muscle over which your brain does not have conscious control like the muscle fibers in the uterus or in the walls of blood vessels.)  They can arise anywhere in the body but the uterus or gastrointestinal tract are two relatively common locations for leiomyosarcoma.

    Synovial Sarcoma is a malignant tumor made up of cells which resemble the cells in joints. ("Synovial cells" line the joints.)  However, synovial sarcoma does not necessarily arise in any joint, and the name is probably a misnomer, since the cancer cells are probably quite different from normal joint cells.  Synovial sarcomas can arise in any location in the body, and it often appears in young adults.
