Soft tissue sarcoma of the forearm, wrist and hand are rare. Their benign
appearance leads often to primary inadequate treatment. Due to the complex
anatomy of the hand and forearm, they are challenging to treat. The two goals are
to obtain wide resection of the primary tumor while preserving function.
Limb-sparing surgery is now the cornerstone for the treatment of most sarcomas of
the forearm, hand and wrist. To achieve optimal oncological and functional
outcomes, the surgical excision should be associated with early reconstructive
procedures and a multidisciplinary meeting to define the treatment strategy
including adjuvant medical treatments. This article outlines the current
principles and presents the results of the treatment of soft tissue sarcomas with
emphasis on to particularities related to their forearm, wrist and hand location.
