Epidemiology and clinicopathological features of soft tissue tumors in adolescents: a cross-sectional study
This study provided valuable insights into the characteristics and behavior of STTs in adolescents, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and management. These findings suggest that adolescent STTs affect females more than males , involve the head and neck more and are more benign, with vascular tumours being the most common type of STT in this age group.
