A clinicopathologic study of 48 patients of sarcoma was performed. This mlignant neoplasm principally of middle and late adults occurred most often in the body surface (58％).
Forty six patients were treated by surgery with wide or marginal or palliative resection. In two only biopsy was done. Adjuvant chemotherapy was added in 27 patients.
Histological grading of surgical specimens was Stage I in 9, II in 16, III in 18 and IV in 5.
The evaluation of prognosis showed that wide resection with lymph node dissection was most excellent procedure as the operative methods. Regarding histological grading, significant difference between Stage I＋II and III＋IV could be detected in the survival rates (p＜0.05). The adjuvant chemotherapy used did not affect the prognosis.
