Background: Soft tissue tumors are defined as mesenchymal proliferations which occur in the extraskeletal nonepithelial tissues of the body, excluding the viscera, coverings of brain and lymphoreticular system. Soft tissue tumours are a highly heterogeneous group of tumours that are classified on a histogenetic basis according to the adult tissue they resemble Objective: To study the incidence of Soft tissue tumors at Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital and to study the morphological incidence of various Soft tissue tumors among different age groups and sex. Methods: In the Present Study, all operated cases; excised biopsies and resected specimens are taken into consideration. After processing detail microscopic examination was carried out. Results: The peak age of incidence of soft tissue tumors was between 3rd to 4th decades of age, with the male: female ratio 1.37:1. Benign tumors (89.3%) are more common than malignant tumors (10%). Most common soft tissue tumor is Lipomatous tumors. Conclusion: The study can contribute to epidemiologic knowledge of soft tissue tumors.
