Soft-tissue Sarcoma
Soft-tissue sarcoma is a type of cancer that develops in the non-bony connective tissues of the body. The soft tissues of the body connect, surround, and support the body's internal organs and structures. These soft tissues include muscles, joints, nerves, tendons, fat, and blood vessels.

Kaposi Sarcoma
Kaposi sarcoma is a type of soft-tissue sarcoma that starts in immature cells in the walls of blood vessels and lymph vessels. Kaposi sarcoma usually appears as pink, red, purple, or brown lesions on the skin or mouth, but it can also affect internal organs, most commonly the digestive tract and lungs. This disease is often found in people with AIDS and in those receiving immunosuppressive therapy for an organ transplant.

Rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) forms from immature cells that normally develop and mature into skeletal muscles, which are the muscles that are attached to the bones and help the body move. Rhabdomyosarcoma may affect children of two different age groups. Embryonal RMS develops in infants and young children under the age of 5, and alveolar RMS develops in teens and adolescents between the ages of 14 and 20.
