This atlas presents a collection of richly illustrated teaching cases. It covers the fundamentals of orthopedic oncology complemented with relevant aspects that are demonstrated using individual cases. In a specialty that deals with a relatively smaller number of cases compared to tumors of other systems, this atlas prepares readers for clinical practice by combining a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, which lies on the continuum between structured and guided learning, with theory and practical insights.

The book is designed to actively involve the reader, making it an invaluable tool for all orthopedic surgeons confronted with oncologic surgery. The book is intended for trainees in orthopedics, orthopedic oncology fellows as well as practicing consultants.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of both diagnosis and treatment of soft tissue tumors, ranging from imaging and pathological work-up to non-surgical treatment options and limb salvage surgery.

In the first part readers will learn currents concepts, controversial areas and future perspectives in the classification, diagnostics and treatment of soft tissue tumors. The second part is entirely devoted to the presentation of several clinical cases grouped together by anatomical region. On the whole, this work not only shares the most up-to-date knowledge but also envisions a more philosophical and in-depth approach to this challenging group of tumors.

Written by internationally renowned experts in the field, this volume is a must-read for senior orthopedic surgery residents, orthopedic oncology fellows and orthopedic oncologists. It will further appeal to musculoskeletal pathologists and radiologists as well as clinical, pediatric and radiation oncologists, wishing to deepening their knowledge of soft tissue tumors.
