Abstract
The focus of this review is on the management of the less common sarcomas occurring in the retroperitoneal space, including solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) of the psoas muscle. As for other retroperitoneal sarcomas, surgical resection is the mainstay of curative therapy, and multidisciplinary preoperative assessment, including percutaneous needle biopsy for histologic confirmation, is the basis for personalized management, as the surgical management, and the integration of systemic therapy and radiation therapy is unique to each histologic subtype.Entities:
