23 patients were treated for soft-tissue sarcoma at "Allgemeines Krankenhaus Heidberg, Hamburg", between 1963 and 1983. Their courses were analysed for this report, with findings being compared to literature data. "Unclassified sarcoma" accounted for the majority of cases hospitalised for treatment, in the period under review. Male and female patients were equal in number. Incidence rates were at their highest in the fifth and seventh decades of age. Most of the primary lesions were recorded from the lower extremities. Painful or indolent swelling was the first clinical symptom in most of the patients involved. The best therapeutic results were achieved by radical surgery. Postoperative radiotherapy did not improve the therapeutic results obtained from operations on the cases reported in this study. Metastases developed in 8 patients, following different primary therapies. Five-year survival rates were found to depend on histological aspects, primary therapy, and number of recurrences.
