Soft Tissue Sarcomas is sometimes misdiagnosed as Morton’s Neuroma

It has been reported that some patients have been misdiagnosed with Morton’s Neuroma, when in fact the correct diagnosis in their specific case was Soft Tissue Sarcomas.

The characteristics of the tumor including size, type and location will indicate the type of treatment best suited to treat soft tissue sarcoma. Surgery is the most common treatment. Radiation therapy, as well as chemotherapy and targeted drug treatment are also options. Diagnosis is confirmed by imaging tests such as X-Rays, CT, MRI and PET scans. A biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis.

Always consult your doctor or health professional, and do not self diagnose.

Symptoms can include:

Painless lump, abdominal pain, persistent feeling of fullness and constipation, cough or breathlessness

Symptoms are a guideline only and may apply to either the diagnosis or the reported misdiagnosis, or both. Consult your specialist for further information.
