  2. What is Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma? Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare type of cancer that starts mostly in the soft tissues of the body. Soft tissues join, support, and surround other body structures. UPS generally happens in the arms or legs. Less often it could happen in the area behind the abdominal organs (retroperitoneum). The name undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma comes from how cancer cells appear under the microscope. Undifferentiated means the cells do not look like the body tissues in which they develop. The cancer is known as pleomorphic because the cells grow in multiple shapes and sizes. Treatment for UPS depends upon the location of cancer but usually involves surgery, radiation, and drug treatments. UPS used to be known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma.

  3. Symptoms of Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma symptoms depend on where cancer happens. It most usually occurs in the arms and legs, but it could occur anywhere in the body. Signs and symptoms might include: Growing lump or area of swelling If it grows very large, there might be pain, tingling, and numbness If it happens in an arm or leg, there might be swelling in the hand or foot of an affected limb If it happens in the abdomen, there might be a pain, loss of appetite, and constipation Fever Weight loss

  4. Causesof undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma It is not clear what causes undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. Doctors know this cancer starts when a cell develops changes in its DNA. A cell's DNA consists of the instructions that tell a cell what to do. The changes tell the cell to multiply quickly, creating a mass of abnormal cells (tumor). The cells could invade and destroy nearby healthy tissue. In time, the cancer cells could break away and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body, like the lungs and bones.
