Very low chance: Tissue sarcomas are rare, represent <1% of all malignancies. The american cancer society estimates about 2430 new cases of sarcoma this year (adult and pediatric ages, https://www.cancer.org/cancer/soft-tissue-sarcoma/about/key-statistics.html ). The main presentation is a painless lump that progressively grows but there are so many other reasons for lumps like lipomas that are way more common.
