A member asked:
Which type of tissue gives rise to a sarcoma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Connective tissue: During development of a fetus, there are different layers, ectoderm, mesenchyme; mesenchymal tissue eventually forms bones, cartilage, fat, muscle, vascular tissue (blood vessels); so sarcoma arises from mesenchymal derived tissue and is named as such (bone-osteosarcoma; fat-liposarcoma etc); hope this helps;.
