Sarcomas can be painful, but not always.
Early on, a soft tissue sarcoma might present as a painless lump or swelling. In many cases, there are no symptoms initially. However, as the sarcoma grows, it can press on nerves, organs, or muscles, which can then cause pain. The growth can also lead to a feeling of fullness or even breathing problems depending on its location. Therefore, while not all sarcomas are painful, pain can develop as the tumor progresses.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional if you notice any unusual lumps or swelling, even if they are not initially painful. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing sarcomas effectively.
