We report three cases in different sites clinically presented as soft tissue sarcoma, but histopathology turned out to be benign tumors. Sites of the tumors are in unusual location, with relatively short duration from clinical presentation. All the cases ends in complete exicision for final diagnosis. These cases also serve as a reminder that coon complaints can be a sign of significant pathology.
