In this review, we first address the anatomic and technical considerations in the resection of pelvic soft tissue tumors, including the challenges unique to these tumors, such as the narrow anatomic confines of the bony pelvis, the often locally aggressive nature of these tumors, as well as the major functional deficits that may result from their resection. We then review the optimal, multidisciplinary, histology‐driven treatment approach to pelvic tumors.
