Relationship between metastasis and tumor type, grade, tumor origin, nerve involvement, amputation, surgical margins, and local recurrence

	Metastasis (-) n = 37 (%68.5)	Metastasis ( +) n = 17 (%31.5)	p
Primary tumor Recurrent tumor	27 (%73.0) 10 (%27.0)	15 (%35.7) 2 (%11.8)	0.300
High grade Low grade	25 (%67.6) 12 (%32.4)	11 (%64.7) 6 (%35.3)	0.836
Soft tissue tumor Bone tumor	28 (%75.7) 9 (%24.3)	5 (%29.4) 12 (%70.6)	0.001*
Nerve involvement	3 (%8.1)	2 (%11.8)	0.645
Amputation	4 (%10.8)	3 (%17.6)	0.665

Local recurrence	6 (%16.2)	5 (%29.4)	0.293

^*In this series, statistically significant metastases were seen in bone tumors compared to soft tissue tumors
