Sarkom (från grekiskans σάρξ, sarx, "kött") avser en elakartad (malign) bindvävstumör som har sitt ursprung från mesenchymala celler. Beroende på från vilken typ av vävnad den bildats ur får den olika benämningar, som:
- Fibrosarkom ur bindväv
- Lymfosarkom ur lymfkörtlar
- Retikelcellsarkom ur celler tillhörande det retikuloendoteliala systemet
- Liposarkom ur fettceller
- Osteosarkom ur ben
- Synovialsarkom uppstår nära leder i arm och ben
- Angiosarkom uppstår i blodkärlens väggar
- Leiomyosarkom i glatt muskulatur
Endast 1 procent av diagnostiserade cancerfall gäller sarkom.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) image of a sarcoma This image of a sarcoma, or muscle tumor, was obtained using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This technique is similar to ultrasound, and yields images of tissues below the surface. The images are on a micron scale, and they are gathered by measuring scattered light waves that bounce off of tissue. In this picture, the tissue looks healthy and normal on the left. To the right, the structure appears cancerous and irregular. Images like this one, obtained by using OCT in real-time, can help to promote human health by detecting tumors early during image-guided procedures, and allowing time for treatment.
