A tumor or abnormal growth located in the soft tissue of the back or flank (the side of the torso) is surgically removed, with the surgeon typically taking some surrounding tissue as a margin depending on the type and depth of the growth. This helps ensure the growth is fully removed and reduces the chance it will return.
