Sarcomas are cancers of the various types of connective tissue we have such as adipose/fat tissue (liposarcomas) bone (osteosarcoma), or skeletal muscle (rhabdomyosarcoma). There are certain genetic conditions that can predispose an individual to developing sarcomas, but I doubt most sarcomas happen that way since most of these inherited conditions are uncommon.
