Carcinoma refers to cancers of the epithelium whereas sarcomas refer to cancers of the connective tissue.
I would hazard a guess at carcinoma being more common because it is exposed to more exogenous toxins (e.g. cigarette smoke resulting in bronchial carcinoma) rather than the underlying connective tissue, coupled with the increased mitotic rate of epithelial tissue over connective tissue leading to more genetic defects developing.

Can sarcoma cancer be mistaken as a pulled muscle?
It's possible -- but let's not worry too much yet. I'll explain. In that a sarcoma is a tumor (benign or malignant) that occurs in cartilage or bone, and it's easliest detectable symptom is usually pain in that area, it might feel like a pulled muscle, which also hurts. However, pulled muscles are LOTS more common than sarcoma. There's a saying in medicine: "When you hear hoofbeats, expect horses". In this case, I would not assume the more exotic diagnosis of a sarcoma as the first choice.
