26 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
SubQ level; found in mediastinum, retroperitoneum, bowel wall; encapsulated, compsed of mature adipose tissue
Lipoma
2nd MC sarc. in adults; deep soft tissue; thigh, retoperitoneum; lipoblasts in different grades of differentiation; poorly differentiated tumors; chromosomal abnormalities: translocation and ring chromosomes identified
Liposarcoma
Mobile, well defined nodule in subQ tissues; mainly limbs; similar to fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, histiocytes; aka dermatofibromas
Benign Fibrous Histiocytoma
Extremities, ab. cavity, retroperitoneum + other sites; Lobulated, fleshy, infiltrating tumors w/ areas of hemorrhaging and necrosis; Histo: pleomorphic anaplastic spindle cells; storiform pattern w/ tumor giant cells and abnormal mitoses; metastesis is mainly through the blood to the lungs
Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (aka Pleomorphic Spindle Cell Carcinoma)
around teeth, in ovaries; well-defined gray masses; mature fibrous tissue
Fibroma
deep soft tissue; thigh; gray soft, fish-flesh infiltrating large masses w/ spindle cell growth w/ anaplasia and other features of malignancy; Herringbone pattern
Fibrosarcoma
rare, benign tumor of skel. musc; mature skel musc.; tongue, heart, tuberous sclerosis (mutationsin chroms. 9 or 16; benign tumors in the brain, heart, kidney, retina, and skin; seizures, mental retardation, s/s of other lesions)
Rhabdomyoma
Rhabdomyomas in the brain present as
Cortical tubers and subependymal hamartomas
MC soft tissue sarc. in children and young adults; immunohistochemical evidence of skel. musc. (biomarkers: actin, desmin, and myogenin)
Rhabdosarcoma
head and neck (orbit, nasophar., mid. ear) also in retoperitoneum, UG tract; sheets of small round cells
Embryonal Rhabdosarcoma
GU, biliary, URT; young children; polypoid, soft, grape-like appearance; undifferentiated rhabdosarcoma in myxoid tissue
Botryoid Rhabdosarcoma
Occur in extremities; undifferentiated rhabdomyoblasts in alveolar or pseudoglandular arrangement
Alveolar Rhabdosarcoma
Adult >45 y/o; mostly mm. of lower limbs; Large, atypical tumor cells, resemble pleomorphic spindle cells; highly malignant, but respond to chemo
Pleomorphic Rhabdosarcoma
Diabetics, alcoholics, and epileptics, APC gene mutation carriers, and those with familial adenomatous polyposis have an increased incidence of
Fibromatosis
Usually 2ndary to trauma, reactive cell prolif.; adults; small masses 1ly in extremities showing rapid growth; fibroblasts in loose myxoid backgroiund; enlarged nuclei, mitosis, NO ANAPHASE features; recurrence after excision is UNcommon
Nodular Fasciitis
Circumscribed, non-encapsulated mass w/in muscle, ususally extremities (quads); proliferated bibroblasts in myxoid stroma, associated w/ cartilage and bone formation; Usually the result of trauma, and areas of hemorrhages may also be present
Traumatic Myositis Ossificans
Low grade fibrosarcoma, usually locally invasive; DOES NOT METASTASIZE
Fibromatosis (Desmoid tumor/Aggressive Fibromatosis)
affects mothers in the perinatal period
Abdominal Fibromatosis
Which type of Fibromatosis affects Men and Women equally?
Extra-abdominal Fibromatosis
may be associated with Gardner's syndrome (=familial adenomatous polyposis, multiple osteomas, desmoid tumors)
Intra-abdominal Fibromatosis
Characteristics of fibromatosis
invades surrounding tissues, non-encapsulated exuberant fibroproliferative lesions
Presentation of fibromatosis
fibrous overgrowth infiltrates masses in ant. ab. wall (mainly in females), neck, shoulder ares, and pelvic girdle area
Gross appearance of Fibromatosis
White, sarcoma-like tumor
Histological appearance of Fibromatosis
bands of fibrocytes and collagenous tissue
Dapuytren Contracture
a special form of fibromatosis found on palms of hands
Peyronie Disease
Special form of fibromatosis found on the penis
