|
What is especially important when grading a tumor
|
necrosis and mitotic rate = high grade
|
|

|

|
Myositis Ossificans
|
post-traumatic bony metaplasia
adolescents/young adults swollen/painful --> hard, well demarcated bony mass Differential = osteosarcoma |
|
Fibromatosis
|
infiltrative fibrobast proliferations
disfiguring, disturb function, may recur 1-15cm in size, grey-white and firm, rubbery and poorly demarcated Histo: myofibroblast, plump cells, broad sweeping fasicles, penetrate adjacent tissue, infrequent mitoses, early lesions are CELLULAR, later are less cellular with abundant collagen |
|
Superficial fubromatosis
|
usually men
deformation of hand, foot, penis Eponyms: Palmar = Dupuytrens Contracture; Penile = Peyronie's Disease |
|

|
20s and 30s.
Muscles of trunk or extremities APC gene mutation Beta Catenin gene overexpression Some responsive to Tamoxifen Gardner syndrome |
|
Desmoid Tumors
|
Deep fibromatoses of the abdomen.
Can be deadly after repeat resections and recurrances |
|
Treatment of fibromatoses
|
Some superficial ones may stabilize
Resection, but often recur repeatedly Some respond to Tamoxifen Others insensitive to chemo/radiation |
|
Fibroma
|
rare benign lesion
well demarcated white nodule mature fibroblasts and copious collagen |
|

well differentiated = primary of mature adipocytes with some identifiable lipoblasts myxoid type = distinctive histologic appearance with blueish myxoid background matrix and prominent chicken wire vasculature Round cell and pheomorphic = agressive, reoccur after excision and metastasize to lungs |
|
chicken wire vasculature
|
myxoid liposarcoma

|
Rhabdomyoscarcoma
Histology: pattern varients are prognostic |
Embryonic, pleomorphic, alveolar
