  2. Identifying Data • 52 y/o Female, Filipino, Married, from Cainta, Rizal • Admitted for the 1st time: June 20, 2010

  3. Chief Complaint • Right posterolateral thigh mass of 1 year duration • Weakness of 1 week duration

  4. HPI • 1 year PTA – initial symptoms • Soft, nontender, non erythematous, raised, movable, 1.5 cm posterior thigh, progressive growth • Pertinent positives: • Pertinent negatives: no bloody discharge

  5. HPI • 2 months PTA- • 3 cm , inc in size, bloody discharge on manipulation • Pertinent negatives: no fever, wt loss, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, pain, limitation on movement

  6. HPI • 1 week PTA • Generalized weakness, anorexia, inc in size with excessive bloody discharge (daily) • Incision & Drainage done

  7. TEMPORAL PROFILE

  8. Pertinent Negatives • (-) Hypertension, DM • (-) Past hospitalization, surgery • (-) Smoking, alcohol intake, drug abuse • (-) Family History of HTN, DM, CA

  9. Pertinent Negatives • (-) Weight loss • (-) Limitation in movement • (-) Pain • (-) Exposure to radiation

  10. Pertinent Positives • (+) Anorexia • (+) Bleeding, ulcerating lesion

  11. Notes upon Admission • - ECOG • - Karnofsky • - pale conjunctiva, lips • - pale dry skin • - post. Lateral thigh mass • - 10x10 cm • - firm • - non movable • - pruritic on manipulation • - poorly defined borders • - Excoriating pain, necrotic • - anorexia

  12. Diagnostic Work-up

  13. Diagnostic Work-up

  14. Diagnostic Work-up

  15. Diagnostic Work-up

  16. Diagnostic Work-up • CXR and EKG are normal • Wound specimen revealed heavy growth of P. mirabilis mixed with P. aeruginosa

  17. Diagnostic Work-up • CT Scan (6/22/10): • An irregular mass-like density (2.0 x 4.3 x 4.6 cm) with central air density was seen on subcutaneous region of the right posterolateral thigh surrounded with fat stranding. A nodular, soft density (0.9 x 1.1 x 0.9 cm), most likely an enlarged lymph node, identified in the right inguinal region. No abnormal findings in osseous and soft tissue structures of the left thigh.

  18. Problem #1Right posterolateral thigh mass

  19. Problem #1Right posterolateral thigh mass • Origin- subcutaneous region (CT scan) • Lesion- lobulated; same radio-density as muscle; continuous with the skin • Presence of fat stranding: - damage to the surrounding fat tissue - deeper infiltration - non-movable nodule

  20. Problem #2Anemia & Unstable Angina

  21. Problem #2Anemia & UNSTABLE ANGINA • Growing mass with bloody discharge  Anemia • Evidenced by: decreased hemoglobin and hematocrit levels • ↓Systemic Oxygen Transportation • ↓ Oxygen reaching Cardiac Muscles • Heart compensates via vasoconstriction and ↑ HR • Sustained anemia, inadequate oxygenation  Cardiac muscles become fatigued  Bradycardia • Imbalance in myocardial oxygen demand and supply  Unstable angina and NSTEMI

  22. Problem #3Infection

  23. Problem #3Infection • 1 week PTA: incision and drainage • Predisposed to nosocomial infection • Local infection: (-) fever, unremarkable PE • ↑WBC with neutrophil predominance -Indicating subclinical infectious process present • (+) P. aeruginosa and P. mirabilis - most common bacteria in nosocomial infections

  24. Problem #3Infection • Treatment : • Unasyn • Ampicillin+ Sulfabactam • Indicated for P.mirabilis, S. aures, E.coli • Metronidazole • anaerobic bacteria eg. P. aeruginosa

  25. Differential Diagnoses • Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans • Liposarcoma • Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma

  26. Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans • HISTORY AND PE • Primary fibrosarcoma of the skin • Incidence: 5% (relatively uncommon) • Age of incidence: 20-50 y/o • Rare in very young or very old • Slight male predominance • Locally aggressive • High recurrence rate

  27. Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans • HISTORY AND PE • Presentation: Aggregated protuberant tumors within a firm indurated plaque that may ulcerate • Mobile on palpation • Bloody in latter stages • Varying color from fleshy to reddish brown

  28. Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans • RADIOLOGIC FINDINGS • CT: Attached to the skin; used to visualize bone invasion

  29. Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans • DIAGNOSTIC TESTS • Biopsy • Expected findings: Cellular neoplasm, composed of fibroblasts arranged radially, in a storiform pattern; Mitoses may be present; Epidermis is thinned

  30. Liposarcoma • HISTORY AND PE • Old age; Mean age of incidence: 40-60 y/o • Peak incidence during 50’s • 2nd most common soft tissue sarcoma • Incidence: 14% • Male predilection • Mass is painful in 5% of patients

  31. Liposarcoma • HISTORY AND PE • Presentation: slowly enlarging, painless, non-ulcerating mass • May be retroperitoneal • 40% occuring in lower extremities • Popliteal, thigh, or gluteal areas • Most patients are asymptomatic until tumor is large

  32. Liposarcoma • RADIOLOGIC FINDINGS • X-ray: radio opaque • CT: indistinguishable from other soft tissue sarcomas such as MFH, dermotofibrosarcoma protuberans, etc. • MRI: may appear cystic; not preferred

  33. Liposarcoma • DIAGNOSTIC TESTS • Depends on biopsy • Expected findings: lipoblasts are almost always present  indicate fatty differentiation; they mimic fetal fat cells and contain round, clear cytoplasmic vacuoles that scallop the nucleus

  34. Liposarcoma • RADIOLOGIC FINDINGS • X-ray: radio opaque • CT: indistinguishable from other soft tissue sarcomas such as MFH, dermotofibrosarcoma protuberans, etc. • MRI: not preferred

  35. Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma • HISTORY AND PE • Old age; mean age of occurrence: 50-70 y/o • Most common soft tissue sarcoma • Incidence: 24% • Presentation: Enlarging, painless mass in the thigh • Typically 5-10 cm in diameter • Occurs in deep fascia or skeletal muscle • 75% occurring in lower extremities

  36. Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma • RADIOLOGIC FINDINGS • CT: nonspecific; lobulated; soft tissue; same radiodensity as muscle; • Permeative and lytic, often extending into adjacent soft tissue • if with bone involvement, parallel with that of the long bone • if subcutaneous involvement – continuous with the skin; ill defined borders • fat attenuation is not found in the tumor

  37. Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma • RADIOLOGIC FINDINGS • X-ray: soft tissue mass density • 10% will show diffuse calcifications • MRI – appears with same density as muscle

  38. Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma • DIAGNOSTIC TESTS • Needs core biopsy • Expected findings: background of spindled fibroblasts arranged in a storiform pattern admixed wit large, ovoid, bizarre multinucleated tumor giant cells

  39. Clinical Impression • Soft tissue sarcoma • To Consider: • Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma • Liposarcoma
