Case 38551/03: 50y old male patient, soft tissue mass left popliteal fossa.
Myxoid Liposarcoma • Myxoid and round cell same category • Adults; deep-seated in extremities (thigh) • Histology: • multinodular with increased cellularity at periphery of nodules • myxoid matrix, occ. with mucin pools • typical delicate branching vessels • bland round to oval mesenchymal cells and univacuolated lipoblasts • progression to round cell LPS histological continuum • Genetics: t(12;16)(q13;p11), t(12;22)(q13;q12)
Case 18319/05: 33y old male patient, 4cm deep soft tissue tumour right forearm.
Low Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma • Rare soft tissue sarcoma • Young to middle-aged adults; extremities and trunk; deep • Histology: • circumscribed, low to moderate cellularity • alternating fibrous and myxoid stroma • bland spindle cells, whorled pattern • arcades of blood vessels • occ. giant collagen rosettes • Genetics: t(7;16)(q33;p11)
Case 35841/03: 48y old female patient, 6.5cm intramuscular tumour left buttock.
Intramuscular Myxoma • Important DD for myxoid soft tissue tumours • Middle-aged to older adults; large muscles of limb girdles • Histology: • macro circumscribed, but micro infiltrative • extensive myxoid matrix, hypocellular • bland stellate- and spindle-shaped cells • NO mitoses, pleomorphism, necrosis
Case 34761/09: 77y old male patient, 4cm superficial mass right upper arm.
Myxofibrosarcoma • Rel. common fibroblastic sarcoma; myxoid MFH • Elderly patients; limbs and limb girdles; subcutaneous and deep • Histology: • multinodular with fibrous septa • myxoid stroma • atypical spindle-/stellate-shaped cells, occ. pseudolipoblasts • curvilinear vessels
Case 19222/04: 66y old male patient, haemorrhagic soft tissue tumour right calf.
Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma • Rare soft tissue sarcoma • Middle-aged to older adults; extremities, limb girdles and other sites; often haemorrhagic • Histology: • multinodular • chondromyxoid matrix • cords and networks of cells • eosinophilic cytoplasm, uniform nuclei, few mitoses • focal S100, occ. cytokeratin and EMA • Genetics: t(9;22(q22;12), t(9;17)(q22;q11), t(9;15)(q22;q21)
Case 30750/03: 15y old male patient, large pelvic mass and lymphadenopathy as well as mediastinal and lung lesions on CT. Groin node biopsied.
Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma • Small round blue cell tumour • 10-25 years; often extremities, all other sites possible • Histology: • 3 subtypes: typical, solid, mixed • nests separated by fibrovascular septa • small round nuclei, scant cytoplasm • horse-shoe giant cells common • Myogenin, MyoD1, desmin positive • Genetics: t(1;13)(p36;q14), t(2;13)(q35;q14)
Case 7739/06: 36y old female patient, large tumour tail of pancreas with liver metastases.
Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour • Small round blue cell tumour showing divergent differentiation • Children and adolescents, esp. male; abdominal cavity, retroperitoneum, pelvis • Histology: • nests of variable size surrounded by desmoplastic stroma • small uniform cells with round nuclei, • occ. rhabdoid inclusions • epithelial, smooth muscle and neural markers positive, esp. CK, EMA and desmin (dot-like), WT1 • Genetics: t(11;22)(p13;q12)
Case 24640/04: 42y old male patient, small nodule in the subcutis of the right buttock.
Nodular Fasciitis • Small fibroblastic proliferation • All age groups, mostly young adults; subcutis!, anywhere in body; rapid growth • Histology: • partly loose/feathery, partly cellular • tissue-culture fibroblasts • mitotically active • collagen bundles, hyalinisation, giant cells • SMA positive, desmin negative
NEQAS Case 261: 50y old female patient, small subcutaneous tumour forearm.
Proliferative Fasciitis • A small fibroblastic proliferation similar to nodular fasciitis, but with large ganglion-like cells • Middle-aged and older adults; subcutis, esp. extremities; rapid growth • Histology: • ill-defined • tissue-culture fibroblasts • myxoid/collagenous stroma • large, ganglion-like cells with prominent nucleoli
Case 3821/03: 18y old female patient, calcified soft tissue mass right thigh, recent increase in size, vague history of trauma.
