    The evolving classification of soft tissue tumours: an update based on the new WHO classification

    HISTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 1 2006
    C D M Fletcher
    Tumour classifications have become an integral part of modern oncology and, for pathologists, they provide guidelines which facilitate diagnostic and prognostic reproducibility. In many organ systems and most especially over the past decade or so, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications have become pre-eminent, partly enabled by the timely publication of new ,blue books' which now incorporate detailed text and copious illustrations. The new WHO classification of soft tissue tumours was introduced in late 2002 and, because it represents a broad consensus view, it has gained widespread acceptance. This review summarizes the changes, both major and minor, which were introduced and briefly describes the significant number of tumour types which have been first recognized or properly characterized during the past decade. Arguably the four most significant conceptual advances have been: (i) the formal recognition that morphologically benign lesions (such as cutaneous fibrous histiocytoma) may very rarely metastasize; (ii) the general acceptance that most pleomorphic sarcomas can be meaningfully subclassified and that so-called malignant fibrous histiocytoma is not a definable entity, but instead represents a wastebasket of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, accounting for no more than 5% of adult soft tissue sarcomas; (iii) the acknowledgement that most lesions formerly known as haemangiopericytoma show no evidence of pericytic differentiation and, instead, are fibroblastic in nature and form a morphological continuum with solitary fibrous tumour; and (iv) the increasing appreciation that not only do we not know from which cell type(s) most soft tissue tumours originate (histogenesis) but, for many, we do not recognize their line of differentiation or lineage,hence an increasing number of tumours ar placed in the ,uncertain differentiation' category.

    Intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions: a review and practical aids to diagnosis

    HISTOPATHOLOGY, Issue 5 2001
    A Al-Nafussi
    Intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions: a review and practical aids to diagnosis Intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions are uncommon and often present a diagnostic challenge. An important group of such lesions are the gastrointestinal stromal tumours. Other intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions include fibromatosis, various sarcomas,in particular, leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour,and, in women, endometrial stromal sarcoma. Less common lesions are inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours, the mesenteric spindle cell reactive lesions, retroperitoneal fibrosis, and solitary fibrous tumour. A variety of intra-abdominal tumours of nonmesenchymal origin may have a spindle cell/sarcomatoid morphology; these include sarcomatoid carcinoma, malignant melanoma and, in women, sarcomatoid granulosa cell tumour. Finally, metastatic sarcomas from pelvic or extra-abdominal organs need also be considered. A set of practical aids to the diagnosis of intra-abdominal spindle cell lesions is presented to assist pathologists dealing with such lesions, particularly with regards to the consideration of differential diagnoses.

    Giant solitary fibrous tumour of the pleura: a rare but usually benign intrathoracic neoplasm

    THE CLINICAL RESPIRATORY JOURNAL, Issue 2 2009
    Uffe Bodtger
    Abstract Background:, Low forced expiratory volume (FEV1) and low performance status usually preclude surgical treatment of lung neoplasms. Earlier case reports have suggested that curative, safe surgery is possible in extrapulmonal intrathoracic neoplasms. Methods:, A case report of an 83-year-old women with progressing dyspnoea secondary to a huge left-side neoplasm. Results:, Work-up reveal an FEV1 of 0.4 L, and a giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura. The tumor was surgically removed in toto without complications: weighting approximately 3 kg, and benign histology. The patient was without dyspnoea at discharge and at 1-year follow-up. Conclusion:, Safe and curative surgery is possible in patients with extrapulmonal neoplasm despite poor FEV1. Please cite this paper as: Bodtger U, Pedersen JH, Skov BG and Clementsen P.

    Orbital giant cell angiofibroma,

    APMIS, Issue 9 2006
    Report of a recurrent case
    A case of giant cell angiofibroma in a 73-year-old man is reported. The tumour was located in the upper-inner quadrant of the right orbit and recurred 16 months after surgical removal. The clinicopathological features of this rare neoplasm,that is nowadays considered a variant of solitary fibrous tumour,are reviewed and briefly commented on. [source]

    Malignant solitary fibrous tumour of the orbit

    ACTA OPHTHALMOLOGICA, Issue 4 2009
    Leonard Girnita
    Abstract. Purpose:, We aimed to report a case of orbital solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) in a child and to review the relevant literature. Methods:, We describe an SFT in a 13-year-old boy with a 1-month history of painless proptosis in the left eye. Results:, Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well circumscribed mass filling most of the left intraconal orbit. The lesion was excised and histopathological examination revealed a malignant SFT. Postoperative follow-up for 18 months was uneventful. Conclusions:, Malignant SFT of the orbit should be included in the differential diagnosis of paediatric orbital tumours. Complete surgical excision remains the preferred method of management and the longterm prognosis is guarded. [source]
