A study of spectrum of Adipose Tissue Tumours in a Tertiary Care Centre
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: The most common soft – tissue tumours in clinical practice are fat - containing adipose tissue tumours. We have made an effort to evaluate the pattern of distribution of adipose tissue tumours with respect to age, sex, anatomical site and the frequency of benign, intermediate and malignant tumours. Materials and Methods: All cases of adipose tissue tumours received in Department of Pathology in our Tertiary care hospital from August 2014 to July 2018 were retrieved and reviewed. Results: A total of 152 cases of adipose tissue tumours were studied during the 4 year interval. Of these, majority were benign adipocytic tumours (96.5%) as compared to malignant ones. Adipose tissue tumours are more common in females (52.63%) and upper limbs are the most common site involved. Conclusion: This study contributes to the epidemiologic knowledge of the adipose tissue tumours.
