Immunohistochemistry of Epithelioid Soft Tissue Sarcomas, Literature Review Based on Case Studies
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Neoplasms with epithelioid histology may be diagnostically challenging. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) can aid in confirming the differential diagnosis of mesotheliomas, melanomas, lymphomas, and soft tissue sarcomas, all tumors that can present with an epithelioid histology. Immunohistochemistry can also assist in confirming the type of sarcomas. Using cases diagnosed in a community hospital setting over a ten year period, the use of IHC in sarcomas will be illustrated.
