Pathological profile of soft tissue tumours: - A descriptive study
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pathology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Soft tissue Tumours are classified according to their histogenetic origin and within each group they are divided into benign lesions, intermediate lesions and sarcomas.1The grade of malignant Tumours is the single most established criteria inpredicting the biological behavior of these Tumours. The various parameters used in grading are cellularity, mitotic count, Tumour differentiation and necrosis. Immune status and reports of relevant investigations were recorded from the patients who presented with soft tissue mass or collected from medical records. After taking consent from the patient, fine needle aspiration cytology was done under aseptic precautions. On cytology, most frequently diagnosed soft tissue tumors were lipomatous tumors (76.7%, 606 cases) followed by spindle cell tumors (15.94%, 126 cases), fibrohistiocytic tumors (3.03%, 24 cases), vascular tumors (2.15%, 17 cases), myxoid tumors (1.13%, 9 cases), round cell tumors (0.63%, 5 cases), pleomorphic tumors (0.25%, 2 cases) and least was epithelioid tumors (0.12%, 1 case).
