Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Abstract:Soft tissue swellings are a common presentation in a pathologists life. Though cytology is usually the first investigation done to determine the diagnosis, Histopathology no doubt remains a gold standard in diagnosis. Due to close resemblance to each other, they may pose difficulty in differentiation. It becomes important to study the spectrum of histopathological features in detail. The main objective is to study various histopathological features and differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. A study of 100 soft tissue swellings was done. These were submitted in 10% formalin. The swellings were grossed and sections were processed and stained with H&E. Detailed microscopic examination was noted and classified into benign and malignant lesions. Out of 100 cases, 92 swellings were benign and rest 8 cases were found to be malignant. The most common benign tumor were of adipocyticlineage(66.3%) followed by vascular lesion(8.6%). Even though benign lesions constituted most of the cases, it is essential to differentiate malignant lesions from benign ones in order to manage the high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with it.
