Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Pathology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Soft tissue tumors can occur at all ages at various sites in the body. There is a wide spectrum in benign and malignant tumors of soft tissue origin though some are known to occur more frequently in childhood and some in the elderly. Aim of the study: To study Histomorphology of soft tissue tumors. Materials and Methods: Both Retropsective and Prospective study done in the Department of Pathology at Mallareddy Medical College for Women, Hyderabad, Telangana, over a period of three years. Total 150 cases were studied for histopathology. Results: The total number of cases was 150. Age range was from 4years to 78 years. Majority 70 (46.6 %) were among 31-40 years followed by 21 -30 years age which showed 31 (20.6%) cases. Male patients were 80 (53.3 %) and female patients were 70 (46.6 %). Out There were 120 cases (80%) of benign tumors and 30 cases (20.0%) were malignant tumors. Lipoma was the most common among benign soft tissue tumorsie, 69 (57.5%) and next common was Hemangioma 20 (16.6%). Among malignant tumours 8 (26.6 %) cases were synovial sarcoma and 4 (13.3%) were fibrosacrcoma. Conclusion: Soft tissue tumors are more common in the fourth decade of life and have a slight male preponderance. The most common site for these tumors is the back region. Benign tumors are more common than malignant tumors and those of intermediate malignancy are very rare. Among the beningtumors, lipoma and hamangioma are most common whereas, among the malignant group, synovial sarcoma and liposarcomas are most common.
