Soft tissue neoplasms
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia
A skin lesion consisting of capillaries surrounded by endothelial cells, lymphocytes and diagnostically, eosinophils.Originally though to be epithelioid hemangioma, it is now known to be a reactive process.
Next, a cyst like lesion in outer canthus of right eye. The location being typical, and the insular morphology being present, the only thing needed now
is pallisading
which leads to Basal cell carcinoma, keratinising.
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma
A soft tissue lesion showing mature fat cells and surprisingly, rhabdomyoblastson more sections, even spindle cells and osteoid
Thus a dedifferentiated liposarcoma (anybody suggest a better name).
Well differeniated liposarcoma
A more conventional, 'well differentiated liposarcoma' is this oneDermatofibrosarcoma protuberans
This one is showing cotton flower or storiform apperance on low power,and high power confirms the spindly apperance
I searched for melanin (for a Bednar tumor) with no luck.
Glomus tumor
A vascular tumor made of perfectly round cells arising in terminal phalanx.Probably arising from the glomus body, which is an AV shunt at terminals.
Granular cell tumor
Next, a skin lesion showing a Zell Ballen pattern, but with very much round nucleiMalignant fibrous hisiocytoma
We have arrived at the wastebasket of soft tissue tumors, which is a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. This one needs no explanation.Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor
showing buckled nuclei among many spindle cellspossibly malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor. Need S100 to confirm.
Schwannoma
Another one with classic Antoni A and B areas, Verocay bodies. A Schwannoma.Alveolar soft part sarcoma
Fibrous hamartoma of infancy
One from the 'infantile fibrous lesions' group - fibrous hamartoma of infancy. Look at the undifferentiated mesenchyme, stellate cells contained within the fibrous septaRhabdoid tumor of kidney
A common infantile kidney mass - a rhabdoid tumourOssifying fibromyxoid neoplasm
Areas of osteoid and osetocytes (?) are seenAngioleiomyoma
Angioleiomyoma or vascular leiomyoma, one of the most painful neoplasms.
Extranodal Rosai Dorfman
Next a collection of plump macrophages with emperipolesis in extranodal Rosai Dorfman diseaseSynovial sarcoma
Almost monophasicNeurofibroma
Xanthogranuloma on FNAC
