Q

What is unique about the histology of synovial sarcoma?

A

Biphasic tumor w/ both epithelial and mesenchymal components

(even if the tumor may are monophasic - staining will show positivity for both epithelial and mesenchymal components)

Q

Does having HHV-8 mean that a patient will automatically get Karposi Sarcoma?

A

No, HHV-8 is required for KS development, but tumor progression also requires a cofactor (like HIV)

17
Q

Histology: vascular channels lined w/ plump anaplastic endothelial cells.

What type of tumor?

A

Angiosarcoma

18
Q

What are some common sites for angiosarcoma? and possible predisposing factors for that site?

A

Skin

Soft tissue

Breast: previous radiation therapy

Liver: arsenic, thorotrast, polyvinyl chloride

19
Q

What age group is most commonly affected by angiosarcoma?

A

older adults

21
Q

A

A and B: capillary hemangioma

C: Cavernous hemangioma

D: pyogenic granuloma

22
Q

Karposi sarcoma is what type of sarcoma?

A

Vascular sarcoma

23
Q

What type of tumor?

A

Synovial sarcoma

24
Q

What are some of the histologic features of leiomyoma?

A

Intersecting spindle cells w/ blunt-ended elongated nuclei, minimal atypia, few mitosis

25
Answer
26
What are the three histologic stages of karposi sarcoma?
Patches, plaques, nodules
27
28
What type of vascular tumor? Where is it commonly found?
Cavernous hemangioma; larger, more frequently found in deep structures (liver)
29
What type of vascular tumor? (exophytic nodule, skin, giingiva or oral mucosa, often ulcerated with extensive inflammation)
Pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma)
30
What is the diagnosis?
Kaposi sarcoma (pt probably has HHV-8)
31
What is the characteristic cell of this entity?
Rhabdomyoblast (strap cell)
32
What type of tumor?
Capillary hemangioma: closely packed aggregates of thin-walled capillaries
33
34
Where do leiomyosarcomas typically arise?
skin, deep soft tissue of the extremities and retroperitoneum
35
Karposi sarcoma is the most common cancer associated with what condition?
AIDS
36
What is the best diagnosis in this case?
Leiomyoma (fibroid) in the uterus Leiomyomas have blunt-ended, elongated nuclei with minimal atypia, and few mitoses
37
What type of benign tumor often arises in the uterus?
Leiomyoma (fibroid)
38
What are the three different types of hemangioma?
Capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma)
39
