Joint and Soft Tissue Pathology II Flashcards
joint mice
calcium balls in joint space
ganglion cyst
near joint capsule or tendon sheath
- common - around wrist
- cystic or myxoid degeneration of CT
- lacks cell lining
no communication with joint space
synovial cyst
herniation through joint capsule
synovial cyst forming in popliteal space in RA
baker cyst
herniation of cyst in knee
aspiration of ganglion cyst
thick/mucus
benign neoplasms in synovial lining ofjoints, tendon sheaths, and bursae
tenosynovial giant cell tumor
diffuse type and localized type
pigmented villonodular synovitis
diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor
large joints
giant cell tumor of tendon sheath
localized tenosynovial giant cell tumor
discrete nodule attached to tendon sheath in hand
tiger striped
tenosynovial giant cell tumor
below fascia
malignant
above fascia
benign
knee pain, locking, recurrent swelling, with palpable mass
diffuse tenosynovial giant cell tumor
soft tissue tumors
benign outnumber malignant
big lesion in thigh
think soft tissue neoplasm
t(11;22)
ewing sarcoma
spindle cells and groups of epithelioid cells - biphasic
synovial sarcoma
herring bone
fibrosarcoma
palisading - nuclei in columns
schwann cell
storiform - short fascicles of spindle cells from central point - spokes on a wheel
fibrohistiocytic
fascicles of eisinophils intersecting at right aingles
smooth muscle
benign tumor of fat
lipoma
most common soft tissue tumor of adulthood
lipoma
well encapsulated mass of adipocytes
lipoma
painful tumors
GLENDA
angiolipoma = A
soft, mobile, painless
lipoma
except angiolipoma - is painful
most common sarcoma of adulthood
liposarcoma
age 50-60yo
deep soft tissues
