Q

what are mesenchymal tumours

A

tumors of soft tissue and bone or

non -epi extra skeeltal tissues of the body, except the reticuloendothelial system, the glia and supproting tissues of specific organs and viscera

reticuloendo sys: cells able to remove and phsogocytose: kuppfer cells, macrophages…

Q

etiology and pathogenesis

A
  1. history of previous trauma
  2. receal chromosomal abnormalities and mutations in genes
  3. most of soft tissue occur sporadicqlly: (occasionaly or irregualr)

Q

lacation of mesenchymal tumors

A
  • lovated on extremetis becaoum those have whole mesenchymal origin, with minimal epi component like skin.
    everything inside is mesenchumal origin
  • in abdominal cavity-: retroperitoneum, mesentery, mesocoln

Q

general feauture sof soft tissue

A
  1. superficially located tumors, tend to be bening(but deep-sided lesions are mostly malignant)
  2. large sized tumors generally more malognnat
  3. rapidly growing tumors-behave malignant
  4. maligant tumoras have frequently increased vascularity
  5. 40%-lower extremitites, 20% upper, turunk and peri-30, ehaf and

but marcinek says 70 IN LOWER

  1. more men than women
  2. 15% in choldren- rhabdomyosarcoma and synovial sarcoma

Q

malignant mesenchymal tumors=sarcomas, where do they come form

A
  • originate form primitive mesenchyamla cells(capicity to differentiate aling different cell pathways)

Q

what are paraneoplatic feauters

A

-complications caused by some products synthesized by tumor cells
- sacroma domt uaslly make these features

Q

what is the most common features of malignancy

A

-weight loss–>cachexia:reduction of all organs(atrophy) becuase of lack of energy and or nutrition.
- comes from the products synthesized bu the cells in tumors, ike cytokines which influence metabolism

Q

if sarcoma can be problemati to resect, what can we use

A

prefeered radiotherapy and the chemothrapy(most sarcomas are resistant to chemo)

22
Q

what cells does tumors arise form

A

stem cells fordi de er litt immature
fortsatt i fasen hvor de fifferentiate og spnt. tidlig og noe kan skje til dem

23
Q

diagnosus of soft tissue tumors

A
  1. mophology of tumor cells
    - if it reseble ant tissue
    - should be proved by immunohistolchemistry
  2. immunohistochemistry
    - labeling of molecules by visbile markes: antibody against antigen by some color
    - for soft tissue tumors -VIMETIN
    - for epi=Cytokeratin or epit memrbane antigens (EMA)
    - muscle differentitation: DESMIN
    - smmot m: SMOOTH MUSCLE ACTIN+H-CALDESMON-LEIOMYOSACROMA
    -striated m: MYOGENEIN+MYOD 1-rhabdomyosarcoma
    - vascualr diff: CD34, CD31, FL1
    - neurla fiff: S100–>then NEURAL SEPCIFIC ENCOLASE (NSE), melanocytic: HMP 45, MELAN A, hystocytic: CD68
  3. Genetic abnormalities
    - 1/3 of sarcomas
24
Q

typing of sarcomas

A

determiantion of tumor type

25
Q

grading of sarcomas

A

-aggressivity
- grade of malignant
- 2grade, 3 grade

assesment:
1. differentiation
- resembles of normal
- good=low grade tumor and ooppsye

  1. mitotic actvity
    -nr of mitosses
    - ^mitoses=more aggressive
  2. necrosis
26
Q

staging of sacromas

A

TNM:
T:
pT1: <5cm (superficial-pT1A, deep-pt1B
pT2: >4cm, (superfical samme opplegg)

N:
N0: absent
N1: present

M:

M0: absent
M1: distal

what is firbroma

28
Q

Fibrous growth with mesenchymal tissue elements: ex

A
  1. fibroma durum
  2. fibroma mole or fibrolipoma

29
Q

fibroma durum

-bening, pedunculated and weel circumsied
- skin
-body surfaces and mucosal membranes
- rich collagenous fibrous connective tissue

30
Q

fibroma mole or fibrolipoma

Q

elastrofibroma

-rare bening
- subscapular region
- collagen bundles and branching elastic fibers

32
Q

what is fibromatosis

A

tumor like lesions of fibrous tissue which continue to proliferate activly and can be difficulat to differentiate from sarcomas

  • semimalignant
33
Q

how do fibromatosis look

A
  • invade locally and recur after surgical excision
  • like myofibroblasts
34
Q

what do we divide fibromatosis into

A
  1. infatile and juvenule
  2. adult
35
Q

adult type of fibromatosis

A
  • palmar and plantar, nodular fasciits, kleoid

-keloid: progressive fibrous growth bc cutaneous injury like burns, inscision, vaccination
- in blacks
- smooth, firm, elevated, claw like projections, colagen+fibroblasts

nodular fadcitis:
- bening and reactive fibroblastic growth form superficial fascia into subcutanous fat and sometime nearby muscles
- upper ext, trunk, neck, youg adults, local excision is curative, little recurrens, as noduel, often after traum

palmar anf plantar
- most common superfically
- Dupuytren liek contracture
PALMAR:
- old man–>flexion of fingers
- painless, nodular or irregualr, infilatarting, bening
- bilateral
- fibrovascualr tissue with dividng fibrolblast like myofibroblasts
PLANTAR
- medial aspect of plantar arch
- no contractures
-adult
- similar to penile fibromatosis or peyronie disase(lesions in shaft of penis) or soft tissue of knuckles
- recurrence:50-60%

36
Q

desmoid fibromatosis

A

aggresive behavior recurr often and multiple
- role of antecedent trauma, genetic and estorgen lvls

types:
1. abdominal: locally aggressive, in musculoaponeurotic structures of rectus muscle in ant abd wall in women during/after pregnancy

  1. extra-abdominal: men, upper and lower extr, chest wall, back, buttocks, head and neck
  2. intarabdomainal: root of small bowel mesentery sassocated with Gardner syndrome,

solitary, large, firm , infiltating muscle

37
Q

fibromatoses

A

infiltartion
non metastasing
active proliferation
recur after removal
painful and deformaing

38
