Mesenchymal tumours Flashcards
what are mesenchymal tumours
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…
what are mesenchumal tunours composed of
different CT of body: fibrous tissue. vartilage, bone, muscle , fatty tissue, vv
mesenchymal are …. and epithelial are
histoid
organoid
whre are lesions of these tissues embryonically derived form
mesoderm beside peripheral nerves, they come form ectoderm
etiology and pathogenesis
- history of previous trauma
- receal chromosomal abnormalities and mutations in genes
- most of soft tissue occur sporadicqlly: (occasionaly or irregualr)
exmaples of compnents of gentic syndromes (sporadically
neirofibromatous 1,
li-fraumeni syndrome
osler-weber-rendu syndrome
mesenchuamøa classification
- fibrous tumor tissue (fibrous reticulate)
- fibrohistiocytic tumors
- tumors of fat cells
- tumors of cartilage, synovium and bone
- vascular tumors
- tumors of muscle cells
- tumors of dorsal chorda
- tumors of schwann cells
- cells of lymphoid and hematopoietic bone marrow origin
interms of tissue it can be divided into
soft tissue
Bone tumors
lacation of mesenchymal tumors
- 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
general feauture sof soft tissue
- superficially located tumors, tend to be bening(but deep-sided lesions are mostly malignant)
- large sized tumors generally more malognnat
- rapidly growing tumors-behave malignant
- maligant tumoras have frequently increased vascularity
- 40%-lower extremitites, 20% upper, turunk and peri-30, ehaf and
but marcinek says 70 IN LOWER
- more men than women
- 15% in choldren- rhabdomyosarcoma and synovial sarcoma
categories of mesenchymal tumors according to dignity
- bening:
- dont recur and removed by excision-lipoma - semimalignant without metasisatis
- semimalignant with low rate of metasasis
- malignant
bening mesenchymal
99%: superficial, above muscle fascia
- palpabel or visble mass
lipoma, fibrohystiocystic, vascular, nerve sheta tumors
malignant mesenchymal tumors=sarcomas, where do they come form
- originate form primitive mesenchyamla cells(capicity to differentiate aling different cell pathways)
- sjeldent kommer fra malignnat transfomation of preexistoing bening tumor
how do sarcomas and carcinomas move
Sarcoma:
- hematogenoys route
- in lungs, liver, bone and brian
carcinomas:
- lymohpgenous
-often late
localisation of sarcomas
75%-lower extremeties
- thihg-because largest muscle
10% chest and retroperitoneum
where ate sacromas usually placed in deep tissue
1/3 -superficial
2/3-deep sited
what are paraneoplatic feauters
-complications caused by some products synthesized by tumor cells
- sacroma domt uaslly make these features
- some features: cachexia, anemia, pale, sleepiness, some bleeding condiitons
what is the most common features of malignancy
-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
most common site of distant metastasis
lunsg
mwhich diagnostic methons should be used
first ultrasound, then MRI or spiral CT
