Pathology Flashcards
benign nodular fasciitis
soft tissue tumor, trauma, increased mitotic activity, hypercell “sarcoma”, superficial tissue, surgical excision
benign fibromatosis
soft tissue tumor, slow growing, locally aggressive, recur post resection, repeated trauma
palmar fibromatosis
soft tissue tumor, 4th and 5th digit - dupyten contracture (most common), 50% bilateral
plantar fibromatosis
soft tissue tumor, plantar aponeurosis (2nd most common)
penile fibromatosis
soft tissue tumor, curves towards affected side (least common)
fibroma
soft tissue tumor, ovaries, fibroblasts, firm & encapsulated
fibrosarcoma
soft tissue tumor, herring bone, fibroblasts, malignant, knees, hemorrhage & necrosis
mal fibrous histocytoma
soft tissue tumor, after radiation therapy, will metastasize to the lungs
lipoma
soft tissue tumor, most common, encapsulationed, angiolipoma (vascular proliferation)
liposarcoma
soft tissue tumor, slow growing, wraps around aorta, mxyoid (12&16 chromosome translocation). most common deep thigh and retroperitoneum
rhabdomyosarcoma
soft tissue tumor, most common in kids, primative mesenchyme
embryonal (rhabdomyosarcoma)
soft tissue tumor, kids 3-12, retroperitineum, striations, characteristics of rhabdomyoblast
sarcoma botryoides (rhabdomyosarcoma)
soft tissue tumor, girls <4yo, vagina and bladder, grape like tumor mass
alveolar (rhabdomyosarcoma)
soft tissue tumor, 10-25 yo, club shaped tumor cells, 1:13, 2:13 translocation
pleomorphic (rhabdomyosarcoma)
soft tissue tumor, least common, worst one, found in elderly, no striations, multinucleated giant cells
synovial sarcoma
soft tissue tumor, femur, painful and tender mass, multi lobular mass well circumsized, X:18 metastasize to lungs
leiomyoma
soft tissue tumor, beninge, smooth muscle uterus! painful yellow firm nodules
leiomyosarcoma
soft tissue tumor, larger and softer than leiomyoma, increased mitotic activity, grossly well circumsized, hemorrhage and necrosis, cigar shaped nuclei
hemangioma
soft tissue tumor, vascular channels, no neoplasm, collection of normal tissue
capillary (hemangioma)
soft tissue tumor, bright red and blue b/c vascular proliferation, cosmetic disfiguration
juvenile (hemangioma)
soft tissue tumor, “strawberry”, grow rapidly then regress
cavernous (hemangioma)
soft tissue tumor, large vascular channels does not regress
angiosarcoma
soft tissue tumor, highly malignant, endothelial cells, 1/2 Pts die, (arsenic, vinyl chloride associations)
kaposi sarcoma
soft tissue tumor, angiosarcoma, painful purple brown nodule, endothelial cells, AIDS, HHV-8, rare death
