Tumor: Soft Tissue Lesions Flashcards

1
Q

At what size should you 3D image soft tissue masses (vs directly excise)?

A

> 5cm body
1.5 hand/feet
Below this and looks like fat on imaging, can go to excisional biopsy

Q

Next best step if you did an unplanned excision of malignant lesion

A
  1. Re-image the tumor bed
  2. Treat: radiate, wide excision

If superficial, wont need radiation - surgery only

Q

MRI finding for soft tissue sarcoma

A

Dark T1 (aka not fat)
Bright T2 (doesn’t suppress like fat)

T1 shows normal anatomy
T2 shows disease

Q

Treat MPNST

A

STS: rads + resection (entire nerve)

Surg - have to resect the nerve, make sure get clean margins

Q

What are the E-SARC (SCARE) tumors

A

Soft tissue tumors that also met to LN (lungs still most common)

  1. Epitheliod
  2. Synovial sarc
  3. Angiosarc
  4. Rhabdo

Q

Histo angiosarc

A

Epithelioid nests
Spindle cells
Trying to make rudimentary vessels (vs hemangio = mature BV)

18
Q

Treat angiosarc

A

STS: rads / surg

19
Q

Patient population rhabdomyosarcoma

20
Q

Path (include translocation) rhabdo

A

Small round blue
+desmin
T(2;13)
PAX-FKHR

PA fucked ma to get 2 round 13 desmin boys

21
Q

Treat rhabdo

A

CHEMO -> surg
***Unusual STS

May not even need surg depending on response

22
Q

Location epithelioid sarcoma

A

Hand - confused for ulcerating granuloma

Younger patients

23
Q

Histo epithelioid sarcoma

A

+EMA (epithelial mutate antigen)
+cytokeratin
Lose INI1

Only 1 good hand for epitheliod pts!

24
Q

What are the names of versions of fibromatosis

A

Dupuy
Lederhosen
Peronie
FAP / extra-abdominal (get colonoscopy)

25
Treat fibromatosis
Resection - high local recurrence | +/- adj rads if +margins
26
Extra-abdominal fibromatosis (FAP) - histo and treat
+E receptor (why grow during pregnancy) - think like fibroids!!! +IHC beta catenin Surgery, but often don't operate because so hard to get clear margins
27
What is the difference between schwannoma and neurofibroma
Schwan - 1 nerve fiber eccentrically sitting on the rest of normal nerve - easy to resect NF - deep, entire nerve involved - resect only if symptomatic bc bleed a lot
28
Imaging Schwannoma vs NF
Schwan = egg on string, round mass NF = bag of worms | NF: bag of worms
29
Histo schwannoma
Antoni A and B Antoni is a snake!
30
Phlebolith is characteristic of what lesion
AVM/hemangioma
31
Treat hemangioma
1: observe, compression 2: alcohol sclerotherapy 3: surgery
32
Genetics PVNS/TGCT
CSF1 over expression | Recruit lots phagocytes
33
Histo PVNS/TGCT
Giant cells matrix - spilled over choco cookies
34
Treat PVNS/TGCT
Resect! CSF1 I if recalcitrant (SE = albinism)
35
What tumor is an example of metaplasia (reversible change in cell type)
Synovial chondromatosis Synovial tissue -> cartilage RICE BODIES Metaplasia reverses after remove!
36
What is tumoral calcinosis
Benign Ca deposits from a phosphate metabolism issue EXTRA artic (why NOT synovial chondromatosis)
37
What STS mimicker presents with regional LN involvement + treatment
Cat scratch disease Bartonella henselae Epitrochlear LN Trt: doxycycline
38
Imaging findings that differentiate infection vs STS
Infx - does not respect soft tissue planes | STS - has rind around it, central necrosis
39
3 malignant lesions with Ca deposits in soft tissue
Synovial sarcoma Liposarcoma Angiosarcoma
40
2 tumors characteristic to the foor
Clear cell sarcoma | Synovial sarcoma
41
Tumor with MUC4 gene
Low grade myxofibrosarcoma | Remember fibrosarcoma herringbone pattern histo
42
How stage STS
CT chest
