XXVI Congress of the IAP: Abstracts 179 Transplant Nephrectomies in Which Extensive Infarcts Are Present
XXVI Congress of the IAP: Abstracts 179 transplant nephrectomies in which extensive infarcts are present. hemangioma and locally had DT-like appearance, as in the fi rst lesion. About 10 months after the second resection, another recurrence took place. This time, apart from the Soft Tissue primary tumor, CT examination demonstrated metastases in the lungs. Histopathological examination of the excised primary tumor showed locally persistent traits of DT, as well as evident angiosarcoma with infi ltration of soft tissue and muscle of the buttock. The patient 824 A CASE REPORT: ANGIOSARCOMA ARISING IN AN A-V FISTULA SITE died three years after having been fi rst diagnosed with DT. IN A RENAL TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT Conclusion: There remains some controversy regarding DT’s malignancy though currently Alia Albawardi; Atilla Omeroglu, McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada it is more and more often classifi ed as a tumor of intermediate biologic malignancy. Complete Background: Angiosarcoma is a rare malignancy of endothelial origin, comprising < 1% surgical excision is the treatment of choice. Prognosis is good following complete surgical of all sarcomas. Angiosarcoma can occur at any site of the body with a predilection for the excision of the primary lesion, although spread to regional lymph nodes is possible. Our skin and soft tissue of adults. Predisposing factors include chronic lymphedema, prolonged case proves that DT, once regarded as a low-grade lesion has the potential to transform into immunosuppression, certain chemicals and possibly viruses. Renal transplant patients have angiosarcoma which makes it a tumor of intermediate malignancy. Therefore, the Dabska an increased risk for developing angiosarcoma due to both immunosuppression and chronic Tumor should never be overlooked. -
Study of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Histopathological Co
Original Research Article Study of fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathological co-relation of soft tissue lesions in pediatric patients at tertiary health care institute in western Maharashtra J Juvekar1, S G Surase2*, K A Deshpande3, M S Wadhi4, S V Thavare5 1,4,5Speciality Medical Officer, NMMC, Vashi, Mumbai, Maharashtra, INDIA. 2,3Associate Professor, Department of Pathology, Grant Government Medical College and Sir J.J. Group of Hospitals, Mumbai, Maharashtra. Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: The field of soft tissue tumours (STT) is enormously vast, and yet, as cytologically relatively undiscovered. Due to the rarity of primary tumours of soft tissue and a large range of different types of tumours, the diagnosis and classification of STTs become most difficult areas in surgical pathology and absence of recognizable tissue architectural patterns in cytological preparation makes a diagnosis by FNAC even more difficult.1 Objectives: •To study and analyse the spectrum of soft tissue tumours in our tertiary care hospital by FNAC. •To correlate the cytoarchitectural features observed with histopathological parameters. Material and Methods: Present prospective study was conducted in the Pathology Department of GMC and JJ Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, over a period of two years. Study included all the patients in the pediatric age group which were referred to the FNAC outpatient department with soft tissue swelling. The result of FNAC was further correlated with the histopathological diagnosis from paraffin-embedded sections wherever available. Data obtained was analysed for the histopathological correlation and statistical significance. Results: A total of 57 cases were included in the study of which 45 were found to be benign and 12 were malignant on cytology. -

AMR Seminar #66 Case – 6
AMR Seminar #66 Case – 1 Contributed by: Phil Allen, M.D. Case Identification: FMC 14/S00025 Contributor: Dr Esther Quick, SA Pathology, Flinders Medical Centre, Bedford Park, South Australia. History: The patient is an aborigine weighing between 160 to 200 kg who had noticed a slowly growing, large subcutaneous mass which had been present for many years in the right groin. Recently the skin over the mass became ulcerated. The underlying fat then became infected and a chronic abscess discharging pus prompted admission to Flinders Medical Centre. The pendulous mass was described clinically as a "pannus." It did not involve the abdominal musculature. The intense induration around the ulcer raised the possibility of a carcinoma. No organ imaging was performed. The entire mass including the ulcer and abscess was excised. Post operatively, the wound healed well. The specimen comprised skin and underlying subcutaneous tissue weighing 1901g and measuring 250x220mm by up to 65mm from superficial to deep. An irregular area of indurated skin crusting extended over an area 90x60mm as in the photograph below. The remainder of the skin surface exhibited a rugose, cobblestone, or peau d'orange appearance. Slicing the specimen revealed a large amount of unencapsulated subcutaneous fat in which there was an abscess measuring 50x40x30mm surrounded by haemorrhage and congestion. The subcutaneous fat distant from the abscess was traversed by fibrous septae. The dermis was thickened and oedematous. Photograph of sliced specimen showing the haemorrhagic abscess cavity, the accentuation of the subcutaneous fibrous septae, the thickened dermis, the rugose skin and the unencapsulated, large, subcutaneous mass of fat. -

In vivo, LV-10 cells do not cause graft-versus-host disease while mediating graft-versus-leukemia effect against adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Since pediatric AML (pAML) and adult AML are different on a genetic and epigenetic level, we investigate herein whether LV-10 cells also efficiently kill pAML cells. We show that the majority of primary pAML are killed by LV-10 cells, with different levels of sensitivity to killing. Transcriptionally, pAML sensitive to LV-10 killing expressed a myeloid maturation signature. -
