    S3.02 The histological type and subtype of the tumour must be documented wherever possible. CS3.02a Accepting the limitations of sampling and with the use of diagnostic common sense, tumour type should be assigned according to the WHO system 17, wherever possible. (See Appendix 4 for full list). CS3.02b If precise tumour typing is not possible, generic descriptions to describe the tumour may be useful (eg myxoid, pleomorphic, spindle cell, round cell etc), together with the growth pattern (eg fascicular, sheet-like, storiform etc). (See G3.01). CS3.02c If the reporting pathologist is unfamiliar or lacks confidence with the myriad possible diagnoses, then at this point a decision to send the case away without delay for an expert opinion would be the most sensible option. Referral to the pathologist at the nearest Regional Sarcoma Service would be appropriate in the first instance. Further International Pathology Review may then be obtained by the treating Regional Sarcoma Multidisciplinary Team if required. Adequate review will require submission of full clinical and imaging information as well as histological sections and paraffin block material.

  • The Role of Cytogenetics and Molecular Diagnostics in the Diagnosis of Soft-Tissue Tumors Julia a Bridge
    Modern Pathology (2014) 27, S80–S97 S80 & 2014 USCAP, Inc All rights reserved 0893-3952/14 $32.00 The role of cytogenetics and molecular diagnostics in the diagnosis of soft-tissue tumors Julia A Bridge Department of Pathology and Microbiology, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, USA Soft-tissue sarcomas are rare, comprising o1% of all cancer diagnoses. Yet the diversity of histological subtypes is impressive with 4100 benign and malignant soft-tissue tumor entities defined. Not infrequently, these neoplasms exhibit overlapping clinicopathologic features posing significant challenges in rendering a definitive diagnosis and optimal therapy. Advances in cytogenetic and molecular science have led to the discovery of genetic events in soft- tissue tumors that have not only enriched our understanding of the underlying biology of these neoplasms but have also proven to be powerful diagnostic adjuncts and/or indicators of molecular targeted therapy. In particular, many soft-tissue tumors are characterized by recurrent chromosomal rearrangements that produce specific gene fusions. For pathologists, identification of these fusions as well as other characteristic mutational alterations aids in precise subclassification. This review will address known recurrent or tumor-specific genetic events in soft-tissue tumors and discuss the molecular approaches commonly used in clinical practice to identify them. Emphasis is placed on the role of molecular pathology in the management of soft-tissue tumors. Familiarity with these genetic events

Dei Tos1,2 1 Department of Pathology, Azienda Ospedale Università Padova, Padova, Italy; 2 Department of Medicine, University of Padua School of Medicine, Padua, Italy Summary Mesenchymal tumours represent one of the most challenging field of diagnostic pathol- ogy and refinement of classification schemes plays a key role in improving the quality of pathologic diagnosis and, as a consequence, of therapeutic options. The recent publica- tion of the new WHO classification of Soft Tissue Tumours and Bone represents a major step toward improved standardization of diagnosis. Importantly, the 2020 WHO classi- fication has been opened to expert clinicians that have further contributed to underline the key value of pathologic diagnosis as a rationale for proper treatment. Several rel- evant advances have been introduced. In the attempt to improve the prediction of clinical behaviour of solitary fibrous tumour, a risk assessment scheme has been implemented. NTRK-rearranged soft tissue tumours are now listed as an “emerging entity” also in con- sideration of the recent therapeutic developments in terms of NTRK inhibition. This deci- sion has been source of a passionate debate regarding the definition of “tumour entity” as well as the consequences of a “pathology agnostic” approach to precision oncology. In consideration of their distinct clinicopathologic features, undifferentiated round cell sarcomas are now kept separate from Ewing sarcoma and subclassified, according to the underlying gene rearrangements, into three main subgroups (CIC, BCLR and not Received: October 14, 2020 ETS fused sarcomas) Importantly, In order to avoid potential confusion, tumour entities Accepted: October 19, 2020 such as gastrointestinal stroma tumours are addressed homogenously across the dif- Published online: November 3, 2020 ferent WHO fascicles.

It is typically located on the trunk or extremities of young adults. It can be difficult to differentiate MVH from other types of hemangioma and Kaposi sarcoma. Herein we report a case of MVH unusual for its location, age of onset, and morphologic features.

  • MR Imaging of Aggressive Angiomyxoma of the Female Pelvis: Case Report
    MR Imaging of Aggressive Angiomyxoma of the Female Pelvis: Case Report Hye Mi Kim1, Ji Eun Pyo2, Nam Hoon Cho2, Nam Kyu Kim3, and Myeong-Jin Kim1 Aggressive angiomyxoma is a rare tumor that predominantly occurs in the female genital tract. Because of its high tendency for local recurrence, preoperative diagnosis is important to ensure wide excision and reduce recurrence risk. But it is often misdiagnosed due to its rarity. We present two cases of aggressive angiomyxoma: a recurrent case that was initially misdiagnosed and a preoperatively diagnosed case. Index words : Myxoma Magnetic resonance (MR) Vulva Female Perineum Case 1 Introduction A 43-year-old woman presented with a non tender mass in the right perirectal area in 1999. Magnetic Aggressive angiomyxoma is a recently characterized resonance (MR) imaging showed a large soft-tissue, 12 benign mesenchymal tumor occurring predominantly ×8×5 cm mass, mainly located at the right perineum in the perineal area, with a strong female extending to the perirectal space. The mass displaced predominance in the 3rd-5th decades of life (1). It has a the adjacent soft tissue and splitted the internal and high propensity for local recurrence, thus preoperative external right levator ani sphincter muscle. It was diagnosis is important for planning surgical isointense to muscle on T1-wighted and hyperintense management (2). But it has been often misdiagnosed on T2-weighted images, with a whirling pattern (Fig. 1). due to its rarity (3). Differential diagnosis included a neurogenic tumor, To our knowledge, the imagings of aggressive myxoid liposarcoma, angiomyolipoma or other soft angiomyxoma have not been reported in Korea.

  • Cellular Angiofibroma: a Rare Vulvar Neoplasm Distinct from Aggressive Angiomyxoma Jasvinder Kaur Bhatia*1, R Nangia2
    Case Report Cellular Angiofibroma: A Rare Vulvar Neoplasm Distinct From Aggressive Angiomyxoma Jasvinder Kaur Bhatia*1, R Nangia2 1Department of Pathology, Armed Forces Medical college Pune, India 2SR Adv Pathology, CHCC Lucknow, India Keywords: Cellular Angiofibroma, Vulva, Immunohistochemistry, Aggressive Angiomyxoma. ABSTRACT Cellular angiofibroma (CA) is a rare benign mesenchymal neoplasm of the genital region of both the genders. In women, it arises in late reproductive age and can be cured by complete local excision. It is characterized by a bland spindle cell population and numerous small- to medium-sized vessels with hyalinization. We report a rare case in a postmenopausal woman with a view to highlight the importance of differentiating it from similar more aggressive tumours like aggressive angiomyxoma. A 56 year old woman presented with superficial painless swelling of the vulva and the mass was surgically excised. Histological examination revealed spindle cell proliferation and hyalinised blood vessels in a loosely cellular stroma. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity for vimentin and CD34 and positivity for ER & PR. *Corresponding author: Dr Jasvinder Kaur Bhatia, Department of Pathology, Armed Forces Medical College, Pune-40, India Phone: +91 - 8552825142 E-mail: [email protected] This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License.

  • Conversion of Morphology of ICD-O-2 to ICD-O-3
    NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH National Cancer Institute to Neoplasms CONVERSION of NEOPLASMS BY TOPOGRAPHY AND MORPHOLOGY from the INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES FOR ONCOLOGY, SECOND EDITION to INTERNATIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF DISEASES FOR ONCOLOGY, THIRD EDITION Edited by: Constance Percy, April Fritz and Lynn Ries Cancer Statistics Branch, Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program National Cancer Institute Effective for cases diagnosed on or after January 1, 2001 TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction .......................................... 1 Morphology Table ..................................... 7 INTRODUCTION The International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition1 (ICD-O-3) was published by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2000 and is to be used for coding neoplasms diagnosed on or after January 1, 2001 in the United States. This is a complete revision of the Second Edition of the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology2 (ICD-O-2), which was used between 1992 and 2000. The topography section is based on the Neoplasm chapter of the current revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), Tenth Revision, just as the ICD-O-2 topography was. There is no change in this Topography section. The morphology section of ICD-O-3 has been updated to include contemporary terminology. For example, the non-Hodgkin lymphoma section is now based on the World Health Organization Classification of Hematopoietic Neoplasms3. In the process of revising the morphology section, a Field Trial version was published and tested in both the United States and Europe. Epidemiologists, statisticians, and oncologists, as well as cancer registrars, are interested in studying trends in both incidence and mortality.

The lesion had progressively grown for two months. Physical examination revealed an erythematous and slightly scaly nodule measuring 10x10 mm. Dermoscopy examination showed central diffuse erythema with small red globules. A punch- biopsy revealed a proliferation of irregularly branched small vessels with collapsed lumen, extending in an infiltrative pattern in the superficial and deep dermis. Although this is a rare location, a diagnosis of microvenular hemangioma was made. Keywords: vascular neoplasm; microvenular hemangioma, hemangioma Introduction Microvenular hemangioma is a rare, benign, acquired vascular tumor, which usually occurs as a solitary slowly enlarging, red, purple, or reddish-blue plaque or nodule of less than 30 mm in diameter.
