BACKGROUND
SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma is a recently proposed entity of soft tissue tumors associated with an extremely poor prognosis. Its cytologic features have not been well described in the literature yet.
METHODS
A woman in her early 30s who presented with chest pain was found to have a
Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant soft tissue tumor, which is characterized by nodular aggregates of epithelioid cells and immunoreactivity of cytokeratin (CK) as well as epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and often with CD34. It can be divided into proximal and distal subtypes. Classic ES
Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a high grade soft tissue sarcoma with a distinct molecular profile and with morphological features resembling those of melanoma. CCS has been rarely described in other locations other than the soft tissues, including the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we report a
BACKGROUND
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is an uncommon neoplasm with bland morphology and an indolent clinical course, although metastases may develop in approximately 5-10% of the cases. The diagnosis of LGFMS can be difficult to render from fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) alone
Metastases to the breast are uncommon, accounting for 0.5% of breast tumors, and most of them are originated from lymphoma, melanoma and carcinomas of various organs. Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a very rare neoplasm that is usually found in the lower extremities. Lungs are the common site
Pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma (PUS), also called malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a soft tissue sarcoma which occurs predominantly in the extremities. Its origin is a poorly defined mesenchymal cell, which derives to histiocytic and fibroblastic cells. The patient, a 58 year-old man,
Smears from seven fine-needle aspiration biopsies from three patients with clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney were reviewed, and the findings were correlated with corresponding histopathologic appearances. In two cases, the tumor cells were polygonal to spindle-shaped and were loosely arranged in a
The case of a 4-month old boy with monophasic synovial sarcoma of the left thigh is reported. He died of pulmonary metastasis 11 months after surgical removal of the primary tumor. Histologically, the tumor was composed of densely packed, small spindle cells; there were occasional islands and
BACKGROUND
Undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is a rare malignant mesenchymal hepatic tumor with an incidence among liver tumors of 27.7%. It occurs predominantly in children under the age of 15.
METHODS
The cytologic findings in a case of UESL in fine needle aspiration biopsy
A small mass with an ulcer was found in the skin of the dorsal cervix of a 7-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rat. Histologically, the central region of the tumor showed a high cellular density with oval-shaped tumor cells arranged in an alveolar pattern and thin collagen fiber bundles. The peripheral
CIC-DUX4 sarcoma (CDS) is a recently identified subtype of small round cell sarcoma. Morphologically, CDS partially resembles Ewing sarcoma (ES) and has been classified as "ES-like sarcoma"; however, detailed clinicopathologic and molecular genetic analyses have indicated that CDS is a new
Because therapy for sarcoma often incorporates histologic subtype, grade, stage, and anatomic location, establishing a specific histologic subtype often is essential. To evaluate the effectiveness of fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in histologic subtyping of soft tissue sarcomas, we
A rare case is described of an intramural sarcoma of the right common carotid artery coexisting with adventitial inflammation and fibrosis, resembling 'inflammatory aneurysm', which was resected from a 33-year-old Japanese woman who had presented with a pulsatile mass on the right side of the
A 2.5-year-old, male, neutered cat presented with a 5-month history of progressive right hind limb lameness and an enlarged right popliteal lymph node. Radiographs revealed significant bony lysis of the tarsus and distal tibia, and fine-needle aspirate of the bone lesion and lymph node revealed a
Murine sarcoma virus, CS-Moloney substrain, was inoculated intracranially into 2 litters of newborn Syrian hamsters within 24 h of birth. Seven of 12 hamsters which survived more than 30 days developed brain tumors in the cerebral cortex 104 to 153 days, 139 days on the average, after the virus
