Bone and Soft TIssue Flashcards
(69 cards)
Common pseudolipoblasts
fat atrophy fat necrosis hibernoma cells silicone reaction signet ring cells fixation artifact neoplastic fat infiltration
Pleomorphic lipoma/spindle cell lipoma histo features
well circ, superficial
floret cells, ropey collagen, may have little or no fat!
clin: older men, upper shoulder, H/D
IHC: CD34+ many cells (ALT will have rare cells)
MDM2 - never have amplification
CD34+
DFSP, peripheral nerve sheath tumours, pleomorphic lipoma
most common type of ALT
sclerosing variant - dense fibrous bands
low power enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei in fibrous septae
Variants of ALT
lipoma-like
sclerosing (1st most common)
myxoid/round cell (2nd most common)
Cytogenetics of ALT
12q amplification, many genes including MDM2 amplification
ring and marker chromosomes
myxoma histo
can be cellular
few blood vessels
little atypia on low power
myxofibrosarcoma histo
nuclear atypia
vascular pattern - CD34 around vessels
extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma histo and ddx
cords of cells touching each other
cytoplasmic eosinophila
bland myxoid background between cords
ddx: myoepithelioma (CK+)
myxoid liposarcoma histo
characteristic chicken-wire plexiform vascular pattern
lack of cytological atypia
even distribution of spindle cells
uniform myxoid stroma
myxoid/round cell LS demographics and gross
peak age 5th decade
extremities, (rarely retroperitoneum)
never in children
hist: blue myxoid material in cystic like spaces
lymphangioma-like, cyst-like spaces but look for solid areas
be careful around periphery of nodules - can be very round cell and hypercellular
how to tell round cell from myxoid
round cells predominate - whole 4X field
blood vessels inconspicuous and lost
myxoid/round cell LS cytogenetics
mostly t(12;16) DDIT3-FUS some t(12;22) DDIT3-EWS
Evan’s tumour, low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma histo (aka hyalinising spindle cell tumour with collagen/giant rosettes)
bland spindle cell tumour with diffuse distribution
alternating fibrous and myxoid zones
vascular plexiform areas
collagen rosettes
Evan’s tumour cytogenetics
t(7;16) - CREB3L2-FUS
t(11;16) - CREB3L1-FUS
Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma cytogenetics
t(9;22) - NR4A3-EWS
t(9;17) - NR4A3/TAF2N
Ollier disease
Multiple enchondroma - entire skel, half the body or one limb
non hereditary
increased cellularity
Maffucci’s syndrome
Multiple enchondromas
Soft tissue hemangiomas
increased risk of CS
enchondroma histo features
abuttment of cortical bone with no evidence of invasion
long bones: hypocellular, bland cytology, degenerative changes
small bones: moderately cellular, increased nuclear size; no invasion of medullary or cortical bone
ways to differentiate cellular schwannoma and MPNST
schwannoma: encapsulated, rare necrosis, no divergent differentiation, S100 diffuse +
MPNST: not encapsulated, commonly necrotic
divergent differentiation seen in 10%, S100 focal or patchy or negative
chondroblastoma demographics and gross
sclerotic rim
metaphyseal or epiphysis
DI - very benign looking
enchondroma vs osteochondroma
enchondroma - intramedullary
osteochondroma - cortex and medullary continuty at sites of tendon insertion
chondroblastoma histo
oval nuclei, eosinophilic cytoplasm with well-defined cytoplasmic boundaries; chicken wire calcification (between cells)
small round cells with atypia minimal
chondromyxoid fibroma
heterogeneous; benign DI appearance; metaphyseal in large bones but occ in hands and feet
macrolobular or microlobular growth patterns with stellate cytoplasmic extentions that are pale pink
