Cytopathology of Soft Tissue Tumors with Their Varying Presentation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Soft tissue tumors continue to challenge clinicians due to their unique character, the infrequency of their occurrence and the difficulties in predicting outcomes. Advances in imaging, as well as improvements in surgical techniques and adjunctive treatment methods, have improved care for patients with these unusual disorders. Aims and Objectives: Lesion detection and characterization of soft tissue tumors by cytopathology. Methods: The cytological features of soft tissue tumors(STT) are observed, diagnosed and the statistics for the cytopathology are reviewed and compared with literature references. Results: Of the 2300 cases recorded in our study, 2278(99%) were diagnosed as benign STT, while 22(1%) as malignant on cytological examination. The median age of occurrence of benign STT was 3 rd decade and that of malignant STT was 4th decade of life. Prevalence was highest in the age group of 20-49 years with male predomoinance. Conclusion: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of STT combined with competent imaging and immunocytochemistry. FNAC is rapid and non-invasive technique, which gives diagnostic clues and helps the clinicians in better management of these patients
