Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Soft tissue tumors (STT) can be defined as non-epithelial, extra-skeletal tissues of the body exclusive of the reticulo-endothelial system glia and supporting tissues of various parenchymal organs. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examination of STT assess the value of these techniques in verifying the primary diagnosis and their classification. The main objective of this study was to study the histopathological features of STT and to study the occurrence of STT in relation to age, sex and anatomical site. A total of 186 specimens were received at the Department of Pathology, M.G.M. Medical College, Indore have been studied with a view to carrying out a histopathological analysis. Out of 186 cases of ST, benign tumors were 160 (86.02%) and malignant lesions 26 (13.98%), with ratio of benign to malignant being 6.15:1. Out of 95 STT in males, 78 (41.93%) were benign and 17 (9.14%) were malignant. Out of 91 STT in females 82 (44.09%) were benign and 09 (4.84%) were malignant. Among the benign lesions major histological types in a total of 186 cases were lipoma which comprised 100 (53.76%) followed by hemangioma 26 (13.99%). The malignant lesions, major histological types were fibrosarcoma 13 (6.99%) and liposarcoma 06 (3.23%). Overall most common site for occurrence of STT is upper limb 42 (22.58%) followed by back 41 (22.04%). Most common site for benign STT is back 41 (22.04%) and most common site for malignant tumors is lower limb 13 (6.98%). Benign STT (86.02%) are more common amongst females (44.09%) as compared to males (41.93%). Malignant STT (13.98%) are more common amongst males (9.14%) as compared to females (4.84%).
