Journal Title: Pathology Update: Tropical Journal of Pathology and Microbiology - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Background: Soft tissue tumours are a diverse and fascinating group of lesions that arise from the supporting soft tissue of the body. Although pathologically diverse, they frequently exhibit similar clinical presentations and radiological features. Correct histopathological diagnosis is therefore crucial. Aims and objectives: This study aims to analyze the histopathological patterns of soft tissue tumours and their distribution according to age, sex and site of occurrence in patients. Methods: This study comprised of 170 cases of soft tissue tumours received in the Department of Pathology, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar were analysed. Their gross features, microscopic findings were analysed in detail. Soft tissue tumours were divided into benign and malignant categories and their further sub typing were done according to WHO Classification. The distribution of soft tissue tumours according to the age, sex and site of occurrence was studied. Results: Out of 170 cases of soft tissue tumours, 158 cases (92.4%) were benign, 2 cases (1.18%) were malignant and 10 cases (5.88%) were classified under intermediate category. Adipocytic tumors formed the largest group constituting 92 cases (46%). Vascular tumors were the second commonest (7%) followed by peripheral nerve sheath tumours (10.5%). The benign tumours were seen in younger age as compared to malignant tumours. Conclusion: Benign tumours were more common than malignant. The most common benign tumours were lipoma followed by hemangioma (14.0%) and schwannoma (5.5%). There is wide range of their distribution according to age, sex and site. The benign tumours were seen in younger age as compared to malignant tumours.
