Abstract

The clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical, and ultrastructural features of soft tissue angiosarcomas are not well defined. Eighty cases of angiosarcoma that involved the deep subcutis, skeletal muscle, retroperitoneum, mesentery, and mediastinum are reported. The lesions occurred in 50 male and 30 female patients who were 5-97 years of age; the peak incidence was in the seventh decade of life. A variety of associated conditions were documented in 20 of these cases, including a history of other neoplasms (some irradiated), synthetic vessel grafts, heritable conditions, and prior trauma or surgery. The angiosarcomas occurred in the extremities (n = 43 cases), trunk (n = 28), and the head and neck (n = 9) regions, with the thigh and the retroperitoneum being the most common sites. They often were characterized as enlarging, painful masses of several weeks' duration and were occasionally associated with acute hemorrhage, anemia, or a coagulopathy. The tumors measured 1-15 cm in diameter (median 5 cm) and frequently were hemorrhagic and multinodular. There was a wide morphologic spectrum within and between cases, including areas similar to cavernous and capillary hemangioma, Dabska tumor, spindle cell and epithelioid hemangioendoth...Continue Reading

Carcinosarcoma

Carcinosarcoma is a malignant neoplasm that contains elements of carcinoma and sarcoma so extensively intermixed as to indicate neoplasia of epithelial and mesenchymal tissue. Discover the latest research on carcinosarcoma here.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
