摘要: Abstract Context.—Soft tissue pathology encompasses a remarkably diverse assortment of benign and malignant soft tumors. Rendering definitive diagnosis is complicated not only by the large volume existing histologic subtypes (>100) but also frequently presence overlapping clinical, histologic, immunohistochemical, and/or radiographic features. During past 3 decades, mesenchymal tumor–specific, cytogenetic molecular genetic abnormalities have demonstrated an increasingly important, ancillary role in tumor diagnostics. Objectives.—To review diagnostic tools available to pathologist further classify specific types recurrent aberrations examined. Advantages limitations individual approaches will be highlighted. Data Sources.—Previously published articles, peer-reviewed research publications, extensive experience authors include case files The ...
