Soft tissue sarcoma refers to a broad group of tumors that originate from connective tissues. They tend to have similar histologic appearance and biological behavior, and can be either benign or malignant. Soft tissue sarcomas can arise in any part of the pet's body but skin and subcutaneous tumors are the most commonly observed.
Dogs with hemangiosarcoma rarely show clinical signs until the tumor has become very large and has metastasized. Typically, clinical signs are due to hypovolemia after the tumor ruptures, causing extensive bleeding. Owners of the affected dogs often discover that the dog has hemangiosarcoma only after the dog collapses.
Soft-tissue sarcomas commonly originate in the upper body, in the shoulder or upper chest. Some symptoms are uneven posture, pain in the trapezius muscle, and cervical inflexibility [difficulty in turning the head]. [12] The most common site to which soft-tissue sarcoma spreads is the lungs. [13]
Myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), although a rare type of tumor, is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas, i.e. cancerous tumors, that develop in the soft tissues of elderly individuals. [1] Initially considered to be a type of histiocytoma termed fibrous histiocytoma or myxoid variant of malignant fibrous histiocytoma, [ 2 ] Angervall et al ...

EMC was firstly described in 1953 by Stout et al. when they discussed the different species of extraskeletal chondrosarcoma, [2] but EMC concept was firstly proposed in 1972 by Enzinger et al. [3] Brody thought that this was a unique low-grade malignancy with a low growth rate and both clinically and histopathologically distinct anamnesis beside the typical chondrosarcomas. [4]
Mast cell tumor on lip of a dog. Veterinary oncology is a subspecialty of veterinary medicine that deals with cancer diagnosis and treatment in animals. Cancer is a major cause of death in pet animals. In one study, 45% of the dogs that reached 10 years of age or older died of cancer. [1]
The epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma subtype of IMT shows sheets of epithelioid to round cells within a myxoid (i.e. appears blue or purple compared to the normal red appearance of connective tissue when appropriately H&E stained and examined under the microscope), collagenous, or mixed myxoid-collagenous matrix, <5% spindle ...
