Glomus tumors are usually solitary and small lesions. The vast majority are found in the hand, wrist, foot, and under the fingernails. [3]They are often painful, and the pain is reproduced when the lesion is placed in cold water - a history of sensitivity to cold weather is also common. [6]
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 ...
Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is a very rare malignant tumor of soft tissues that on microscopic examination consists of small round or ovoid neoplastic epithelioid fibroblast-like cells, i.e. cells that have features resembling both epithelioid cells and fibroblasts. [1]
A surgical incision is a cut made through the skin and soft tissue to facilitate an operation or procedure.Often, multiple incisions are possible for an operation. In general, a surgical incision is made as small and unobtrusive as possible to facilitate safe and timely operating conditions and recovery.
Surgery is typically a lumpectomy, where the tumor and a small amount of tissue are removed from the breast, Iyengar said. The aesthetic result is “usually quite good;" there may not even be a scar.
Total excision or liposuction is the appropriate course of action for the management of angiolipomas. [15] After excision, the non-infiltrating subtype typically does not recur. [ 16 ] Wide excision with distinct margins is necessary to reduce the likelihood of recurrence because the infiltrating subtype is linked to a 35% to 50% recurrence rate.
NF is the most common of the benign fibroblastic proliferative tumors of soft tissue. [4] Nodular fasciitis is a rapidly growing, usually self-limiting neoplasm that occurs primarily but not exclusively in adults. Due to its rapid growth, NF is often misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor, usually a sarcoma. [8]
Fibrosarcoma (fibroblastic sarcoma) is a malignant mesenchymal tumour derived from fibrous connective tissue and characterized by the presence of immature proliferating fibroblasts or undifferentiated anaplastic spindle cells in a storiform pattern. Fibrosarcomas mainly arise in people between the ages of 25 and 79. [1]
