This text is constructed to educate clinicians on the general
classification and diagnostic approach to soft tissue tumors, such
that they feel more empowered to discuss the relevant features of
particular cases with their pathology colleagues. Particular
consideration is given to diagnostically and prognostically relevant
ancillary studies. The first section addresses the basic foundations
of soft tissue pathology, including common morphologic patterns,
approach to grading, concepts of immunohistochemistry and molecular
studies. Following this introductory section, each soft tissue tumor
is presented according to its morphologic differentiation. Sections
include lipomatous tumors, fibrous lesions, fibrohistiocytic tumors,
neural and nerve sheath tumors, and smooth muscle neoplasms. Each
entity is presented in a consistent and organized manner, first
discussing the clinical presentation and then addressing the gross and
microscopic features. Following this, the immunohistochemical and
molecular findings are presented The text then briefly discusses
prognosis and treatment. Representative photographs of the microscopic
appearance will be included in a large format. Soft Tissue
Pathology for Clinicians will further patient care by concisely
educating the clinician on the relevant aspects of soft tissue
diagnostics.
