==Desmoplastic small round cell tumour==
==Desmoplastic small round cell tumour==
*Abbreviated ''DSRCT''.
{{Main|Desmoplastic small round cell tumour}}
===General===
*Males > females.
*Usu. affects young adults.
*Typically retroperitoneal.
*Poor prognosis.
 
===Microscopic===
Features:<ref name=pmid10207460>{{cite journal |author=Pickhardt PJ, Fisher AJ, Balfe DM, Dehner LP, Huettner PC |title=Desmoplastic small round cell tumor of the abdomen: radiologic-histopathologic correlation |journal=Radiology |volume=210 |issue=3 |pages=633–8 |year=1999 |month=March |pmid=10207460 |doi= |url=http://radiology.rsna.org/content/210/3/633.full}}</ref>
#Broad bands of paucicellular fibrous stroma with:
#Small round cells in nests with an undulating sharp border.
#*The small round cells lack distinct nucleoli and have scant cytoplasm; they are ''[[small round cell tumour]]'' cells.
 
Notes:
*Usu. abundant mitoses.
*+/-Necrosis.
 
DDx:
*Metastatic [[germ cell tumour]] (DDx of location and age).
*[[Embryonal RMS]].
**It should be noted that DSRCT, like embryonal RMS, is +ve for desmin!
*Solid variant of [[alveolar RMS]].
**Nests in alveolar RMS have round edges.
