Depends a bit on where the tumor is located and how much cartilage is readily visible. | |||
**Hemangiopericytoma - no cartilage | |||
**Lymphoma - Sox9 negative, CD45 positive | |||
**Metaplastic Glioblastoma - usually older adults - GFAP positive | |||
**Chondrosarcoma - usually older adults - hyaline cartilage is malignant | |||
**Small cell osteosarcoma - Sox10 negative, no cartilage | |||
**Ewing sarcoma - Both are CD99 positive but ES is Sox9 negative, no cartilage | |||
