Desmoplastic small round cell tumour, abbreviated DSRCT, is a rare malignant soft tissue lesion that tends to afflict young adults.

General

  • Males > females.
  • Usu. affects young adults.
  • Typically retroperitoneal.
  • Poor prognosis.

Clinics

  • Rare cases in the CNS reported.

Features:[1]

  1. Broad bands of paucicellular fibrous stroma with:
  2. Small round cells in nests with an undulating sharp border.

Notes:

  • Usu. abundant mitoses.
  • +/-Necrosis.
