| ===General===
| |
| *Common sarcoma.
| |
| *Usually deep tissue of the trunk and extremities.
| |
| *A diagnosis of exclusion<ref name=pmid19671033>{{cite journal |author=Matushansky I, Charytonowicz E, Mills J, Siddiqi S, Hricik T, Cordon-Cardo C |title=MFH classification: differentiating undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma in the 21st Century |journal=Expert Rev Anticancer Ther |volume=9 |issue=8 |pages=1135–44 |year=2009 |month=August |pmid=19671033 |pmc=3000413 |doi=10.1586/era.09.76 |url=}}</ref> / wastebasket for unclassifiable high grade sarcomas.
| |
| | |
| ===Microscopic===
| |
| Features:<ref name=Ref_WMSP_613>{{Ref WMSP|613}}</ref>
| |
| *Storiform pattern ([[AKA]] ''patternless pattern'') - '''key feature'''.
| |
| *Marked [[nuclear pleomorphism]] '''key feature'''.
| |
| **Variation is nuclear size, nuclear shape and nuclear staining (esp. hyperchromasia).
| |
| *Mitoses - abundant; atypical mitoses common.
| |
| *Necrosis (common).
| |
| *Mix of spindle cells and epithelioid cells.
| |
| *Deep to skin - '''important'''.
| |
| | |
| Other findings:
| |
| *+/-Giant cells (see subclassification).
| |
| *+/-Inflammation (see subclassification).
| |
| **Neutrophils.
| |
| **Eosinophils.
| |
| | |
| Notes:
| |
| *Superficial lesions with the morphology of ''PUS'' are called by some ''[[atypical fibroxanthoma]]s'' (AFXs).
| |
| | |
| DDx:
| |
| *[[Atypical fibroxanthoma]] (AFX) - superficial skin.
| |
| *[[Dedifferentiated liposarcoma]].
| |
| *[[Leiomyosarcoma]].
| |
| *[[Metaplastic carcinoma]].

| ====Subclassification====
| |
| Pleomorphic sarcoma (PS) is subclassified the following way:<ref name=Ref_WMSP_613-4>{{Ref WMSP|613-4}}</ref>
| |
| *PS with giant cells.
| |
| *PS with inflammation.
| |
| *PUS (not otherwise specified) - wastebasket diagnosis; if neither of the above two apply.
| |
| | |
| ===IHC===
| |
| Exclusionary stains - should be negative:
| |
| *AE1/AE3.
| |
| *p63.
| |
| *Myogenin.
| |
| *S-100.
| |
| *HMB-45.
| |
| | |
| Usually negative, may be positive:<ref name=Ref_WMSP613>{{Ref WMSP|613}}</ref>
| |
| *Desmin.
| |
| *SMA.
| |
| | |
| Commonly positive:
| |
| *CD68.<ref name=Ref_WMSP613>{{Ref WMSP|613}}</ref>
| |
| *Vimentin.

| Note:
| |
| *The first impression may be that it is [[granuloma|granulomatous inflammation]]; however, the cytoplasm doesn't fit (it isn't bubbly and it isn't sheet-like), and the nuclei aren't quite right (few footprint shaped nuclei).
