PMCID: PMC3444748. DOI: 10.1097/PAS.0b013e31825fa931. Abstract. Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) characterized by YWHAE-FAM22 genetic fusion is histologically higher grade and clinically more aggressive than ESS with JAZF1-SUZ12 or equivalent genetic rearrangements, hence it is clinically important to recognize this subset of ESS Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an extremely rare non-Langerhans histiocyte disorder of unknown cause that most commonly presents with symptoms due to unifocal or multifocal extranodal tumors. HS may occur as a sporadic illness or may be clonally related to a separate synchronous or metachronous hematologic malignancy, such as follicular lymphoma. Comments: Microscopic Features of Histiocytic Sarcoma: The growth pattern is diffuse with partial or total effacement of the native architecture by a proliferation of high-grade malignant cells resembling histiocytes.In partially involved lymph nodes, the tumor distribution is paracortical. Sinuses may be involved, but there is no preferential involvement of sinuses Histiocytic Sarcoma · Definition o Malignant proliferation of cells showing morphologic and immunophenotypic features similar to those of mature tissue histiocytes o Expression of one or more histiocytic markers (without dendritic cell markers) o Exclusion of extramyeloid manifestations of acute monocytic leukemi
Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma (MFH; Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma UPS) GENERAL INFORMATION Malignant Fibrous Histiocytoma was first described in the 1960s presumably derived from a mixed histiocytic and fibroblastic cellular origin but is it now believed that it is a lesion derived from fibroblast differentiation Normal bone marrow.

[Outline of proliferative disorders in the mononuclear phagocytic system--clinicopathologic findings on malignant histiocytosis] Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is a rare but controversial hematopoietic neoplasm. In the past, malignancies have been misclassified as histiocytic tumors due to overlapping histologic features and.
Histiocytic sarcoma (HS) is an extremely rare malignant neoplasm showing morphologic and immunophenotypic evidence of histiocytic differentiation. The vast majority of previously reported HSs are now generally recognized to be misdiagnosed examples of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, predominantly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or anaplastic large cell.

Histiocytic sarcoma is a rare, malignant neoplasm of the lymphohematopoietic system that usually occurs in the skin, lymph node, and intestinal tract. Here we describe a unique case of primary central nervous system histiocytic sarcoma that initially showed an indolent clinical course following local resection and radiotherapy Calcifying Aponeurotic Fibromas are benign fibrogenic masses that usually present as a painless mass in the hands and feet in children and young adults. Diagnosis is made with a biopsy showing fibrous tissue with central region of calcification and cartilage formation. Treatment is generally observation as the lesion often resolves with maturity Table 2 summarizes the specific hematopoietic diagnoses (histiocytic sarcoma [HS], follicular dendritic cell sarcoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma [ALCL], DLBCL, myeloid sarcoma) and their respective immunophenotype, as defined in the 2017 WHO Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues 14 and consensus criteria. 14-18.
Langerhans cell sarcoma is a rare and aggressive high grade hematopoietic neoplasm with a dismal prognosis. It has a unique morphological and immunotypic profile with a CD1a/ langerin/S100 + phenotype. T cell lineage markers except for CD4 in Langerhans cell sarcoma have not been documented previously. We report a case of 86 year-old male of Caucasian descent who presented with an enlarging. Metastatic infiltration of the bone marrow with solid tumours is relatively frequent (28 - 85%).

Histology. Bone marrow is hypo-, normo- or hypercellular with reactively changed hematopoiesis and possibly slight dysplastic changes.

Unlike dedifferentiated liposarcoma, histiocytic sarcoma expresses CD163, PU.1 (SPI1), and CD45RO. However, the presence of numerous foam cells (which express histiocytic markers) is a potential diagnostic pitfall

Malignant histiocytosis is a rare hereditary disease found in the Bernese Mountain Dog and humans, characterized by histiocytic infiltration of the lungs and lymph nodes.The liver, spleen, and central nervous system can also be affected. Histiocytes are a component of the immune system that proliferate abnormally in this disease. In addition to its importance in veterinary medicine, the. Histiocytic sarcoma is derived from histiocytes and is among the rarest of the tumors affecting the lymphoid tissue.

Symptoms range from isolated bone lesions to multisystem disease. LCH is part of a group of syndromes called histiocytoses, which are characterized by an abnormal proliferation of histiocytes (an archaic term.
