Features nearly 2,000 high-quality images that clearly capture the clinical, macroscopic and microscopic features of benign and malignant conditions, helping you relate these characteristics to their specific classifications.

Utilizes a logical, well-structured format including summary outlines at the beginning of each chapter, a color-coded page design, and a consistent approach to every entity, enabling you to navigate the text quickly, improve turnaround time when diagnosing a specimen, and clearly report on the prognosis and therapeutic management options.

"This book remains the premier reference for soft tissue pathology. In short, this book should be considered a necessity for anyone who has even an occasional interaction with soft tissue tumors."

We report 75 cases of malignant lymphoma presenting in soft tissue taken from the files of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. All histologic subtypes with the exception of lymphoblastic lymphoma were represented. Our findings indicate that virtually any soft tissue site may be involved; there is no sex predilection; and size is not helpful in predicting survival. Among the 55 patients for which race was known, there were no black patients. Thirty-three patients with extensive evaluations at the time of diagnosis had no evidence of disseminated disease, but eight of these exhibited widespread disease within 3 months of diagnosis, and seven of the eight died of disease (median survival, 4 months). The remaining 25 patients had much better outcomes; 18 of 19 with intermediate and high-grade lymphomas were alive and well at a median of 74 months after diagnosis. Some tumors exhibited a propensity for involvement of remote soft tissue sites.

Dr. Folpe attended Amherst College (Amherst, MA) as an undergraduate, the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY) as a medical student, and performed his residency in Anatomic Pathology at the University of Washington Medical Center (Seattle, WA). Dr. Folpe received additional fellowship training in Immunohistochemistry, under the direction of Dr. Allen Gown, and in Soft Tissue Pathology, under the direction of Dr. Sharon Weiss.

Dr. Folpe is the author of over 250 medical publications, principally in the areas of soft tissue pathology and diagnostic immunohistochemistry, the co-author of the 6th edition and 7th editions of Enzinger and Weiss' Soft Tissue Tumors, co-author of Series 4 of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Fascicle on Soft Tissue Tumors, co-author of the 1st and 2nd editions of Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology: A Volume in the Foundations in Diagnostic Pathology Series, and a member of the consensus conferences and editorial boards for the 3rd, 4th and 5th editions of the WHO Classification of Tumors of Soft Tissue and Bone. Dr. Folpe is Co-Chair of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center Sarcoma Disease Group and co-Director of the Mayo Clinic Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology Fellowship. He is the Bone and Soft Tissue Associate Editor of Modern Pathology, also serves on the editorial boards of numerous other pathology and dermatopathology journals. Dr. Folpe has lectured widely on various aspects of soft tissue pathology and diagnostic immunohistochemistry.

Clinical information: The patient was a six month-old girl who had a mass in her right arm near the axilla on the undersurface of the arm. The mass appeared to be fixed to the dermis and was irregular. The mass was surgically excised and generated a piece of tan, soft tissue, 3.0 x 2.5 x 1.4 cm. The followings are representative images from the excised specimen:

Fibrous hamartoma of infancy (FHI) is a rare, benign, mesenchymal tumor of infants and children. Most of them occur during the first 2 years of life and occasionally at birth. The treatment of choice is local excision. It may recur if inadequately excised but will not metastasize and should therefore be treated conservatively.

The histogenesis of FHI is unclear. Dickey and Sotelo-Avila reviewed 197 cases described in the literature and found no lesion reported having familial or syndromic association, or occurring in combination with other hamartomas 11. Lately, Lakeshminarayanan et al. reported a case of FHI with cytogenetic study which revealed a reciprocal translocation, t(2;3)(q31;q21), as the sole abnormality 12. More studies may be need in further clarifying the nature of this lesion.

The features of FHI has been recently well reviewed by Groisman et al.13, and Fletcher et al.14, Grossly, FHIs are typically 1 to 8 cm in diameter but may reach10 cm. The tumor usually situates entirely in the lower dermis or subcutaneous fat and forms a poorly circumscribed roughly rounded or bosselated mass. Most tumors blend partly or completely with the surrounding subcutaneous fat, some may attach to the superficial fascia, or extend upward into the subepidermal zone. The cut surface of the mass consists of firm, glistening, gray-white tissue of fibrous appearance intermixed with irregular small islands of yellow fat. The gross appearance varies according to the relative proportions of adipose and fibrous tissue. In those tumors with predominant fatty tissue, the tumor may resemble a lipoma traversed by irregular, gray-white fibrous streaks and bands.

During the last year of anatomic pathology training in the department she became the first women to hold the position of Chief Resident. Following a brief tenure on the faculty, she joined the staff of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP), eventually becoming the Chair of the Department of Soft Tissue Pathology. During her 13 years at the AFIP, she co-authored with Franz Enzinger the now iconic textbook, Soft Tissue Tumors, now in its 6th edition. Subsequent academic appointments included the A. J. French Professor and Director of Anatomic Pathology at the University of Michigan and Professor and Vice Chair of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University. In addition to her current responsibilities as Director of the Expert Consultation Service at Emory, she has served as Associate Dean for Faculty Development and Faculty Affairs in the School of Medicine where she created a five month "Junior Faculty Development Course," and yearlong "Chair On-Boarding" curriculum for new chairs. Additional leadership activities have included appointments to the Emory Healthcare Board of Directors, University Senate, and Dean's Leadership Council.

Over her career she has published extensively and lectured widely on all aspects of soft tissue tumors, especially prognostic factors in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (formerly malignant fibrous histiocytoma), dedifferentiation in liposarcoma, and borderline vascular tumors (hemangioendothelioma). She is also credited with the first description of numerous new entities including: epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, spindle cell hemangioma (formerly spindle cell hemangioendothelioma), giant cell fibroblastoma, ischemic fasciitis, ossifying fibromyxoid tumor, epithelioid sarcoma-like hemangioendothelioma, pleomorphic hyalinizing angiectatic tumor, and inflammatory myxohyaline tumor (myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma).

She has held key leadership positions including Chair of the Second World Health Organization Committee for the Classification of Soft Tissue Tumors, President of the United States Canadian Academy of Pathology, President of International Society of Bone and Soft Tissue Pathology (ISBSTP), member Residency Review Committee (RRC) for Pathology, and Trustee and President of the American Board of Pathology. As President of the Board she oversaw the adoption by the Board of a Physician Scientist Pathway leading to certification. She also serves on the editorial boards of American Journal of Surgical Pathology and Modern Pathology.

Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma of the sinonasal area. Here, we present two primary cases of UPS and three post-irradiation sinonasal UPS cases. Imaging findings were misinterpreted by radiologists as representing other malignant tumors or recurrence of the primary tumor. Our cases indicate that post-irradiation UPS can originate within any part of the radiation field. Treatment outcomes of primary sinonasal UPS seem to be favorable if the tumor is treated ag-gressively, but the outcomes of post-irradiation sinonasal UPS may be poor if appropriate surgical margins cannot be obtained.

Background: Soft tissue tumors are defined as mesenchymal proliferations which occur in the extraskeletal non-epithelial tissues of the body, excluding the viscera, coverings of brain and lymphoreticular system. The objective of this study was to study the histopathological features of soft tissue tumors and to study the occurrence of soft tissue tumors in relation to age, sex and anatomical site.
