Case series of rare primary cardiac sarcomas: A challenging histopathological diagnosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare and histologically diverse, with single tumors able to demonstrate histological heterogeneity. Consequently, they often misdiagnosed as other common tumors, such myxoma or metastatic malignancies. Incorrect diagnoses can result in incomplete surgeries, inadequate treatment regimens, early recurrence. In our experience, based on the diverse cytological characteristics of these immunostaining panels should be used differentiate exact tumor type. SMA, CD31, myogenin, ERG, SOX10 identify spindle-shaped polymorphic cell patterns, while CK, LCA, S100, desmin for round monomorphic patterns. Using help type primary sarcomas, which is normally a challenge pathologists.

Histopathological diagnosis of cutaneous vascular sarcomas.
Cutaneous sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal lesions. This study investigates the histopathological and immunohistochemical features in different cases of angiosarcoma and Kaposi's sarcoma (cutaneous vascular sarcomas), which are representative for medical practice. The clinical-histopathological-immunohistochemical correlations render possible the differential diagnosis an...
