Myoepitheliomas of the Skin and Soft Tissue -A Clinicopathologic Study of Three Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myoepithelioma of the skin and soft tissue is a newly recognized entity with characteristic histopathologic and immunohistochemical features, which should be differentiated from a variety of tumors. Myoepitheliomas are in the same pathologic spectrum of mixed tumors and parachordomas. Tumors comprised mostly of myoepithelial cells without obvious epithelial differentiation are designated myoepitheliomas. Since the entity has not been well documented in Taiwan, the clinicopathologic features of three cases of cutaneous and soft tissue myoepitheliomas are reported. (Dermatol Sinica 27: 59-67, 2009)

متن کاملEvaluation of Soft Tissue Tumors by Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology and Its Correlation with Histopathology: A Retrospective Study in a Tertiary Care Center
Background and objectives: Soft tissue is a non-epithelial extraskeletal tissue of the body. Soft tissue tumors (STTs) are the most commonly diagnosed neoplasms. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is minimally invasive, quick, and a definitive diagnostic modality. Biopsy for histopathology is the gold standard method for diagnosis but is invasive. The aims of this study were to determine th...
