Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Key elements of the consensus are the defining role of KIT immunopositivity in diagnosis and a proposed scheme for estimating metastatic risk in these lesions, based on tumor size and mitotic count, recognizing that it is probably unwise to use the definitive term "benign" for any GIST, at least at the present time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma: A Clinicopathological Analysis of 155 Cases with a Proposal for an Expanded Definition of Dedifferentiation
TL;DR: The study supports the expansion of the definition of dedifferentiated liposarcoma to include tumors with low- grade dedifferentiation and also suggests that low-grade dedifferentation represents a precursor lesion of high-grade Dedifferentiation.
Journal Article
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma. A clinicopathological analysis of 155 cases with a proposal for an expanded definition of dedifferentiation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 155 cases of dedifferentiated liposarcoma to define its clinicopathologic features and behavior, in particular how the extent and grade of the dedifferentiation affected outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Well-differentiated liposarcoma (atypical lipoma) of deep soft tissue of the extremities, retroperitoneum, and miscellaneous sites. A follow-up study of 92 cases with analysis of the incidence of "dedifferentiation".
Sharon W. Weiss,Vasantha K. Rao +1 more
TL;DR: The study indicates that the behavior of well-differentiated liposarcomas is strongly influenced by location and is not a site-specific phenomenon, but is more likely a time-dependent phenomenon seen in situations with a high likelihood for clinical persistence of disease for a long period.
Journal ArticleDOI
CD-34 is expressed by a distinctive cell population in peripheral nerve, nerve sheath tumors, and related lesions.
TL;DR: It is concluded that CD-34 (or a closely related epitope) defines a normally occurring nerve sheath cell that appears to be cytologically and immunophenotypically distinct from a fibroblast and conventional Schwann cell.
