Purpose: The purpose of this work was to specify the epidemiological profile of soft tissue sarcomas at the Dakar Cancer Institute and to evaluate their diagnostic and therapeutic management. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective study involving 40 patients with soft tissue sarcomas treated at the Dakar Cancer Institute during a 3-year period from August 1, 2009 to July 30, 2012. Results: Soft tissue sarcoma represents 0.4% of cancer cases at the Dakar Cancer Institute. The average age was 41.2 years. The sex ratio was 0.6. There was a family history of cancer in 5 patients. History of type 1 neurofibromatosis was found in 2 patients and irradiation for pelvic cancer in 1 patient. The average time for consultation was 17.2 months. The most frequent localizations were the thigh (17.5%) and the shoulder (12.5%). The mean lesion size was 14.3 cm. Imaging showed metastasis in 9 patients (24.4%) and extension to neighboring organs in 17 patients (42.5%). The most common histological type was Rhabdomyosarcoma (20%) followed by Dermatofibrosarcoma (17.5%). High grade sarcoma was found in 5 patients (12.5%). Excision was the most common type of surgery (30%). Chemotherapy was performed in 13 patients (32.5%) including 8 cases of palliative chemotherapies. Radiotherapy was performed in 5 patients (12.5%). The goal was neo adjuvant in 2 patients, adjuvant in 1 patient and palliative in 2 patients. After a 52-month followup period, 1 patient presented a local recurrence and 18 patients died.

“…After reading the full text version of the 11 remaining studies, one study was excluded because the diagnostic performance of MRI in detecting residual soft tissue sarcoma after unplanned excision was not investigated [11]. Eventually, 10 studies remained and were included [4,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] (Fig. 1).…”

“…2. Risk of bias with respect to patient selection was rated low in all ten included studies [4,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Risk of bias with respect to index test was rated unclear in five studies [4,13,15,16,19], because these studies did not report whether interpretation of MRI was blinded to the reference standard.…”

“…Similarly, risk of bias with respect to reference standard was rated unclear in all ten included studies [4,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], because none reported whether interpretation of the reference standard was blinded to MRI findings. Risk of bias with respect to flow and timing was rated high in one study [16], because not all included patients received the same reference standard (pathologic findings after re-excision served as reference standard in 21 patients, whereas clinical/imaging follow-up served as reference standard in the remaining 17 patients).…”

“…Risk of bias with respect to flow and timing was rated high in one study [16], because not all included patients received the same reference standard (pathologic findings after re-excision served as reference standard in 21 patients, whereas clinical/imaging follow-up served as reference standard in the remaining 17 patients). There were applicability concerns with respect to patient selection in four studies because two of these studies also included some patients who underwent neoadjuvant therapy before re-excision [13,14] and two other studies [4,17] also included a few patients with other soft tissue malignancies than sarcoma (Table 1). There were no other applicability concerns.…”

Imaging characteristics of spindle cell lipoma and its variants

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A spindle cell lipoma (SCL) is a relatively common tumor that can be challenging to the radiologist, pathologist, or surgeon to diagnose, particularly when internal fat content is scant or absent. Although these lesions may be found at various locations, the typical presentation for this lesion is a well-circumscribed and non-aggressive subcutaneous mass in the posterior neck presenting in a middle-aged to elderly man. In this article, the typical and atypical imaging characteristics of a spindle cell lipoma (SCL) will be reviewed. Knowledge of the common imaging and pathologic features of SCLs can help suggest the diagnosis and guide patient management.
