“…13 However, higher ratios of 80:20 for soft tissue over bone tumors were recorded in the previous study suggesting that the orofacial region may have more osteoarticular tumors over STTs relative to other regions. Also, benign soft tumors in general have been reported to far outnumber sarcomas, 18,19 but this study did not record such a wide variation, probably because STSs in the head and neck region are relatively more common when compared with other parts of the body. 12…”

Aim: To determine the prevalence of orofacial mesenchymal neoplasms and classify them using the WHO criteria while appraising its applicability. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study involving a total sample of 192 entries diagnosed as mesenchymal tumors for the period 1990-2018 at the Oral Pathology Department, University College Hospital, Ibadan. The histopathology records were examined and clinicopathological data were obtained. Hematoxylin and Eosin slides of the cases were assessed to confirm the diagnosis. Tumors were classified using the WHO 2013 classification. Data were analyzed and presented using descriptive statistics. Results: Orofacial mesenchymal tumors constituted 7.9% of 2402 biopsies. There were 26 diagnoses in 161 tumors of the WHO classification. Male-to-female ratio was 1.1:1. Peak age group was in the third decade. Soft tissue tumors were 61.5%, while bone tumors were 38.5%. Benign tumors constituted 49.5%, while sarcomas and intermediate tumors were 45.8% and 4.7%, respectively. The mandibular region (29.7%) was the most commonly affected site. Adipocytic and osteogenic tumors were the most prevalent tumors in the soft tissue and osteoarticular series, respectively, representing 19.8% and 32.3% of all cases, while orofacial sarcomas constituted 3.6% of all lesions seen. Conclusion: The findings in this study are in line with those of previous studies. However, the WHO classification may not be suited for the orofacial region. Crafting of a classification system for mesenchymal tumors of the orofacial region would thus be necessary.

“…9 Ramnani BG et al reported maximum frequency of lipomas as well, however the second most common benign soft tissue neoplasm in their study was found to be haemangioma, followed by nerve sheath tumours. 10 Most of the benign soft tissue neoplasms in our study were located in the trunk (36.9%) followed by the extremities and head and neck region. This was in concordance with the findings of Ramnani BG et al 10 Swelling was the main complaint (77%) by patients at presentation followed by pain (23%), in our study.…”

Background: The current WHO classification has categorized soft tissue tumours into benign, malignant and so-called intermediate neoplasms. Soft tissue sarcoma comprises <1% of adult cancers. The aim of the study was to clinically correlate soft tissue neoplasms and study the histomorphological features of various malignant soft tissue tumors.Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital in Mangalore, India from January 2019 to June 2020. Clinical details of all cases of soft tissue neoplasms retrieved from the medical records of our institution. Data collected included age, gender, presenting symptoms, site and size of soft tissue neoplasms and clinical diagnosis. Pathological diagnosis of these tumours was made and details recorded.Results: A total of 113 cases of soft tissue neoplasms were collected. 94.4% benign and 18.6 %. malignant tumours were present. 77% cases presented with swelling whereas 23% presented with pain. Majority of benign soft tissue tumours were located in the trunk (36.9%) and the most common type was lipomas (66.38%). Malignant soft tissue tumours showed male to female ratio of 1.33:1. Most predilection was noted for the extremities (42.8%) and leiomyosarcomas were the most common type (38%).Conclusions: The incidence of malignant soft tissue tumours is rare. Majority of the cases were noted in the extremities. Leiomyosarcoma was the most common type, in our study. Lipomas were the most common benign soft tissue tumours, and majority of the benign tumours were located in the trunk.

“…There are a few histological types of lipoma and fibrolipoma. 1,2 Most lipomas tend to grow undetected and may reach considerable dimensions without presenting any symptoms or causing issues other than cosmetic ones. Depending on the kind of tissue, lipomas have a number of histological variants, namely spindle cell lipoma, fibrolipoma, myxolipoma, myolipoma, angiolipoma, osteolipoma, pleomorphic lipoma, and chondroid lipoma.…”
