Lesions of the Soft Tissues

Abstract

Prognostic problems posed to the pathologist by overgrowths of the soft tissues and skeletal system are many. Their cause, and the possible consequences of their solution, are easy to state. The normal mesenchymally derived cell is ubiquitous and has many forms, and its reacting and neoplastic equivalents have many more. The neoplastic may be virtually indistinguishable from the non-neoplastic, reactive or reparative, and the malignant neoplastic from the benign neoplastic; while even lesions that are unanimously acceptable as histologically malignant may behave in a quite unpredictable way. Nowhere in the histopathology of tumourous growths is there such nebulous nosology, and the array of terms is bewildering.
