Overview

Mesenchymal neoplasms pose a unique challenge to surgical pathologists in general, a challenge facilitated by the sheer number of entities, the range of patterns of differentiation evident histologically, the histologic similarity of lesions with varying biologic potential, and the relative rarity of these tumors compared with epithelial neoplasms. Contemporary classifications of mesenchymal (specifically, soft tissue and bone) tumors use pathologic assessment of the pattern of differentiation
