Fibrous histiocytoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor. The origin is believed to be a pleuripotential cell, histiocytic in type, which can evolve into a facultative fibroblast under certain conditions. A case of a malignant fibrous histiocytoma in the subglottic larynx is reported. At present, the clinical behavior and degree of malignancy cannot be predicted. It appears that wide, local excision of the tumor with a margin of normal tissue is the treatment of choice. Regional block dissection of lymph nodes is not indicated unless clinically palpable nodes are present.

AbstractMalignant fibrous histiocytomas of the upper respiratory tract are rare, aggressive mesenchymal neoplasms. We report a case of a glottic malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the larynx on a 54 year old man. Only a few have been reported in the English literature. The clinical behaviour and degree of malignancy of these tumours cannot be predicted. Wide, aggressive excision of the tumour with a margin of normal tissue appears to be the treatment of choice. About two years after total laryngectomy the patient is well and free of disease.

Abstrak: Liposarkoma primer pada payudara termasuk salah satu tumor payudara yang sa-ngat jarang, insidennya kurang dari 1% dari semua tumor ganas payudara. Umumnya liposarkoma pada payudara jarang atau tidak menyebar ke kelenjar getah bening aksila. Gambaran histologik liposarkoma pada payudara sama dengan liposarkoma di ekstrimitas atau tubuh. Suatu liposarkoma yang sejati pada payudara ditegakkan bilamana gambaran cystosarcoma phyllodes tidak ditemukan dalam potongan-potongan  jaringan tumor. Satu kasus dilaporkan pada seorang wanita usia 49 tahun dengan tumor payudara besar. Gambaran Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma secara makroskopik menunjukkan massa multinoduler besar, warnanya bervariasi dari kuning, kuning kecoklatan bercampur coklat keabu-abuan. Mikroskopik terdiri dari 2 komponen yaitu lipogenik, menunjukkan gambaran  liposarkoma diferensiasi baik; dan nonlipogenik (dedifferentiated). Daerah dedifferentiated menunjukkan gambaran fibrosarkoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, dan liposarkoma miksoid. Daerah yang menyerupai malignant fibrous histiocytoma menunjukkan gambaran sitologik pleo-morfisme, arsitektur storiform, dan sel-sel datia. Fokus-fokus  liposarkoma miksoid telah dibuat pulasan dengan Alcian blue hasilnya positip. Kata kunci: dedifferentiated liposarcoma,  payudara.     Abstract: Primary liposarcoma of the breast belongs to very rarely found breast tumors, hav-ing an incidence of less than 1% of all malignant breast tumors. In general, this liposarcoma rarely or does not spread to axillar lymph nodes. Histopathologically, liposarcoma of the breast is similar to liposarcoma in extremities and other parts of the body. A true liposarcoma of the breast is diagnosed if there is no cystosarcoma phyllodes in the tumor tissues. We re-ported a 49-year-old female with a huge breast tumor (21x18x15cm), associated  with four lymph nodes in the ipsilateral axilla.  Histopathological examination of the tumor tissues showed a dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and of the four lymph nodes, as well as reactive hyperplasia with no metastase. Macroscopically, this dedifferentiated liposarcoma, appeared as large multinodular masses ranging in color from yellow to yellow-tan admixed with firm tan-gray areas. Microscopically, it consisted of two components: lipogenic, a well differen-tiated liposarcoma; and nonlipogenic, dedifferentiated one. These dedifferentiated areas showed a fibrosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and mixoid liposarcoma. Areas of malignant fibrous histiocytoma looked  cytologic pleomorphisme, storiform architecture, and multinucleate cells. Foci of mixoid liposarcoma were stained with Alcian blue, and showed positive results. Key words: dedifferentiated liposarcoma, breast.

The excision of tumors by wide local excision is challenging because the mass must be removed entirely without ever viewing it directly. Positive margin rates in sarcoma resection remain in the range of 20% to 35% and are associated with increased recurrence and decreased survival. Fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) may improve surgical accuracy and has been utilized in other surgical specialties. ABY-029, an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor Affibody molecule covalently bound to the near-infrared fluorophore IRDye 800CW, is an excellent candidate for future FGS applications in sarcoma resection; however, conventional methods with direct surface tumor visualization are not immediately applicable. A novel technique involving imaging through a margin of normal tissue is needed. We review the past and present applications of FGS and present a novel concept of indirect FGS for visualizing tumor through a margin of normal tissue and aiding in excising the entire lesion as a single, complete mass with tumor-free margins.
