11] Since these tumours consist of admixtures of both classical squamoid and spindle shaped sarcomatoid cells, different terms such as carcinosarcoma, metaplastic carcinoma,
pseudosarcoma, sarcomatoid carcinoma, spindle cell carcinoma are used to describe them.
Heterotopic mesenteric ossification: a distinctive
pseudosarcoma commonly associated with intestinal obstruction.
Malignant tumours simulating AAM include mixed mesodermal tumours, malignant fibrous histiocytomas, botyroid
pseudosarcoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas squamous cell carcinomas and extramucosal anal adenocarcinomas.
Liposarcomas have to be differentiated from benign entities such as a true lipoma or, in our patient with a BMI of 61,
pseudosarcoma of the morbidly obese.
Since then, it has also been called
pseudosarcoma, spindle cell carcinoma, and sarcomatoid carcinoma.
Pseudosarcoma (polypoid sarcoma-like masses) associated with squamous-cell carcinoma of the mouth, fauces, and larynx: Report of ten cases.
72,82,139-150) We prefer the term inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor, which encompasses a variety of terms in the literature, including inflammatory pseudotumor, pseudosarcomatous myofibroblastic tumor, inflammatory pseudosarcomatous fibromyxoid tumor, and fibromyxoid pseudotumor; this term is reflective of the low-grade nature of this lesion and does not incite the same alarm and confusion as the terms that include
pseudosarcoma.
Cutaneous carcinosarcomais a biphasic malignant tumor made up of both epithelial and mesenchymal components, (2,5,6,11,13,14) Our review of the literature revealed a lack of consensus regarding terminology, as this entity is variously referred to as spindle-cell carcinoma, sarcomatoid carcinoma, metaplastic carcinoma, and
pseudosarcoma.
Pseudosarcoma of the larynx: a comprehensive analysis.
1) This tumor has also been referred to as carcinosarcoma,
pseudosarcoma, spindle cell carcinoma, and polypoid carcinoma.
