Sarcoma Polymorphic Cell

Polymorphocellular sarcoma (s. polymorphocellulare) is a malignant soft tissue tumor consisting of cells of various shapes and sizes.

This type of sarcoma is characterized by the presence of cells of varying degrees of differentiation - from small round to large epithelioid and giant. The tumor may contain areas of pleomorphic sarcoma, cartilage and bone tissue.

Polymorphic cell sarcoma is most often localized in the soft tissues of the extremities, less often in the retroperitoneal space and retroperitoneal tissue. Clinically manifested by rapid growth of the tumor node.

For diagnosis, histological examination is used. Treatment involves surgical removal of the tumor combined with radiation and chemotherapy. The prognosis is unfavorable due to the high tendency to metastasize.

Polymorphic cell sarcoma is a malignant tumor from the stroma of organs and tissues of polymorphic (i.e. heterogeneous, diverse) origin: bones, gums, conjunctiva and other organs. It belongs to the macrophage system and is a continuation of normal hematopoiesis. Develops from polymorphonuclear leukocytes (nuclear forms of mononuclear cells - these are all blood cells without lymphoid and erythroid).
