hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor
Definition: Hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor is an extremely rare, nonencapsulated, fatty lesion with a consistent histologic appearance that was originally considered reactive in nature.
Cytogenetics
reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 1 and 10, with a further rearrangement involving this derivative chromosome 1 and chromosome 3 (#18406878#)
- t(1;10)(p22;q24)
- der(10)t(1;10)
aberrations of chromosome 3
Some soft tissue tumors can show hybrid morphologic features of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma and hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor with a der(10)t(1;10), and abnormalities of chromosome 3. These hybrid lesions provide further evidence for a close relationship between these 2 tumor types. Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma and hemosiderotic fibrolipomatous tumor are both rare, slow-growing soft tissue tumors of the distal extremities with recurrent potential. (#20871391#)
