Multidisciplinary Management of Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Figure 3
(a) Pre-operative axial T1 post-contrast MRI demonstrating a large, deep, soft tissue sarcoma contained within the deltoid musculature, and (b) the core needle biopsy specimen (Frozen Section, H&E, 20x) demonstrating high-grade undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. (c) The same tumor on a restaging axial T1 MRI after pre-operative radiation demonstrating a thick fibrous rind. Also evident is that the tumor has grown slightly with radiation. (d) Histopathologic slide (H&E, 20x) from the resection specimen demonstrating substantial treatment effect from the radiation.
