The Classification of Soft Tissue Tumors: Historical Aspects and Recent Advances
摘要
The classification of soft tissue tumors has evolved significantly over the past 50 years. This chapter explores why and how these changes have occurred, using hemangiopericytoma, fibrosarcoma, and liposarcoma as examples of how conceptual changes, recognition of new, clinically significant entities, and advances in molecular genetics have impacted our classification of these rare tumors.
