So the tumor is completely encased in the muscle, not contiguous with the compact bone.
1. #Breastpath Hey all, myofibroblastomas are really sweet. Let’s learn about them. @ADamronMD @TheKarenPinto @KRoSlideReview @Chucktowndoc @jennpincus @LizaMQuintana @drkennethtang @dr_MPrieto
2. Clinical: Uncommon tumors. Well circumscribed, may slowly enlarge over time. Size usu. up to 4cm. Historically (and on boards/RISE exams presently)more common in men, but now seem to occur equally in men and women.

So…
▪️Why is this distinction difficult❓🤔
Because...
- Location is unknown
- Architecture not appreciated
- Age unknown
▪️Solution❓
- Radiology is 🔑
(closest thing to gross
specimen is the black/
white ‘negative’ image!)

Rhabdomyosarcoma is indeed the top-level diagnosis... but more importantly, what type??
Note: several H&E patterns here that correspond nicely to the patterns on cytology.

Note the multiple patterns here - and see how they relate to myogenin staining.
This is an uncommon example of mixed-histology rhabdomyosarcoma.
Classic Embryonal - variable myogenin
Dense Emb/Solid Alveolar - strong, diffuse myogenin
Sclerosing - Weak/absent myogenin

Last night I posted this lovely gross picture; I’m now adding a couple of histologic images. Kudos to @kriyer68 and @DrAldehyde for being the first to submit the correct answer- this is indeed a synovial sarcoma! Not a bad time for a #Tweetorial #BSTPath
Synovial sarcoma is actually uncommon in joint cavities & does not recapitulate synovium in any way. Its rare amongst soft tissue sarcomas, representing only 5-10% of the cases. The disease is most prevalent in teenagers & young adults; 50% of cases are seen in pediatric patients
These most commonly present as pain in the affected site with an associated mass. In many cases the duration of symptoms is 2-5 years. They are seen most commonly in the extremities and are often associated with tendons. #BSTPath

It had great tips, like this one: ALWAYS include a picture of yourself on your profile. He’s right: please do it NOW! It’s essential. Just use a selfie 😊
