Protocolo de estudio y estandarización del informe patológico de los tumores de partes blandas malignos y de comportamiento intermedio de adolescentes y adultos

Soft tissue sarcomas are infrequent neoplasms that include a wide variety of histological types. They may present in any location and show a great morphological heterogeneity; indeed, they may have similar characteristics to tumours with diverse clinical and biological behaviour, making their diagnosis difficult. Thus, guidelines are required in order to unify the information, terminology and classification from different diagnostic centres. Several members of the SEAP Soft Tissue Pathology Club have created a document based on protocols from other scientific societies and on an updated review of the literature. The protocol includes the different phases of the study of soft tissue sarcomas in the pathology department and aims to define the data that should be included in the final pathology reports.
