28. Benign vs Malignant Tumor Characteristics Benign Malignant Morphology and Differentiation Well-differentiated appearance Structure similar to tissue origin Little or no anaplasia Usually some lack of differentiation Structure often atypical Variable degree of anaplasia Rate and pattern of growth Slow, progressive expansion Rare mitotic figures Normal-appearing mitotic figures Slow to rapid growth; erratic growth rate Mitotic figures often numerous Mitotic figures sometimes abnormal Local invasion No Invasion Cohesive and expansile growth Capsule often present Local Invasion Infiltrative growth Usually no capsule Metastasis No metastasis Frequent metastasis (definitive criteria for malignancy) Damage to human body Relatively smaller Relatively bigger Prognosis Good Bad
37. Staging of Malignant Neoplasms Stage Definition Tis In situ, non-invasive (confined to epithelium) T1 Small, minimally invasive within primary organ site T2 Larger, more invasive within the primary organ site T3 Larger and/or invasive beyond margins of primary organ site T4 Very large and/or very invasive, spread to adjacent organs N0 No lymph node involvement N1 Regional lymph node involvement N2 Extensive regional lymph node involvement N3 More distant lymph node involvement M0 No distant metastases M1 Distant metastases present

69. Specific Cytogenetic Abnormalities Determined in Tumors Tumor type Chromosomal changes Genes involved or fusion genes Follicular lymphoma t(14;18)(q32;q21) JH/Bcl-2 Mantle cell lymphoma t(11;14)(q13;q32) JH/Bcl-1 Synovial sarcoma t(X;18)(p11;q11) SYT-SSX1 Ewing ’ s sarcoma t(11,22)(q24;12) EWS-FL11 Follicular carcinoma t(2;3)(q13;p25) PAX 8 -PPAR γ
70. Cytogenetic investigations - Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) - Identify chromosome rearrangement detecting specific DNA sequences with fluorescently labeled probe
71. Cytogenetic Changes of Lymphoma Determined by FISH FL diagnosed by FISH: IGH/BCL2 t(14;18)(q32;q21) MCL diagnosed by FISH: IGH/CCND1 t(11;14)(q13;q32)
