Abstract

|
Soft tissue tumor classifications should be an important part of radiology, oncology and, for clinicians and pathologists, they provide diagnostic instruction and prognostic guidelines. In soft tissue tumor classification systems, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifications have become dominant, enabled by the timely publication of new ‘blue books’ which included detailed text and numerous good illustrations. The new WHO classification of soft tissue tumors was introduced in 2002. Because the classification represents a broad consensus concept, it has gained widespread acceptance around the globe. This article reviews the changes which were introduced the adipose tumors, fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors, so-called fibrohistiocytic tumors, smooth muscle tumors, pericytic tumors and skeletal muscle tumors which have been first recognized or properly classified during the past decade.
