Clinicopathologic Features and Clinical Outcome in Secondary Histiocytic Sarcomas, an Institutional Experience

Abstract

Histiocytic sarcomas (HS) are rare, often presenting with undifferentiated morphology and phenotype, resulting in poor diagnostic yield. Once diagnosed, clinical treatments lead to indeterminate outcomes. This institutional experience explores clinicopathologic features of de novo and secondary HS. A retrospective study was conducted following Institutional Board Review. Clinical, histopathologic, and immunophenotypic data were collected from patients diagnosed and treated at University of Alabama at Birmingham from 2004 to 2016.
