[Pattern of lymphogenic metastasizing of soft tissue malignant tumors]. 1979

V A Trishkin, and V I Stolyarov, and O N Volkov

The examination performed indicated metastases in regional lymph nodes in 34 (7.5%) of 453 patients with soft tissue malignancies. The presence of metastases aggravates considerably the prognosis: a 5-year survival was 6.6%. Great risk of metastatic proliferation is especially characteristic of rhabdomyosarcoma, non-classifiable blastoma and synovial sarcoma. Primary tumors develop metastases more frequently than recurrent ones. The probability of lymphogenic spread of metastases is the higher the larger the tumor size in young individuals, and also with skin involvement. Tumor infiltration of bones does not result in an increased percentage of lymphogenic metastasization. The proximity of a tumor to regional lymph nodes is not inherent in a higher risk of their metastatic involvement.

D012208	Rhabdomyosarcoma	A malignant solid tumor arising from mesenchymal tissues which normally differentiate to form striated muscle. It can occur in a wide variety of sites. It is divided into four distinct types: pleomorphic, predominantly in male adults; alveolar (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, ALVEOLAR), mainly in adolescents and young adults; embryonal (RHABDOMYOSARCOMA, EMBRYONAL), predominantly in infants and children; and botryoidal, also in young children. It is one of the most frequently occurring soft tissue sarcomas and the most common in children under 15.

D012983	Soft Tissue Neoplasms	Neoplasms of whatever cell type or origin, occurring in the extraskeletal connective tissue framework of the body including the organs of locomotion and their various component structures, such as nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, etc.	Neoplasm, Soft Tissue,Neoplasms, Soft Tissue,Soft Tissue Neoplasm
D013584	Sarcoma, Synovial	A malignant neoplasm arising from tenosynovial tissue of the joints and in synovial cells of tendons and bursae. The legs are the most common site, but the tumor can occur in the abdominal wall and other trunk muscles. There are two recognized types: the monophasic (characterized by sheaths of monotonous spindle cells) and the biphasic (characterized by slit-like spaces or clefts within the tumor, lined by cuboidal or tall columnar epithelial cells). These sarcomas occur most commonly in the second and fourth decades of life.
