Under the light microscope
in classic cases of the soft tissue cancerous tumor fibrosarcoma, the cells are
arranged like the way the branching spines of a herring skeleton are arranged –
herringbone architecture.
An
architecture in which a column of cells resembling one herring skeleton is
oriented one way and another separate cell column again resembling the skeleton
is disposed in a different direction. Under the microscope there can be several
such columns.
Fibrosarcoma is a rare cancer
typically afflicting adults and can be treated with surgery, radiation or chemotherapy.
The soft tissues are those which support, connect or surround the body’s other structures.
