Slides 4A-C Biopsy of Retroperitoneal Mass

This is a biopsy of a retroperitoneal mass from a 32-year-old female who presented with fevers, night sweats, and weight loss. No peripheral lymphadenopathy was apparent on physical exam.

Laboratory tests and chest X-ray were unremarkable.

Discussion:

1. What architectural changes are present?
2. What cell size predominates?
3. Can you find mitotic figures? What do mitoses indicate?
4. What is your diagnosis?
5. What treatment modalities (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy) would be considered for this patient?
