Sarcoma is a kind of tumor. There are many types of sarcomas. So it is very difficult for physicians to classify types of sarcomas and benign tumor or malignant tumor precisely, except for physicians who specialize in sarcomas. For example, dermatofibroma (benign tumor) and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (malignant tumor) are non-epithelial skin tumors which need to be distinguished. In this research, first of all, segmentation of cell nuclear regions whose features are general points of pathologic diagnosis is considered. And from some features computed from the segmented nucleus regions, an automated classification of benign tumor or malignant tumor is finally operated.
