High grade tumour with osteoclast-like giant cells. IHC needed here, could be poorly differentiated sarcomatoid SCC in view of the history, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma with osteoclast component is also in the differential. 

I agree would also include AFX here. Needs some CPC and correlation with imaging.

Seems to be high grade malignant neoplasm rich in vasculature. I would keep a differential of epithelioid angiosarcoma, metastasis such as renal cell carcinoma. Needs IHC markers. Yes, AFX also in differential
