It often presents with overlapping clinical features with other vascular anomalies, such as fibroadipose vascular anomaly (FAVA). While both conditions are characterized by intramuscular vascular anomalies, their underlying genetic mutations and histopathological features are distinct. This study aims to elucidate the genetic and clinicopathological characteristics of PHOST, and to compare it with FAVA, highlighting critical diagnostic features. We retrospectively reviewed all cases that underwent surgical treatment in our pathology database from 2021 to 2024 and selected 28 cases with complex vascular malformations, all of which tested negative for PIK3CA mutations by fluorescent quantitative PCR (qPCR). Subsequently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on these 28 cases to evaluate their mutation profiles. Comprehensive clinicopathological evaluations, including imaging, were conducted. Treatment outcomes and recurrence rates were analyzed during long-term follow-up. The histological and genetic findings were compared between PHOST and FAVA cases. PHOST typically presents with vascular nodules in a fibrous and adipocytic background. It features numerous small vessels resembling arteries and veins, along with indeterminate channels. The presence of larger vessels with arterial-to-venous transitions and thick-walled muscular vessels suggests arteriovenous shunting, a feature absent in FAVA. Unlike PHOST, FAVA cases predominantly harbored PIK3CA mutations and exhibited localized, low-flow vascular anomalies. Detecting PTEN gene mutations in complex vascular malformations is crucial for the accurate diagnosis of PHOST. This study underscores the importance of genetic testing and tailored therapeutic approaches for these rare vascular anomalies.</p>","PeriodicalId":23514,"journal":{"name":"Virchows Archiv","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145151041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immune-related genes were investigated using the nCounter® PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel in separate ATC and PTC components of 12 cases, and in PDTC component only of nine additional cases associated with PTC. Global miRNAs profiling was also analyzed separately in ATC and PTC components of 8 out of the 12 cases. Comparative analysis between ATC and matched PTC components revealed largely stable gene expression patterns, with only a few genes deregulated. Of these, five genes (MAP3K1, PRKCD, CYFIP2, BLNK, and EPCAM) were downregulated, while six (RIPK2, ITGB1, CCL3L1, ITGA5, PLAUR, and TICAM2) were upregulated in ATC. Furthermore, 54 miRNAs were significantly upregulated in ATC, as compared to PTC components. One of the most regulated pathways was the MAPK signaling, with six of these deregulated miRNAs targeting the MAP3K1 gene. Comparing ATC and PDTC, over 200 genes were differentially expressed between PDTC and ATC samples, involving all major immune-related pathways, with a consistent downregulation in PDTC. In conclusion, ATC displays high levels of expression of immunoregulatory genes as compared to PDTC.

{"title":"Can Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma be Reliably Excluded Based on Mitotic Rate? Prognostic and Diagnostic Implications of Mitotic Activity in Liposarcoma.","authors":"Jieun Lee, Seyoung Moon, Hyun Jung Kwon, Gheeyoung Choe, Kyu Sang Lee","doi":"10.1007/s00428-025-04235-x","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s00428-025-04235-x","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Distinguishing well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS) from dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) is challenging, particularly when the low-grade (LG) sarcoma component does not meet the histopathological criteria for typical DDLPS. Previous studies have suggested that the diagnosis of DDLPS requires at least five mitotic figures per 10 high-power fields (≥ 5/10 HPF). This study aimed to validate the prognostic and diagnostic significance of the mitotic rate in LPS. We retrospectively reviewed 238 cases of WDLPS and DDLPS from our institution and assessed the prognostic value of the mitotic rate, MDM2/CEP12 amplification ratio, and Ki-67 proliferation index. Digital pathology and automated image analysis were used to obtain precise mitotic counts and minimise inter-observer variability. Among 238 patients, 165 had WDLPS, 26 had LG DDLPS, and 47 had DDLPS. LG DDLPS was reclassified when intermediate histological features were observed along with a mitotic rate < 5/10 HPF. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was significantly worse in LG DDLPS than in WDLPS (P = 0.012) but better than in DDLPS (P = 0.001). Notably, lung metastasis occurred in two (7.7%) of the 26 LG DDLPS cases. The MDM2 amplification ratio progressively increased from WDLPS to DDLPS, whereas the Ki-67 expression level was not significantly associated with prognosis. This study demonstrated that the mitotic rate is a crucial diagnostic and prognostic marker in LPS. LG DDLPS exhibits more aggressive behaviour than WDLPS. Our results suggest that LG DDLPS should not be underestimated or classified as WDLPS based solely on mitotic rate.</p>","PeriodicalId":23514,"journal":{"name":"Virchows Archiv","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145055997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
