Whether claudin-18 can be used as a marker for identifying the primary site of cancer is still unclear. In this study, we used the immunohistochemical method to stain claudin-18 in tissue arrays containing 575 carcinomas from different anatomic sites and representative sections of 157 metastatic adenocarcinomas. In the group of primary tumors, claudin-18 was frequently expressed in gastric, pancreatic, and pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinomas. Half of cholangiocarcinomas and ovarian mucinous carcinomas and some colorectal and pulmonary adenocarcinomas were also positive for claudin-18. In the metastatic cohort, 15 of 17 (88%) gastric adenocarcinomas, 18 of 23 (78%) pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and 4 of 7 (57%) cholangiocarcinomas and gallbladder adenocarcinomas were positive for claudin-18. Only 4 tumors that originated outside the stomach and pancreatobiliary tract were positive for claudin-18.

Using the surgical samples of 141 pulmonary NE tumors (78 SCLCs, 44 large cell NE carcinomas, and 19 carcinoids), and 246 non-NE carcinomas, we examined the immunohistochemical expression and prognostic relevance of INSM1 in association with NE phenotype markers.

One hundred three cases of uterine carcinosarcomas with available MMR IHC results were identified. Ninety-nine cases (96%) showed intact expression and 4 cases (4%) showed loss of MLH1/PMS2. All MMRd carcinosarcomas identified in this series had an endometrioid carcinomatous component and wild-type p53 expression. In contrast, the majority of MMR intact carcinosarcomas had a serous morphology and aberrant p53 expression. Three additional cases initially diagnosed as carcinosarcoma also revealed MMRd; however, given the lack of clear mesenchymal differentiation, these cases were reclassified as dedifferentiated endometrial carcinomas and were subsequently excluded from the carcinosarcoma category. No cases of Lynch syndrome were identified among carcinosarcoma patients, as all 4 MMRd cases were due to somatic MLH1 hypermethylation. In summary, we found that the rate of MMRd is markedly lower in uterine carcinosarcoma when compared with endometrial carcinoma. In the setting of MMR loss, a diagnosis of dedifferentiated carcinoma should be considered as almost half of the MMRd tumors which were called carcinosarcomas initially were reclassified as dedifferentiated on review.

The significance of discordant extramedullary plasmablastic transformation in patients with small, mature clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow has not been well studied. Here, we report the clinicopathologic, cytogenetic, and molecular features of 10 such patients (male/female: 6/4, median age: 65 y, range: 48 to 76 y) with an established diagnosis of multiple myeloma in the bone marrow composed of small, mature plasma cells in parallel with a concurrent or subsequent extramedullary plasmablastic transformation. Eight patients with available survival data showed an overall aggressive clinical course with a median survival of 4.5 months after the diagnosis of extramedullary plasmablastic transformation, despite aggressive treatment and even in patients with low-level bone marrow involvement. Pathologically, the extramedullary plasmablastic myeloma were clonally related to the corresponding bone marrow plasma cells, showed high levels of CMYC and/or P53 expression with a high Ki-67 proliferation index by immunohistochemistry and harbored more complex genomic aberrations including frequent mutations in the RAS pathway and MYC rearrangements compared with their bone marrow counterparts. In summary, although genetic and immunohistochemical studies were not uniformly performed on all cases due to the retrospective nature of this study, our data suggest that discordant extramedullary plasmablastic transformation of multiple myeloma has an aggressive clinical course and is characterized by frequent mutations in the RAS pathway and more complex genomic abnormalities.</p>","PeriodicalId":275221,"journal":{"name":"The American Journal of Surgical Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"838-848"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/PAS.0000000000001459","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37695257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

H3F3A gene mutations producing mutant histone protein product H3.3 have been identified in 96% of GCT; mutant H3.3 is reliably demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. GCT may contain woven bone and rarely, neoplastic cartilage nodules which causes diagnostic challenges with aggressive neoplasms such as osteosarcoma. We describe the features of GCT with cartilage matrix and report the next-generation sequencing findings in a subset of tumors. Seventeen cases of GCT with cartilage matrix form the cohort: 7 males and 10 females, 13 to 55 (mean: 25) years old. Tumors involved the fibula (6), femur (6), and patella, tibia, humerus, S1, and scapula (1 case each). Tumors were radiolucent, circumscribed, lytic, and expansile. All contained classic GCT, foci of cartilage matrix, and trabeculae of woven bone. Immunohistochemistry showed diffuse staining for H3.3 in 9/9 cases and 1 case was positive for S100 and SOX9 in the cartilage areas. Next-generation sequencing showed a mutation in the H3F3A gene in 6/6 cases. On follow-up, 2 patients who underwent resection showed no disease after 12, and 7 months, respectively. Three patients had recurrences 10, 12, and 27 months after curettage; there were no metastases. GCT with cartilage matrix is uncommon. The cartilage matrix is associated with woven bone suggesting the neoplastic cells may differentiate into chondrocyte-like and osteoblast-like cells. Recognition of this neoplasm is important to prevent misdiagnosis and overtreatment of affected patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":275221,"journal":{"name":"The American Journal of Surgical Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"748-756"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1097/PAS.0000000000001446","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37939094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
