The clinical, histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular genetic features were reviewed, along with related literature. <b>Results:</b> All the 11 patients were males with ages ranging from 54 to 77 years (median 64 years). Nine patients were smokers and two had an unknown smoking history. Most of them complained of cough and dyspnea with pleural effusion. The primary tumor sites included lung (9 cases), thoracic wall (1 case), and mediastinum (1 case), while 3 patients had a history of lung surgery. Histologically, tumor cells were large and pleomorphic, with increased nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio. They also showed round nuclei, conspicuous nucleoli, and basophilic cytoplasm in serous effusion. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells in all cases were negative for SMARCA4/BRG1, CKpan and CK7, but positive for SMARCB1/INI1. Some of the cases were positive for CD34 (7/11), synaptophysin (4/11) and SALL4 (2/11). Histologically, monotonous tumor cells formed solid sheets or anastomosing islands with poor cell adhesion and rhabdoid morphology. Brisk mitotic figures were accompanied by large areas of necrosis. Some cases focally exhibited syncytia, and some had bright cytoplasm and vesicular chromatin. The immunohistochemical profiles in the tumor tissues were consistent with those of cytology. Six cases were negative for PD-L1 (22c3). Among the 6 cases analyzed by targeted next generation sequencing, concurrent SMARCA4 and TP53 mutations were detected in all 6 cases. Some of the 6 tumors showed mutations of STK11, CDKN2A, and MET, and amplification of ERBB2, exon deletion of BRCA2, etc. Follow-up information was available in all cases and ranged from 2 to 24 months. The patients showed metastases to various sites, including lymph node, liver, kidney, adrenal gland, brain, bone and other sites. Four patients died of the tumor. The survival time of 4 patients who underwent radical resection or radiofrequency ablation was more than 13 months. <b>Conclusions:</b> SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma is a rare but highly aggressive tumor with dismal prognosis and rhabdomyoid features. It is difficult to diagnose this disease using only serous effusion samples. This tumor thus warrants careful consideration. Accurate diagnosis can greatly improve early diagnosis and treatment of these tumors.</p>","PeriodicalId":35997,"journal":{"name":"中华病理学杂志","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139571779","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}

The morphology and immunophenotype were analyzed. The related literature was reviewed. <b>Results:</b> There were 2 females and 3 males, aged from 53 to 73 years, with a median age of 65 years. The tumors were located in the lower extremities, right cerebellar hemisphere, left kidney, bilateral nasal cavity, and liver, respectively.

All cases expressed C-MYC (positive rate was 10%-40%). PD-L1 was positive in 4 cases (positive rate was 60%-90%). Ki-67 proliferation index was 70%-90%. CKpan, CD3, TDT, and CD34 were negative. In case 2, meningioma cells were positive for PR, EMA, and vimentin, but negative for CKpan and PD-L1.

The cases were all subject to FISH or next generation sequencing for analysis of molecular genetic features. The literature was reviewed. <b>Results:</b> There were 5 males and 9 females, with the age at presentation ranging from 6 to 36 years (mean, 22 years). Tumors occurred in the head and neck (9 cases), pelvic region (2 cases), bladder (one case), right humerus (one case), and the abdominal wall, humerus and pubic at the same time (one case). Presenting symptoms varied by location but often included pain or discomfort. Most of the patients showed aggressive radiographic features with soft tissue extension. The tumors had a median size of 6.6 cm (range, 2-23 cm). The tumors were poorly defined and irregularly shaped. Microscopic examination showed diffuse proliferation of spindle or epithelioid cells. While morphologically high-grade tumors displayed obvious cytological atypia, a high mitotic count and tumor necrosis, low-grade tumors grew in sheets and fascicles composed of spindle, epithelioid cells with moderate or abundant amounts of eosinophilic cytoplasm, without pronounced cytological atypia. The tumor cells expressed Desmin, MyoD1, and Myogenin, as well as ALK, EMA, and CKpan. EWSR1/FUS-TFCP2 gene fusion was detected in 14 cases with next generation sequencing and confirmed by FISH. Six cases had EWSR1-TFCP2 fusions and 8 cases showed FUS-TFCP2 fusions. Follow-up information was available in 13 patients, ranged from 5 to 37 months.

The clinicopathological data, follow-up records, and subsequent treatment were reviewed and analyzed statistically. <b>Results:</b> There were 79 males and 40 females. The patients ranged in age from 25 to 80 years, with a median age of 60 years. Among them, 115 patients were followed up for 1-154 months, and 13 patients progressed to disease. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were 90.1% and 94.1%, respectively. According to the modified NIH risk stratification, 8 cases, 32 cases, 38 cases, and 35 cases were very-low risk, low risk, intermediate risk, and high risk, and 5-year DFS were 100.0%, 95.6%, 94.3%, and 80.5%, respectively.
