Eleven ACD-RCCs, 10 ACD-RCC-like cysts, and 18 background kidneys were retrieved. The background kidneys consisted of atrophic thyroid follicle-like tubules.

Subsequently, a custom DNA panel was designed to include the recurrent <em>KMT2C</em> and <em>TSC2</em> variants based on the sequencing results. Second, DNA-targeted sequencing was performed on the remaining samples using a custom panel targeting the recurrent variants. Additionally, immunohistochemistry was performed for KMTC, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, TSC2, and GPNMB on the ACD-RCCs. Six of the 11 ACD-RCC cases harbored <em>KMT2C</em> and <em>TSC2</em> variants, including nine likely pathogenic variants.

The two main signaling pathway abnormalities in CM are the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and the phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Other less common types include mucosal melanomas (MM) and uveal melanoma (UM), which have a significantly different genomic landscape. Although few studies reported rare cases with HPV-positive (HPV+) melanoma, the clinicopathological and molecular characteristic of this entity has not been well-described. Among the 2084 melanoma cases queried at our institution, we identified seven patients diagnosed with HPV+ melanoma (prevalence 0.03 %), including five instances of CM and two of MM. The majority of cases were positive for HPV16 (<em>n</em> = 6). Most of the patients were elderly and with advanced disease (n = 6), although this finding may be attributed to the relative frequency of our institution testing advanced-stage tumors. Histologically, most cases showed high degree of pleomorphism and high mitotic count (5 or more mitoses/mm<sup>2</sup>) (<em>n</em> = 6). UVR signature was present in the CM, but not in the MM cases. Alterations in either MAPK and/or PI3K pathways were detected in the majority of cases (<em>n</em> = 6). The most common genetic abnormalities detected in this study occurred in the <em>TERT</em> promoter (<em>TERT</em>p) (<em>n</em> = 5), a finding that has been reported to be associated with aggressive disease.

While radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) remains the cornerstone treatment, UTUC has high local and metastatic relapse rates, leading to a dismal prognosis. To identify the clinicopathological factors associated with an increased risk of local and metastatic relapse in UTUC, we conducted a retrospective analysis of 133 consecutive UTUC patients who underwent RNU from 1998 to 2018. Patients lost to follow-up or with a history of bladder cancer were excluded from the study. The remaining 87 patients were categorized into two subgroups: those with tumor recurrence/relapse (40 cases) and those without recurrence/relapse (47 cases). Clinical and pathological characteristics were compared across the two groups. Multiple factors are associated with UTUC recurrence/relapse including larger tumor size, histology divergent differentiations/subtypes, high tumor grade, advanced pathologic T stage, positive margin, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), positive lymph node status, and preoperative hydronephrosis. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that squamous differentiation predicted recurrence/relapse (<em>p</em> = 0.012), independent of tumor stage. Moreover, compared to the conventional histology type, UTUC with squamous differentiation had a significantly higher relapse rate (<em>p</em> = 0.0001) and poorer survival (<em>p</em> = 0.0039). This observation was further validated in invasive high-grade UTUC cases. Our findings suggest that many pathological factors contribute to UTUC recurrence/relapse, particularly, squamous differentiation may serve as an independent risk predictor for relapse and a potent prognosticator for adverse cancer-specific survival in UTUC patients. Recognizing and thoroughly assessing the pathological factors is essential for better oncologic management of UTUC.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50768,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Diagnostic Pathology","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 152357"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141472225","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Olfactory neuroblastomas arise in the nasal cavity while sympathetic neuroblastomas are present mainly in the adrenal and periadrenal regions. These neoplasms have overlapping histopathological features. Rare cases of sympathetic neuroblastomas metastatic to the nasal cavity have been reported.
