基于纳米材料的肿瘤消融联合免疫治疗研究进展

影像学引导消融治疗已逐渐成为治疗不可切除实体肿瘤的重要方式,但消融治疗后存在肿瘤局部复发及全身转移风险。免疫治疗可通过增强机体自身免疫细胞功能间接清除肿瘤细胞,但多数实体肿瘤对免疫治疗的反应率较低。近年来,基于纳米材料的肿瘤消融技术发展迅速,为增强局部消融效果及提高系统免疫应答提供了新的可能。本文对基于纳米材料的消融联合免疫治疗肿瘤研究进展进行综述。

Salivary Intraductal Carcinoma Arising within Intraparotid Lymph Node: A Report of 4 Cases with Identification of a Novel STRN-ALK Fusion

Intraductal carcinoma (IDC) is a rare salivary gland tumor that is considered analogous to ductal carcinoma in-situ of the breast, demonstrating a complex neoplastic epithelial proliferation surrounded by a continuous layer of presumed non-neoplastic myoepithelial cells. It is subcategorized into intercalated duct, apocrine, and hybrid subtypes based on morphologic and immunohistochemical features, with frequent NCOA4-RET and TRIM27-RET fusions, respectively, seen in intercalated duct and hybrid tumors. However, as an expanding clinicopathologic spectrum of IDC has been documented, controversy has emerged as to whether this tumor type is best defined by its intraductal growth pattern or distinctive molecular and immunophenotypic differentiation. Here, we further explore the nature of IDC by evaluating four cases that arose within intraparotid lymph nodes. These intercalated-duct phenotype tumors with diffuse S100 protein expression demonstrated a crowded and complex epithelial proliferation arranged in cystic, cribriform, and micropapillary architecture, surrounded by an intact myoepithelial cell layer, and were completely intranodal. Of two tumors with tissue available for molecular analysis, one demonstrated a NCOA4-RET fusion and one harbored a STRN-ALK fusion that is novel to IDC. Not only does the intranodal presence of IDC present a challenging differential diagnosis, but the complex nature of this proliferation within lymph node tissue raises questions as to whether the myoepithelial component of IDC is actually non-neoplastic in nature. Furthermore, identification of a STRN-ALK fusion expands the genetic spectrum of IDC and adds to evidence of an emerging role for ALK in salivary gland tumors. Further attention to the nature of the myoepithelial cells and documentation of alternate fusion events in IDC may inform continued discussion about its appropriate classification.     

YAP1-MAML2-Rearranged Poroid Squamous Cell Carcinoma (Squamoid Porocarcinoma) Presenting as a Primary Parotid Gland Tumor

Porocarcinoma (synonym: malignant eccrine poroma) is a rare aggressive carcinoma type with terminal sweat gland duct differentiation. The squamous variant of porocarcinoma is even less frequent and might be indistinguishable from conventional squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We herein describe the first case of a carcinoma presenting as a primary parotid gland malignancy in a 24-year-old male without any other primary tumor. Total parotidectomy and neck dissection were performed followed by adjuvant chemoradiation. The patient remained alive and well 10 months after diagnosis. Histology showed keratinizing SCC infiltrating extensively the parotid gland with subtle poroid cell features. Oncogenic HPV infection was excluded by DNA-based testing. NGS analysis using the TruSight RNA fusion panel (Illumina) revealed a novel YAP1-MAML2 gene fusion. This gene fusion was reported recently in a subset of cutaneous porocarcinoma and poroma. This case of poroid SCC (or squamoid porocarcinoma) adds to the differential diagnosis of SCC presenting as parotid gland tumor and highlights the value of molecular testing in cases with unusual presentation.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s12105-020-01181-9) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.     

Expanding Awareness of the Distribution and Biologic Potential of Ectomesenchymal Chondromyxoid Tumor

Ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor is a rare neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis that typically occurs in the anterior dorsal tongue. Recent reports in the literature have described rare examples of gingival, palatal and tonsillar lesions. Histologically, ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumors are typically well-circumscribed, lacking overtly aggressive features. Herein we report a tumor arising in the right mandible that is morphologically and molecularly consistent with ectomesenchymal chondromyxoid tumor. This case furthers awareness of the extra-glossal distribution of this neoplasm; moreover, it suggests that a subset of these tumors have the potential for locally aggressive behaviour.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s12105-020-01169-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.     

Giant hepatic extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor treated with cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant systemic therapy: A case report and review of literature

BACKGROUNDPrimary extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors (E-GIST) of the liver are rare. The clinical presentation may range from asymptomatic to bleeding or manifestations of mass effect. Oncologic surgery followed by adjuvant therapy with imatinib is the standard of care. However, under specific circumstances, a cytoreductive approach may represent a therapeutic option. We describe herein the case of an 84-year-old woman who presented with a tender, protruding epigastric mass. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a large, heterogeneous mass located across segments III, IV, V, and VIII of the liver. The initial approach was transarterial embolization of the tumor, which elicited no appreciable response. Considering the large size and central location of the tumor and the advanced age of the patient, non-anatomic complete resection was indicated. Due to substantial intraoperative bleeding and hemodynamic instability, only a near-complete resection could be achieved. Histopathology and immunohistochemical staining confirmed the diagnosis of primary E-GIST of the liver. Considering the risk/benefit ratio for therapeutic options, debulking surgery may represent a strategy to control pain and prolong survival.CASE SUMMARYHere, we present a case report of a patient diagnosed with E-GIST primary of the liver, which was indicated a cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant therapy with imatinib.CONCLUSIONE-GIST primary of the liver is a rare conditional, the treatment is with systemic therapy and total resection surgery. However, a cytoreductive surgery will be necessary when a complete resection is no possible.
