An autopsy case of aortic sarcoma who died of acute myocardial infarction caused by coronary involvement is reported. The patient was a 54 year old woman who was admitted because of an undiagnosed fever and general fatigue of 6 months duration. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a tumor in the aortic arch. Total aortic arch replacement was performed, it was diagnosed as a malignant mesenchymal tumor of the aorta. The patient died of acute myocardial infarction 10 months after the operation. At autopsy, the tumor had invaded the luminal surface and intima of the proximal anastomosis (the remnant ascending aorta and the graft), the aortic valves, the distal anastomosis (surgical line of the thoracic aorta plus the graft), and the coronary arteries. The left main coronary artery showed complete obstruction by fibrin thrombus with tumor invasion in the intima, which was responsible for acute myocardial infarction. Primitive and bizarre tumor cells proliferated with many slit-like tissue spaces. Most of the tumor except for its luminal surface showed necrosis. Ultrastructurally, there were spaces between tumor cells, suggesting lumen formation, and some of them had microvilli. This sarcoma was considered to be the so-called aortic intimal sarcoma. 相似文献

Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma is a rare aggressive intraluminal tumor often misdiagnosed as acute or chronic pulmonary thromboembolism due to its clinical presentation and radiological findings. Thus early diagnosis is very crucial and may improve patient outcome. There is limited literature on diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA). Herein, we report a case of mass‐like lesion in the PA diagnosed on cytological material obtained by EBUS‐TBNA with rapid on‐site evaluation (ROSE). The aspirate showed pleomorphic malignant spindled cells arranged in loosely cohesive clusters. The intraluminal origin of PAIS was supported by radiographic findings. Subsequently, the patient received preoperative chemotherapy and underwent tumor resection with reconstruction. This report describes the cytomorphologic features of this rare intravascular tumor and demonstrates how limited cytological sample obtained from EBUS‐TBNA with ROSE can be triaged efficiently for ancillary studies like immunohistochemistry and MDM2 amplification, thus expediting the management. 相似文献

Vasuri F, Resta L, Fittipaldi S, Malvi D & Pasquinelli G (2012) Histopathology 61, 737–743 RUNX‐1 and CD44 as markers of resident stem cell derivation in undifferentiated intimal sarcoma of pulmonary artery Aims: To report a rare case of undifferentiated intimal sarcoma (UIS) of the pulmonary artery in a 44‐year‐old woman, and to study it by electron microscopy and a novel immunohistochemical (IHC) panel that recognizes markers of endothelial and haematopoietic stemness, in order to extend current knowledge about the histogenesis of this rare neoplasm. Methods and results: Immunohistochemical reactions for CD31, CD34, α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), caldesmon, calponin, actin, desmin, epithelial membrane antigen, WT1, CD117, Ki67, nestin, RUNX‐1, platelet‐derived growth factor, NG2, CD44, CD90 and CD105 were performed manually or automatically. Neoplastic cells were negative for CD31 and CD34, but positive for calponin, nestin, WT1, CD44, and RUNX‐1. Electron microscopy was performed after osmium tetroxide fixation and staining with lead citrate and uranyl acetate. Ultrastructurally, tumour cells had slightly irregular nuclei, cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum, and punctate intercellular junctions. Conclusions: We report a case of pulmonary artery UIS expressing previously unreported markers, i.e. RUNX‐1, nestin, WT1, and CD44, that are commonly seen in different stages of the vascular differentiation hierarchy. These findings, together with the negativity for mature endothelial and smooth muscle markers, raise the question of whether this neoplasm may derive from a vessel wall‐resident stem cell, such as the haemangioblast or an embryonic‐like stem cell. 相似文献

We clinicopathologically evaluated 31 cases of epithelioid sarcoma (ES; 25 'classical' type and six 'proximal variant' type) and six cases of malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT; three extrarenal and three renal). We also did immunohistochemical studies on 12 classical and three proximal variant cases of ES, and six cases of MRT, to clarify the differences in biological behavior in these tumors. E-cadherin, beta-catenin and CD34 expression was evaluated. We also carried out mutational analysis of exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis. In ES, the 5- and 10-year survival rates were 71.1 and 55.3%, respectively. A high mitotic rate (>15/10 high-power fields) was significantly correlated with a poor overall survival rate in ES (P = 0.0248). E-cadherin expression was observed in nine cases (69.2%) of ES and in four cases (66.7%) of MRT. Most of these tumors showed aberrant E-cadherin expression. Seven cases (46.7%) of ES were positive for CD34, although none of the cases of MRT were CD34 positive. Eleven cases (73.3%) of ES were positive for beta-catenin, which was localized to the cellular membrane, whereas all of the cases of MRT were beta-catenin negative. Mutational analysis for the beta-catenin gene was done in nine cases of ES and six cases of MRT, however, genetic alteration was not found. From our results, we conclude that beta-catenin membranous expression could be a useful marker for distinguishing ES, including the proximal variant, from MRT. 相似文献

Primary sarcomas of the great vessels are very rare neoplasms and only a few cases have been reported. They are divided into the two broad categories of intimal or luminal and mural sarcomas. We analysed eight advanced high-grade sarcomas originating from major vessels (seven intimal and one mural sarcoma) by means of immunohistochemistry and FISH analysis for PDGFRA, PDGFRB, EGFR and KIT receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), together with immunoprecipitation/western blotting, sequencing of the corresponding genes, and the search for cognate ligands. The intimal sarcomas showed a wide spectrum of morphologies and immunophenotypes, whereas the mural sarcoma had common leiomyosarcomatous features. Regardless of their category, all of the cases had a PDGFRA-deregulated cytogenetic profile mainly consisting of an amplification cluster; five were also polysomic for PDGFRB, whereas three showed disomy. Six cases had a deregulated EGFR gene, and c-Kit gene status was similar to that of PDGFRA. In one case, biochemical analysis revealed the presence of activated and highly expressed PDGFRA, PDGFRB and EGFR, whereas KIT was expressed at reference level. Sequencing of the corresponding genes revealed no activating mutations in any of the analysed receptors. The cognate ligands were detected in all cases. In predictive terms, the evidence of gene amplification/high polysomy of several RTKs, together with PDGFRA, PDGFRB and EGFR expression and phosphorylation, suggests that these tumours may be sensitive to RTK-inhibiting treatments. 相似文献

A disseminated intravascular tumour, presenting initially with splenic and small bowel infarction, caused both clinical and histological diagnostic difficulty. At subsequent autopsy the main tumour mass was identified within the aorta. Dissemination of this tumour was confirmed histologically and lectin and immunohistochemical staining performed. On the basis of the clinical and pathological features, we believe this represents a further case of aortic intimal sarcoma. 相似文献

Myeloid sarcoma (MyS) is defined as an extramedullary tumor-forming neoplasm consisting of immature myeloid cells with/without maturation. We experienced a case involving a 68-year-old Japanese male patient who had been followed-up for four years with a diagnosis of chronic idiopathic myelofibrosis/primary myelofibrosis (PMF) and noticed a painful mass in his left axilla. A wedge biopsy characterized the lesion as MyS that displayed megakaryoblastic/megakaryocytic differentiation. As his complete blood count included a few myeloid blasts (1% of WBC) and a bone marrow biopsy detected fibrosis without evidence of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a diagnosis of extramedullary blastic transformation of PMF was made, which was confirmed later by V617F mutation in Janus kinase-2 in both initial bone marrow biopsy and axillary tumor biopsy specimens. The patient died of pneumonia eight months after developing the axillary tumor. At autopsy, multiple MyS masses were detected in his soft tissue, but his bone marrow only contained fibrosis. Although MyS rarely develops before the leukemic transformation of PMF, no evidence of AML could be found in the patient's bone marrow at any point during the course of his disease. Thus, it is possible that the blasts in his peripheral blood were derived from the remaining MyS. Furthermore, the present case indicates that extramedullary blastic transformation, which is occasionally seen in CML, can also occur in PMF. Therefore, it is important to recognize that there is a wide variation in the pathogeneses of MyS and PMF. 相似文献

Morphometric and immunohistochemical characterization of the intimal layer throughout the arterial system of elderly humans 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The purpose of the present study was to obtain insight into the natural development of adaptive intimal thickening and atherosclerosis in the arterial tree of human species. The morphometry and composition of the intimal layer were studied in the arterial system of elderly individuals. Post mortem, a total of 703 arterial segments were dissected from 24 subjects (age 81.9 ± 9.9 years). From each subject, segments were dissected from 31 different arteries. Area stenosis [(plaque area/vessel area) × 100%] was determined in each segment. By (immuno)histochemistry, lipid content and the presence of inflammatory cells (macrophages) were assessed in the coronary, common carotid, brachial, radial and internal iliac arteries. Adaptive intimal thickening or advanced atherosclerosis was observed in all studied artery types. Area stenosis was highest in the coronary arteries (median, 30%) and lowest in the arteries supplying the brain (median, ≤ 7%). Plaques hiding a lipid‐rich core and plaques with macrophage infiltration were observed in all five selected artery types. In summary, the present observation demonstrates that intimal thickening is a systemic process involving most artery types. Within elderly humans, features of advanced atherosclerotic disease, a lipid‐rich core and macrophages, can be observed in the intimal layer of artery types that are recognised for their relation with clinical syndroms as well as artery types that remain clinically silent. 相似文献

Intimal sarcoma (IS) is the most common sarcoma of the aorta. The platelet‐derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA), murine double minute 2 (MDM2), and cyclin‐dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) genes are often simultaneously amplified in IS. While immunohistochemical analysis of IS tissue has demonstrated frequent overexpression of the MDM2 and CDK4 proteins, the expression pattern of PDGFRA has not been well characterized, particularly in terms of intratumoral heterogeneity. Here, we present the case of a 46‐year‐old man who presented with a backache and was subsequently diagnosed with IS. Intratumoral heterogeneity of PDGFRA gene amplification was observed using fluorescence in situ hybridization and was positively correlated with PDGFRA protein expression using immunohistochemistry (IHC). The expression of PDGFRA was also correlated with cytological atypia: PDGFRA was not overexpressed in intimal spreading cells that displayed the lowest degree of atypia while PDGFRA overexpression and amplification were observed in invasive cells of progressive areas such as the aortic wall and a pulmonary metastatic site, which showed increased cytological atypia. Although PDGFRA has not been well examined on IHC, IHC of PDGFRA could be useful to diagnose IS. However, the areas within the tumor from which specimens are derived are important given potential intratumoral heterogeneity. 相似文献

An autopsy case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with a peculiar form of extensive portal invasion is reported here. A 76‐year‐old woman presented with anorexia and abdominal discomfort. A high level of serum carbohydrate antigen 19‐9 and endoscopically detected esophageal varices were found. Obvious mass lesion was not identified on CT scan and no portal blood flow was found. The patient died 6 months after admission. At autopsy multiple irregular shaped tumors in the liver were found. The size of the largest one was 3 × 2 cm. These tumors were well‐differentiated adenocarcinomas with partial mucinous carcinoma morphology. Surprisingly, portal veins contained mucinous fluid and the inner surface was lined with a single layer of tumor cells but not endothelial cells. Invasion of carcinoma into the tissue outside the blood vessels was hardly observed in organs other than the liver. This form of extensive invasion of the tumor, termed intimal carcinoma spreading, caused complete obstruction of the portal system. To our knowledge there has been no report on this type of portal invasion of ICC. 相似文献

A 52-year-old woman was admitted with a painful right breast tumor measuring more than 20 cm in largest diameter, which ulcerated the overlying skin. The lesion had appeared 4 years previously but the patient hesitated to seek medical care due to 'fear of cancer'. Microscopically, the tumor was composed of spindle cells that formed cuffs around multiple open tubules and ducts set in an abundant, myxoid stroma. The spindle cells had significant atypia with nuclear pleomorphism, occasional cytoplasmic vacuolation and moderate mitotic activity. The ducts and lobules surrounded by the proliferating tumor cells had minimal distortion, with a pericanalicular growth pattern devoid of the phyllodes pattern. The tumor had a multinodular growth pattern with coalesced and individual tumor nodules, the latter being found mostly at the periphery of the lesion. On immunohistochemistry the tumor cells were positive for smooth muscle actin, CD34, and vimentin, and focally positive for CD10. A diagnosis of low-grade periductal stromal sarcoma (PDSS) with myxoid features was established. PDSS is a distinct low-grade breast sarcoma, the appropriate diagnosis of which requires extensive tumor sampling and additional broad immunohistochemistry. PDSS should not be confused with other spindle cell breast tumors because they require different treatment. 相似文献

Studies have shown that patients harboring bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) or bovine aortic arch (BAA) are more likely than the general population to develop ascending aortic aneurysm (AsAA). A thorough quantification of the AsAA tissue properties for these patient groups may offer insights into the underlying mechanisms of AsAA development. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate and compare the mechanical and microstructural properties of aortic tissues from AsAA patients with and without concomitant BAV or BAA. AsAA (n = 20), BAV (n = 20) and BAA (n = 15) human tissues were obtained from patients who underwent elective AsAA surgery. Planar biaxial and uniaxial failure tests were used to characterize the mechanical and failure properties of the tissues, respectively. Histological analysis was performed to detect medial degenerative characteristics of aortic aneurysm. Individual layer thickness and composition were quantified for each patient group. The circumferential stress–strain response of the BAV samples was stiffer than both AsAA (p = 0.473) and BAA (p = 0.152) tissues at a low load. The BAV samples were nearly isotropic, while AsAA and BAA samples were anisotropic. The areal strain of BAV samples was significantly less than that of AsAA (p = 0.041) and BAA (p = 0.004) samples at a low load. The BAA samples were similar to the AsAA samples in both mechanical and failure properties. On the microstructural level, all samples displayed moderate medial degeneration, characterized by elastin fragmentation, cell loss, mucoid accumulation and fibrosis. The ultimate tensile strength of BAV and BAA sampleswere also found to decrease with age. Overall, the BAV samples were stiffer than both AsAA and BAA samples, and the BAA samples were similar to the AsAA samples. The BAV samples were thinnest, with less elastin than AsAA and BAA samples, which may be attributed to the loss of extensibility of these tissues at a low load. No apparent difference in failure mechanics among the tissue groups suggests that each of the patient groups may have a similar risk of rupture. 相似文献

Rhabdoid tumors have been reported in many different anatomic sites as an aggressive tumor and usually present with a rhabdoid tumor component (a composite tumor) rather than a pure rhabdoid tumor. Rhabdoid tumor in the prostate has been described only once in the prostatic region as a possible epithelial origin. Rhabdoid features in prostatic stromal sarcomas (PSSs) have never been described in the literature. Here, we report a case of a PSS with rhabdoid features. A 31-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of voiding difficulty and anal pain. Computed tomography of the abdomen revealed an ovoid mass in the prostate invading rectum and urinary bladder. A needle biopsy was diagnosed as an unclassified spindle cell sarcoma, and 2 cycles of adriamycin-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy were given, followed by radical prostatectomy. The prostatectomy specimen revealed a high-grade sarcoma with fascicles of highly cellular spindle cells and numerous mitoses with hemorrhage and necrosis. In areas, the tumor also contained sheets of loosely cohesive epithelioid cells with rhabdoid tumor component. Both spindle and rhabdoid tumor cells were positive for vimentin, CD34, and progesterone receptor and negative for desmin and cytokeratin immunostainings. The rhabdoid tumor cells retained INI1 expression. The tumor recurred in the bladder, and the patient died of sepsis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of PSS with rhabdoid features. The tumor showed an aggressive clinical behavior with a short-term survival (7 months after diagnosis). 相似文献
