We report a case of an unusual sarcoma arising in the ovary of an infant girl. Histologically, the tumor was composed of clear,
undifferentiated cells set in an arborizing vascular stroma. Immunohistochemical staining was positive only for vimentin.
Ultrastructural evaluation demonstrated undifferentiated cells with interdigitating broad cell processes that encompassed
irregular electron lucent spaces that contained flocculent extracellular material. Light and electron microscopic features
of the tumor resembled a clear cell sarcoma of the kidney. Although the cell of origin is unproven, both tumors may arise
from primitive mesenchymal cells that may not be restricted to the kidney.

Expression of WT-1, Bcl-2, and CD34 by Primary Renal Spindle Cell Tumors in Children 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The confident diagnosis of renal spindle cell tumors in children is often difficult. An immunohistochemical study of WT-1,
Bcl-2, and CD34 was performed to determine their expression profiles and to assess the potential utility of these immunohistochemical
markers in the differential diagnosis of 36 cases of renal spindle cell tumors of childhood. The cases included 11 stromal
predominant Wilms tumors, 12 cellular mesoblastic nephromas, 9 clear cell sarcomas of the kidney (CCSK), and 4 monophasic
synovial sarcomas. WT-1 was uniformly positive in primitive undifferentiated stromal Wilms tumors (6 of 6) and negative in
the differentiating and differentiated stromal elements of Wilms tumors (0 of 5). WT-1 was also negative in cellular mesoblastic
nephromas (0 of 12), CCSKs (0 of 12), and synovial sarcomas (0 of 4). Bcl-2 was expressed in all stromal Wilms tumors (11
of 11), all synovial sarcomas (4 of 4), some CCSKs (4 of 9), and none of the cellular mesoblastic nephromas (0 of 12). Although
CD34 was absent in the tumor cells of all the tumors studies (0 of 36), CD34 immunohistochemistry nicely demonstrated the
evenly distributed septal capillaries characteristic of CCSK in all 9 cases of this tumor. We conclude that a combination
of WT-1 and Bcl-2 immunohistochemistry may aid in the distinction of stromal Wilms tumor, monophasic synovial sarcoma, cellular
mesoblastic nephroma, and CCSK. 相似文献

Familial adenomatous polyposis coli is an inherited multiple neoplasia syndrome that is associated with an increased risk for development of another primary tumor. We report a case of a 14-year-old boy who had a proctocolectomy for familial adenomatous polyposis coli. He had survived radical nephrectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for a congenital clear cell sarcoma of the right kidney. Perhaps the presence of the familial adenomatous polyposis gene induces chromosomal instability in affected persons. 相似文献

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue in persons younger than 30 years of age is an extremely rare neoplasm. We report an unusual case of SCC of the tongue as a second malignancy in a young adult with a history of a stage III clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) treated 19 years earlier. Review of the literature reveals a spectrum of cytogenetic abnormalities in SCC; however, aberrations involving the long arm of chromosome 10 have been reported in both SCC and CCSK. Long-term follow-up, with particular attention to the head and neck, may be warranted in children with CCSK. 相似文献

Prognosis of infants born with sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) correlates with gestational age (GA). The survival rate after
30 weeks of gestation is 75%, compared to 7% before 30 weeks of gestation. Studies correlating GA with size, morphologic composition
of teratomas, ploidy or expression of cell cycle control proteins such as p53, and ret [a tyrosine kinase receptor of the
GDNF (glial cell line–derived neurotrophic factors)] receptor family may provide information explaining differences in survival.
Seven SCTs (GA 21 to 41 weeks), ranging in size from 5 to 15 cm, were evaluated for morphologic composition. DNA ploidy was
assessed in mature and immature neural elements. Immunohistochemical reactivity with monoclonal antibodies recognizing p53,
and ret was quantitated and correlated with morphological pattern and GA. Relative size of teratomas to infants' weight and
content of immature neural tissues correlated inversely with advancement of GA. Yolk sac tumor (YST) and immature tissues
showed aneuploid cell populations. Nuclear p53 reactivity was apparent in the teratoma with YST in the microcystic patterns,
the neuroectodermal rosettes, and the glandular patterns. Ret reactivity was seen in osteoclasts adjacent to bone formation
surrounding developing teeth in an immature teratoma, and in rare mature neural cells of one SCT of 35 weeks GA. The rapid
growth of SCT (GA <30 weeks) correlates with increase in immature neural tissues. Our study confirms aneuploidy in YST and
suggests aneuploid populations within immature tissues. p53 accumulates in a variety of patterns of YST and may be seen in
immature components of SCTs. To understand the possible role of ret, further studies comparing ret expression in immature
human tissues are needed.
