PEComa (clear cell "sugar" tumor) of the lung is a rare benign tumor of the lung probably arising from the perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs). We report a case of pulmonary PEComa arising from the periphery of the right lobe of a 64-year-old male. To our knowledge, this is the second case in the English literature diagnosed by fine needle aspiration biopsy. In this case report, the clinical, cytologic and immunohistochemical features clear cell "sugar" tumor of the lung are discussed and compared with the previously published literature. The differential diagnosis and methods for distinguishing the various clear cells lesions in the lung are discussed. 相似文献

A perivascular epithelioid tumor (PEComa) is a rare tumor probably arising from the perivascular epithelioid cells. Only three cases of pancreatic PEComa have been reported in the English-language literature. The present report describes an extremely rare case of pancreatic PEComa. A 47-year-old Japanese woman complained of lower abdominal pain and a well-demarcated solid tumor was found in the pancreatic head. There was no history of tuberous sclerosis complexes. Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy was thus performed. There was a well-demarcated, solid tumor measuring 17 mm in the pancreatic head. The tumor was composed of a diffuse proliferation of epithelioid tumor cells with many blood vessels but no adipose tissue. The tumor cells expressed HMB45 and α-smooth muscle actin. Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells possessed many membrane-bound granules that were positive for HMB45 on immunoelectron microscopy. The results of immunoelectron microscopy show that some PEComas possess not only typical melanosomes or premelanosomes but also aberrant melanosomes. 相似文献

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare collection of tumors arising in a wide array of anatomic locations. It is characterized by the presence of a peculiar population of myomelanocytic marker-positive perivascular epithelioid cells, and is commonly detected in the uterus. The colorectal area is an uncommon site for primary PEComa. In this study, we describe a 17-year-old patient presenting with a rectal polyp. Histologically, the tumor consisted of sheets of round to polygonal epithelioid cells with clear and granular cytoplasm, and a prominent capillary network. Some of the tumor cells were positive for Fontana-Masson staining. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for HMB-45, and were negative for cytokeratin, vimentin, S-100 protein, actin, desmin, EMA, CD34, and c-kit. After finding melanosomes or premelanosomes at the ultrastructural level, the diagnosis of PEComa was made. Although PEComa arising within the intestinal tract is unusual and clinically unexpected, PEComa should be considered in the differential diagnosis of rectal polypoid lesions. 相似文献

Aims: To report one case of malignant perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) of the kidney with rare pulmonary and ileum metastases and analyze its clinicopathological features. Methods: We analyzed the clinicopathological features of one case of malignant PEComa of the kidney with pulmonary and ileum metastases. Immunohistochemistry staining was performed. Results: The patient was a 48-year-old man with a renal mass approximately 14 cm × 11 cm × 8 cm in size. Microscopically, the tumor was mainly composed of polygonal epithelioid cells with dense eosinophilic cytoplasm and round nuclei with small nucleoli. Focal tumor cells showed pleomorphism with multinucleated giant cells and prominent nucleoli. The tumor cells nests were surrounded by thick-walled irregular blood vessels. Focal fat cells were found within the tumor. Hemorrhage and coagulative necrosis were also present. The tumor cells were positive for vimentin, HMB45, and Melan-A, and focally positive for SMA and S-100 protein. After 5 years and 5.6 years of nephrectomy, the tumor metastasized to the right lung and ileum, respectively. Conclusion: We first reported one case of malignant PEComa of the kidney with pulmonary and ileum metastases. Metastatic PEComa of the lung and ileum should differentiate from primary carcinoma, metastatic carcinoma, malignant melanoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. 相似文献

Defined as a family of scarce mesenchymal neoplasm which distinctively co-express melanocytic markers and muscle markers, perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComas) have been reported almost everybody site. Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors-not otherwise specified (PEComas-NOS) arising in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract are still restricted into sporadic case reports. Herein we present a case of GI PEComas-NOS which occurs in the duodenum of a 27-year-old male. Our initial diagnosis tended to gastrointestinal stromal tumor or smooth muscle tumor till the correct diagnosis of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) was established by postoperative pathological examination. We also make a literature review of GI PEComas-NOS and highlight the challenge it brings to the differential diagnosis. 相似文献

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm, and malignant cases are extremely rare. A case of malignant PEComa arising in the colon is described herein. The patient was a 43-year-old Japanese woman without a history of tuberous sclerosis complex. The tumor occurred in the abdominal cavity attached to the serosal side of the descending colon. Histologically, the tumor consisted of sheets or closely packed nests of epithelioid cells with clear or eosinophilic cytoplasms. The tumor cells were positive for HMB-45 but negative for S-100 protein and cytokeratins by immunohistochemical staining. Ki-67 labeling index was 2.9%. Peritoneal dissemination of tumor occurred at 20 months and the patient died of tumor at 38 months after the initial operation. This was considered to be a case of malignant PEComa, based on the histological and clinical features. Tumor cells showed overexpression of cyclin D1 but lacked the loss of heterozygosity of the TSC1 and TSC2 genes. The result suggests that the overexpression of cyclin D1 may play an important role in the tumorigenesis of PEComa. Because PEComas can behave in an aggressive manner, careful follow up is warranted. 相似文献

Although appearance of conventional uterine endometrial stromal sarcoma is easily recognized on histology, it may uncommonly assume unusual appearances such as uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex-cord tumor, thereby hindering its diagnosis. Recently, its manifestation as an epithelioid neoplasm was described. In this report, we detail yet another instance where this tumor adopted an epithelioid morphology, presenting itself as a polyp extruding from the cervical os in a 41-year-old Chinese woman. Both the polypectomy and subsequent hysterectomy specimens revealed a predominant proliferation of CD10-negative, caldesmon-negative, and CD117-positive epithelioid cells set within a stroma containing vascular proliferation resembling endometrial stromal tumor. Areas of typical low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma containing spindle cells that were focally positive for CD10 and negative for CD117 were present in close association with the epithelioid areas. The differential diagnoses and possible implication of CD117 positivity are discussed. 相似文献

We report a case of PEComa (or perivascular epithelioid cell tumor) in an unusual articular localization in a 13-year-old boy. The tumor, of 4 cm in diameter, showed an infiltrative pattern and was composed of both epithelioid and spindle cells with clear to granular eosinophilic cytoplasm and some multinucleated giant cells. Focal nuclear pleomorphism was present and we found up to 2 mitotic figures /50 high power field. There was no necrosis. Immunohistochemistry showed HMB-45 and smooth muscle actin positivity. Ultrastructurally, premelanosomes were present. Some rare cases of PEComa were reported in the soft tissues. The immunohistological profile (HMB-45 and smooth muscle actin positivity and PS-100 negativity) is helpful to the diagnosis. The histological prognostic criteria of these tumors are not well established. We discuss here the differential diagnosis, notably clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue. 相似文献

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumour (PEComa) is a term applied to a family of mesenchymal tumours composed of varying proportions of spindle and epithelioid cell components associated with HMB-45 expression. PEComa rarely arises in the soft tissue, visceral organs, skin and bone. This report details an instance when a purely epithelioid PEComa arose from the right fibula of a 52-year-old Chinese woman without features of tuberous sclerosis complex. The excision specimen disclosed an epithelioid tumour with a nested pattern associated with areas of nuclear pleomorphism, mitotic activity, necrosis and vascular invasion in addition to HMB-45 expression on immunohistochemistry. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this represents the first case of a histologically malignant PEComa of the bone. A short review of primary bone PEComas and potential problems in diagnosis is presented. 相似文献

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is rare entity and has been described only recently. By immunohistochemistry and genetics it belongs to the family of tumours which comprises angiomyolipoma, clear cell "sugar" tumor of lung, lymphangioleiomyomatosis and clear cell myomelanotic tumor of ligamentum falciforme/teres hepatis. We describe an unusual case of hepatic PEComa arising in a 55-year-old woman with previous history of glioblastoma. Histologically the tumor grew in expansive way, and was composed of clear and eosinophilic epithelioid cels, without vascular or lipomatous component characteristic of angiomyolipoma. There was mild nuclear pleomorphism, sporadic mitotic activity and haemorrhage without necrosis. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor was HMB-45+50, Melan-A and smooth muscle actin positive. Tyrosinase, S-100 protein, cytokeratin coctail, EMA, vimentin, muscle specific actin, CD10, TTF-1, hepatocyte, desmin and cyclin D1 were negative. Sporadic nuclear p53 positivity was seen. The main differential diagnosis of hepatic PEComa includes clear cell variant of liver cell adenoma and hepatocellular carcinoma, metastases of various clear cell carcinomas and metastasis of malignant melanoma. In respect of uncertain biologic potential of PEComa, long term follow up is indicated. 相似文献

Hemangioblastoma of soft tissue is a very rare tumor of uncertain histological type. Herein, we reported a 51-year-old woman was found to have a solid and cystic mass measuring 31×30 mm in the right adnexa area on a computed tomography scan. The tumor showed the typical histology of hemangioblastoma. Tumor was composed of numerous capillaries and stromal cells with cytoplasmic vacuolization. Immunohistochemical study revealed that the tumor stromal cells were positive for CD56, S-100 protein, NSE, Syn, CgA, and inhibin-α. Focal EMA positivity was present. Ki-67 expression was found in approximately 1% of tumor cells. The tumor cells were negative for CK, HMB-45, Melan-A, SMA, and CD68. The differential diagnosis of Hemangioblastoma arising in pelvic cavity includes hemangioma, hemangioendothelioma, liposarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, fat-forming solitary fibrous tumor, paraganglioma, and perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa). 相似文献

A case of a perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) arising in the uterus of a 35-year-old woman is presented. Imaging studies revealed a 5 cm well circumscribed mass in the uterine fundus. The tumor was composed of clear to faintly eosinophilic, epithelioid and spindled cells. Immunohistochemically, most tumour cells were strongly positive for HMB-45, smooth muscle actin and desmine, but negative for epithelial markers, S-100 Protein and neuroendocrine markers. Reevaluation of the patient for signs of tuberous sclerosis complex after the diagnosis gave negative results. At the most recent follow-up 4 months later there was no evidence of recurrence. 相似文献

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a rare mesenchymal tumor originating from perivascular epitheloid cells showing melanocytic and smooth muscle differentiation. The uterus represents the second most common site of origin. A 49 years woman presented to our Hospital for a vaginal spontaneous expulsion of a mass suggestive for malignant mesenchymal tumor. The patient underwent total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and the histopathological report was compliant with a PEComa with aggressive behavior. Medical Literature databases about PEComa were searched. The current literature identified near 90 cases of uterine PEComas and they are categorized as uncertain malignant potential or with aggressive behavior. Primary surgical excision represents the gold-standard treatment. Recently targeted therapy with mTOR inhibitors has been introduced with an important beneficial. In this paper we review the Literature about the uPEComa with aggressive behavior reporting the first case of spontaneous vaginal expulsion. 相似文献

Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a neoplasm chiefly composed of HMB-45-positive epithelioid cells with clear-to-granular cytoplasm and a perivascular distribution. We describe such a tumor involving the prostate and seminal vesicle in a 46-year-old man. The tumor had characteristic histologic features of PEComa. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for HMB-45 but negative for epithelial markers, Melan-A, and S100 protein. The tumor behaved in a malignant fashion, and the patient died of the disease 4 years after diagnosis. 相似文献

A case of hepatic clear cell myomelanocytic tumor in a 31-year-old woman presenting clinically with abdominal pain is reported. Histopathologic examination showed a lesion characterized by a population of large epithelioid cells with clear or eosinophilic granular cytoplasm, rich in glycogen. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for HMB-45, Melan-A and muscle-specific actin, but negative for epithelial markers, desmin, S-100 protein, and neuroendocrine markers. Ultrastructurally, the tumor cells had abundant glycogen, well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, microtubules and aberrant melanosomes. Clinical and pathologic features with a brief review of the relevant literature for hepatic CCMMT as a variant of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) are discussed. 相似文献

We report a case of diffuse myomelanocytic tumor of the peritoneum that simulates, clinically and instrumentally, a malignant mesothelioma. The patient was a 70-year-old woman with a history of ancient hysterectomy for fibroids, who presented with abdominal discomfort. Exploratory laparotomy revealed diffuse encasing of the peritonealized organs by a thin, fleshy, gray-white tissue rind. Scattered tumor masses were present as well. A dominant lesion measuring 6 cm in larger size was resected from the pelvis. Histological examination revealed a tumor composed of epithelioid and spindle cells, exhibiting either a clear or slightly eosinophilic cytoplasm and a mild to moderate nuclear pleomorphism. Focal areas of necrosis could be documented. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for HMB45, melan-A, and smooth muscle actin, but negative for other antibodies, including epithelial markers, desmin, and S100 protein. We believe that this case represents an example of myomelanocytic tumor of uncertain biologic potential, a member of the recently devised perivascular epithelioid cell tumors (PEComa), with an unusual presentation simulating a diffuse mesothelial neoplasm. The origin of this particular lesion is briefly discussed in light of the recent literature published on the subject. 相似文献

Neoplasms with perivascular épithelioid-cell differentiation (PEComas) are rare tumors with a distinctive immunoreactivity for melanocytic markers. They have been described in various organs. We report an intrapancreatic PEComa discovered in a 46-year-old woman during a workup for diarrhea. CT scan showed a 1.7cm nodule in the body of the pancreas with slight-contrast enhancement at arterial time and isodense at portal time. The aspect was suggestive of an endocrine tumor despite negative somatostatin-receptor scintigraphy. Enucleation was performed. Pathologic evaluation showed a well-circumscribed intrapancreatic tumor consisting of a population of clear to eosinophilic spindle cells and a less abundant population of epithelioid cells arranged around blood vessels. Tumor cells expressed vimentin, HMB45 and actin and only focally S-100 protein, KL1, CD117 and CD34. These features were consistent with a PEComa. Pancreatic PEComas are rare, but should be included in the differential diagnostic of pancreatic clear cells tumors or pancreatic spindle- and epithelioid-cells tumors. 相似文献

We present a rare case of perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) in the right 6th rib of a 28-year-old man. A plain computed tomography scan showed a round osteolytic lesion in the right 6th rib. The resected tissue contained a globular-shaped, soft tumor. Histologically, the tumor was rich in vasculature and exclusively composed of perivascular epithelioid cells with clear cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, the tumor expressed diffusely a melanocyte marker, human melanoma black-45, and focally a myogenic marker, alpha-smooth muscle actin, but not an epithelial marker, AE1/AE3. Fontana-Masson-positive melanin pigments were present and c-kit receptor tyrosine kinase (CD117), involved in the development of melanocytes but not myogenic cells, was expressed in tumor cells. These findings indicate that the tumor is PEComa with some differentiation into melanocytes. Notably, owing to the unique location of the occurrence, the tumor occupied bone marrow tissues of the rib, resulting that the tumor has the potential for hematogenous metastasis. In spite of the lack of cells with severe atypia, necrosis, and numerous mitoses, tumor cells invaded into surrounding tissues and overexpressed cyclin D1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of PEComa arising from the rib with the signs of malignant potential. 相似文献

The authors describe a case of multifocal perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) arising in the pelvis of a 39-year-old woman affected by tuberous sclerosis. The tumor presented in the form of multiple fascicular, focally cystic nodules involving the uterine corpus, both ovaries, and the omentum. Microscopically, the nodules were composed of foci of adenomyosis and endometriosis (with focal atypical complex hyperplasia) associated with a stromal spindle cell population immunoreactive for HMB-45, smooth muscle actin, and estrogen and progesterone receptors. We interpret these foci as the result of a widespread proliferation of perivascular epithelioid cells (PEC). Because of the diffuse quality of the process, the designation of PEComatosis seems warranted. 相似文献
