Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) of the central nervous system are uncommon embryonal neoplasms, rarely occurring in adults. Differentiation into specific mesenchymal tissues, such as cartilage, bone, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, or adipose tissue, is rare. We report a case of a 51-year-old woman with a PNET of cerebrum that showed extensive mature adipose tissue differentiation. This is the second case, to our knowledge, of PNET of cerebrum with adipose tissue elements that has been described. 相似文献

The diagnosis of mesenchymal neoplasms arising in the superficial soft tissue can be challenging as some entities are rare and show overlapping features. Moreover, the spectrum of mesenchymal tumours has expanded recently to include potential new entities, some of which have been described after the 5th edition of the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification of soft tissue and bone tumours published in 2020. In the skin and superficial soft tissue, tumours of epidermal, melanocytic and appendageal origin are more commonly encountered than mesenchymal neoplasms. However, specific entities from the latter category can occasionally express epithelial markers on immunohistochemistry, some of them in a strong and diffuse manner. It is therefore crucial to be aware of diagnostic pitfalls when encountering cytokeratin positivity in superficial soft tissue neoplasms. This article provides an overview on the differential diagnosis of these mesenchymal tumours that can sporadically occur also in the skin, including myoepithelial neoplasms, epithelioid sarcoma, keratin positive giant cell tumour of soft tissue / xanthogranulomatous epithelial tumour, superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumour / PRDM10-rearranged soft tissue tumour, and perineurioma. 相似文献

Adenomyolipoma of the uterus is a rare, benign, polypoid lesion considered to be of hamartomatous origin or represent an unusual type of benign Müllerian mixed tumour with a heterologous element. The authors present a case of uterine adenomyolipoma and discuss its pathogenesis. A 62-year-old woman complained of lower abdominal pain and postmenopausal bleeding. Imaging techniques revealed a solid ovarian mass and a polypoid intrauterine lesion. The frozen section diagnosis of the ovarian mass was a thecoma. A total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were performed. On gross examination a pedunculated, polypoid lesion of 7x4.5x3cm was found in the uterine cavity. Microscopically, the polypoid lesion contained both epithelial and mesenchymal elements. The epithelial elements were endometrial glands of various size, formed by proliferative endometrial cells. The mesenchymal elements were composed of endometrial stroma, smooth muscle and mature adipocytes. Both the epithelial and the mesenchymal elements showed a benign appearance, were intermingled with each other and periglandular stromal condensation was absent. The lesion had an irregular surface. Microscopic diagnosis was an adenomyolipoma. The peculiar shape and microscopic features of this lesion suggested that it was a variant of benign Müllerian mixed tumour. 相似文献

A rare case of primary pleomorphic liposarcoma of the thigh with a myxoid component, in which divergent differentiation to a well-differentiated chondrosarcoma was focally present, is described. Presence of heterologous elements has mainly been recognized in the context of dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Few cases of benign mesenchymal tissue have also been reported in well-differentiated and myxoid liposarcomas, while divergent sarcomatous differentiation in liposarcomas appears to be also rare in the absence of dedifferentiation. Positive immunostaining of transforming growth factor-beta, which seems to play a role in the formation of bone and cartilage, was demonstrated in our case. Review of the existing literature on the subject has been carried out. 相似文献

Aims : To document the clinical, morphological and immunohistochemical features of two cases of primary mucosal melanoma with osteocartilaginous differentiation.
Two cases of mucosal melanoma with cartilage and bone formation are reported, one arising in the vagina of a 79-year-old woman and one in the oral cavity of a 67-year-old man. The vaginal melanoma exhibited only cartilaginous differentiation. The oral cavity mucosal melanoma exhibited both bone and cartilage formation and was remarkable for its multifocality, long history not associated with metastases and its lengthy manifestation of dual morphologies: some of the tumours were typical in situ/invasive melanotic melanomas whilst the others were composed of amelanotic spindle and epithelioid cells with osteocartilaginous tissue. One of the lesions exhibited in situ and invasive melanoma with transition to an osteogenic tumour in places. The patient also developed non-osteogenic malignant melanomas in the nasal cavity and nasopharynx.
Malignant melanomas showing foci of osteocartilaginous differentiation are extremely rare with only 18 cases reported. Primary mucosal malignant melanomas of vagina and oral cavity showing osteocartilaginous differentiation have not previously been documented. Primary vaginal melanoma with cartilaginous differentiation must be distinguished from primary malignant mixed Müllerian tumour whilst malignant change in a pleomorphic adenoma, sarcomatoid carcinoma, osteogenic sarcoma and mesenchymal chondrosarcoma are included in the differential diagnosis of primary oral mucosal melanomas with osteocartilaginous differentiation. In this context, immunohistochemistry using antibodies to cytokeratin, S100 protein and MIC2 is of value. 相似文献

Lipomas are very common benign soft tissue neoplasms. They are usually slow-growing and may occur anywhere in the body. Mature cartilage and bone arising in a lipoma is a rare event and is mostly associated with a parosteal localization of the neoplasm. We describe a new case of osteochondrolipoma showing not only major adipocytic differentiation but also areas of fibrocytic and cartilaginous cell differentiation and bone formation (both endochondral and membranous). The occurrence of at least 4 distinct directions of mesenchymal cell differentiation within a benign neoplasia underlines the concept of multilineage differentiation of pluripotent mesenchymal stem cells. Such a multidirectional potential was recently well established in vitro in stem cells present in adult adipocytic tissue. 相似文献

To evaluate the effects of alendronate (ALN) on the subchondral bone quality and cartilage degeneration in the early phase
of experimental model of osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament transaction (ACLT). Thirty male adult healthy Japanese
white rabbits after right ACLT or sham operation were divided into three groups (n = 10 per group): Sham; ACLT + ALN [after ACLT, the rabbits were treated with ALN daily starting from 4 days after surgery
(10 μg/kg/d subcutaneously)]; and ACLT + NS group (after ACLT, the rabbits were injected saline as a placebo). At 60 days
postsurgery, specimens from the affected knees were harvested. Histological analysis (HE and Safranin-O staining) as well
as Mankin score were carried out to assess the cartilage degradation. BMP-2 and MMP-13 immunohistochemistry were also performed
to demonstrate the alterations of cartilage molecular metabolism. Subchondral bone quality was evaluated by bone mineral density
(BMD) and microstructure histomorphometry assay. For bone mineral density evaluation, 1/4 distal femurs, medial and lateral
regions of femoral condylus were scanned with dual X-ray absorptiometry to assess the subchondral bone mass. Giemsa, von Kossa
stain, and fluorescence technique for undecalcified bone section were carried out to examine the morphometry of the subchondral
trabecular bone and subchondral plate. Histological and Mankin score analyses displayed that ALN treatment markedly reduced
cartilage lesions and delayed the cartilage degeneration in OA joints. Immunohistochemistry assay further indicated that this
cartilage-protective role of ALN was associated with elevating BMP-2 while inhibiting MMP-13 expression. BMD assessment demonstrated
that ALN treatment significantly suppressed subchondral bone resorption. The results from histomorphometry assay of subchondral
bone revealed that ALN treatment markedly increased the percent trabecular area (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and
trabecular number (Tb.N). Moreover, both thickness and the porosity of the subchondral plate in ACLT + ALN group presented
significantly higher than that in ACLT + NS group, while no significant difference was found between ACLT + ALN and Sham group.
ALN plays an important role in cartilage protection in OA joints that is associated with the improvement of subchondral bone
quality through reduction of subchondral bone resorption. ALN could be potentially used as a disease-modifying strategy to
limit the progression of OA. 相似文献

Adult bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells are undifferentiated, multipotential cells and have the potential to differentiate into multiple lineages like bone, cartilage or fat. In this study, polyelectrolyte complex silk fibroin/chitosan blended porous scaffolds were fabricated and examined for its ability to support in vitro chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells. Silk fibroin matrices provide suitable substrate for cell attachment and proliferation while chitosan are promising biomaterial for cartilage repair due to it’s structurally resemblance with glycosaminoglycans. We compared the formation of cartilaginous tissue in the silk fibroin/chitosan blended scaffolds with rat mesenchymal stem cells and cultured in vitro for 3 weeks. Additionally, pure silk fibroin scaffolds of non-mulberry silkworm, Antheraea mylitta and mulberry silkworm, Bombyx mori were also utilized for comparative studies. The constructs were analyzed for cell attachment, proliferation, differentiation, histological and immunohistochemical evaluations. Silk fibroin/chitosan blended scaffolds supported the cell attachment and proliferation as indicated by SEM observation, Confocal microscopy and metabolic activities. Alcian Blue and Safranin O histochemistry and expression of collagen II indicated the maintenance of chondrogenic phenotype in the constructs after 3 weeks of culture. Glycosaminoglycans and collagen accumulated in all the scaffolds and was highest in silk fibroin/chitosan blended scaffolds and pure silk fibroin scaffolds of A. mylitta. Chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs in the silk fibroin/chitosan and pure silk fibroin scaffolds was evident by real-time PCR analysis for cartilage-specific ECM gene markers. The results represent silk fibroin/chitosan blended 3D scaffolds as suitable scaffold for mesenchymal stem cells-based cartilage repair. 相似文献

背景:关节软骨几乎没有自身修复的能力,目前临床大多采用自体或异体软骨移植修复、软骨膜或骨膜移植修复、软骨细胞移植修复。由于自体软骨来源有限,异体软骨又存在慢性免疫排斥反应,最终可能导致预后不佳;软骨膜或骨膜移植修复的软骨易于退化,导致修复效果不佳。
目的:总结组织工程化软骨细胞、骨髓间充质干细胞及两者共培养对同种异体软骨缺损修复作用的研究现状。

This work investigated the delivery of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with or without the growth factor transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), from biodegradable hydrogel composites on the repair of osteochondral defects in a rabbit model. Three formulations of oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) (OPF) hydrogel composites containing gelatin microparticles (GMPs) and MSCs were implanted in osteochondral defects, including (i) OPF/GMP hydrogel composites; (ii) OPF/GMP hydrogel composites encapsulating MSCs; and (iii) OPF hydrogel composites containing TGF-β1-loaded GMPs and MSCs. At 12 weeks, the quality of new tissue formed in chondral and subchondral regions of defects was evaluated based on subjective and quantitative histological analysis. OPF hydrogel composites were partially degraded and the defects were filled with newly formed tissue at 12 weeks with no sign of persistent inflammation. With the implantation of scaffolds alone, newly formed chondral tissue had an appearance of hyaline cartilage with zonal organization and intense staining for glycosaminoglycans, while in the subchondral region hypertrophic cartilage with some extent of bone formation was often observed. The addition of MSCs, especially with TGF-β1-loaded GMPs, facilitated subchondral bone formation, as evidenced by more trabecular bone appearance. However, the delivery of MSCs with or without TGF-β1 at the dosage investigated did not improve cartilage morphology. While OPF-based hydrogel composites supported osteochondral tissue generation, further investigations are necessary to elucidate the effects of MSC seeding density and differentiation stage on new tissue formation and regeneration. 相似文献

A rare case of a mature teratoma of the placenta is reported. The tumor lay between the amnion and the chorlon and contained skin and its appendages, bone, cartilage, fat and ganglia, without organization. There was no evidence of a recognizable umbilical cord. We concluded that the tumor was a mature teratoma of the placenta. The distinction between a teratoma and a fetus acardius amorphus, and the possible origin of the tumor in this site, are discussed with a brief review of the literature. 相似文献

Reconstruction of cartilage,bone, and hematopoietic microenvironment with demineralized bone matrix and bone marrow cells 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Highly specialized hard tissues, such as cartilage, bone, and stromal microenvironment supporting hematopoiesis, originate from a common type of mesenchymal progenitor cell (MPC). We hypothesized that MPCs present in bone marrow cell suspension and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) that possess natural conductive and inductive features might constitute a unit containing all the essential elements for purposive bone and cartilage induction. Using a rodent preclinical model, we found that implantation of a composite comprising DBM and MPCs into A) a damaged area of a joint; B) an ablated bone marrow cavity, and C) a calvarial defect resulted in the generation of A) a new osteochondral complex comprising articular cartilage and subchondral bone; B) trabecular bone and stromal microenvironment supporting hematopoiesis, and C) flat bone, respectively. The new tissue formation followed differentiation pathways controlled by site-specific physiological conditions, thus developing tissues that precisely met local demands. 相似文献

Mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall is a very rare, benign tumour with distinct clinical, radiological and histopathologic characteristics. The lesion develops during foetal life, and is present at or shortly after birth with an extrapleural mass arising from the rib cage with or without respiratory distress and marked rib deformity. Several imaging techniques have been used for diagnosis, but a definitive diagnosis is established only by histopathological examination. Such lesions are composed of a varying admixture of hyaline cartilage that has features resembling growth plate cartilage, along with fascicles of spindle cells, woven bone and hemorrhagic cysts. Accurate diagnosis of mesenchymal hamartoma is important since many chest wall masses in children are malignant. We report a case of mesenchymal hamartoma of the left posterior chest wall surgically resected in an infant who was found to have a palpable mass at birth. Two years after surgery, the patient is alive and well, with no evidence of recurrence. 相似文献

The presence of a parotid tumour containing cartilage immediately invokes a diagnosis of pleomorphic adenoma. However, the case we wish to highlight is a rare primary parotid neoplasm composed of both immature and mature fat and cartilaginous-looking areas conforming histologically to a chondroid lipoma.This lesion is a well-circumscribed, lobulated tumour composed of mature fat, mono- and multi-vacuolated lipoblastic-like cells suspended in a chondromyxoid matrix, simulating a cartilaginous tumour. There is no cytological atypical thus separating it from malignant fat and cartilaginous tumours. Chondroid lipomas do not show epithelial differentiation and exhibit only focal cytokeratin immunoexpression, thereby allowing for separation from pleomorphic adenoma and myoepithelioma. 相似文献

Integration of repair tissue is a key indicator of the long-term success of cell-based therapies for cartilage repair. The
objective of this study was to compare the in vitro chondrogenic differentiation and integration of agarose hydrogels seeded with either chondrocytes or bone marrow-derived
mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in defects created in cartilage explants. Chondrocytes and MSCs were isolated from porcine donors,
suspended in 2% agarose and then injected into cylindrical defects within the explants. These constructs were maintained in
a chemically defined medium supplemented with 10 ng/mL of TGF-β3. Cartilage integration was assessed by histology and mechanical
push-out tests. After 6 weeks in culture, chondrocyte-seeded constructs demonstrated a higher integration strength (64.4 ± 8.3 kPa)
compared to MSC-seeded constructs (22.7 ± 5.9 kPa). Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) (1.27 ± 0.3 vs. 0.19 ± 0.03 kPa) and collagen
(0.31 ± 0.08 vs. 0.09 ± 0.01 kPa) accumulation in chondrocyte-seeded constructs was greater than that measured in the MSC-seeded
group. The GAG, collagen, and DNA content of both chondrocyte- and MSC-seeded hydrogels cultured in cartilage explants was
significantly lower than control constructs cultured in free swelling conditions. The results of this study suggest that the
explant model may constitute a more rigorous in vitro test to assess MSC therapies for cartilage defect repair. 相似文献

Perivascular neoplasms of skin and soft tissues comprise a group of benign and malignant mesenchymal neoplasms showing a perivascular myogenic differentiation. Whereas glomus tumour including its variants represents a clearly defined clinicopathological entity, the whole concept of haemangiopericytoma has been questioned in the last years, and no clear diagnostic criteria are established at the moment. Myopericytomas and myofibromas represent a morphological spectrum of perivascular spindle-shaped lesions. Infantile myofibroma/infantile myofibromatosis and solitary myofibroma of adults are characterized by a biphasic growth of mature, spindled, myofibroblastic cells and smaller, immature, mesenchymal cells associated with numerous haemangiopericytoma-like vessels. Benign and rare malignant myopericytomas of skin and soft tissues are characterized by a concentric, perivascular growth of plump spindled and round tumour cells staining positively for muscle actin, alpha-smooth muscle actin and more rarely for desmin. PEComas represent an enigmatic family of neoplasms composed of perivascular epithelioid, clear, and spindled tumour cells characterized by a coexpression of melanocytic and myogenic markers. 相似文献

Treatment of defects in joint cartilage aims to re-establish normal joint function. In vitro experiments have shown that the application of synthetic scaffolds is a promising alternative to existing therapeutic options. A sheep study was conducted to test the suitability of microporous pure β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) ceramics as tissue engineering scaffolds for the repair of osteochondral defects. Cylindrical plugs of microporous β-TCP (diameter: 7 mm; length: 25 mm; porosity: 43.5 ± 2.4%; pore diameter: ~5 μm) with interconnecting pores were used. Scaffolds were seeded with autologous chondrocytes in vitro and cultured for 4 weeks. A drill hole (diameter 7 mm) was placed in both medial femoral condyles of sheep. For the left knee the defect was filled with a TCP plug and for the right knee the defect was left empty. After 6, 12, 26 and 52 weeks, seven animals from each group were killed and studied. The samples were examined employing histological, histomorphometric and immunohistological methods as well as various imaging techniques (X-ray, microcomputer tomography and scanning electron microscopy). After explantation the cartilage defects were first assessed macroscopically. There were no signs of infection or inflammation. Histological grading scales were used for assessment of bony integration and cartilage repair. An increasing degradation (81% after 52 weeks) of the ceramic with concomitant bone formation was observed. The original structure of cancellous bone was almost completely restored. After 26 and 52 weeks, collagen II-positive hyaline cartilage was detected in several samples. New subchondral bone had formed. The formation of cartilage began at the outer edge and proceeded to the middle. According to the O’Driscoll score, values corresponding to healthy cartilage were not reached after 1 year. Integration of the newly formed cartilage tissue into the surrounding native cartilage was found. The formation of biomechanical stable cartilage began at the edge and progressed towards the centre of the defect. After 1 year this process was still not completed. Microporous β-TCP scaffolds seeded with chondrocytes are suitable for the treatment of osteochondral defects. 相似文献
