骨软化或佝偻病相关的间叶组织肿瘤临床病理分析

目的 探讨骨软化或佝偻病相关的间叶组织肿瘤的临床病理特点。方法 回顾分析10例患者的临床资料,观察10例骨软化相关的肿瘤组织的形态和免疫表型[免疫组织化学SP法染色,所用抗体包括波形蛋白、S-100、平滑肌肌动蛋白（SMA）、结蛋白、CD34、AE1／AE3、Ki-67、HMB45]。结果 患者男性6例,女性4例,年龄范围28～69岁（平均45．6岁）;患者均有2～27年（平均9．6年）骨痛、关节痛和活动困难的病史,检查发现低血磷、高尿磷;肿瘤最大径1～7cm不等（平均3．5cm）;瘤组织为间叶组织来源（仅2例颌骨病变中见不明显的条索状上皮）,可见多少不等的梭形纤维母细胞样细胞、脂肪细胞、软骨样细胞、黏液样细胞等,瘤组织富于血管,8例病变中有少见的絮状或不规则砂砾样钙盐沉积,2例发生于软组织的肿瘤周边见骨壳形成。3例组织中可见非尿酸盐结晶：9例细胞分裂象少见,1例核分裂象多见并且异型性明显;瘤细胞波形蛋白阳性,5例SMA部分阳性,3例CD34部分瘤细胞阳性,结蛋白、S-100、AE1／AE3均阴性,Ki-67指数（8例≤4％,仅1例为30％）;AB／PAS染色：8例肿瘤黏液基质和血管周围黏液样变呈AB染色阳性。结论 骨软化相关的肿瘤多为良性或低度恶性的间叶组织肿瘤,因组织学具有多样性而易误诊,掌握其共性特征并结合临床资料方能正确诊断。

Clinicopathologic study of 10 cases of osteomalacia or rickets-associated mesenchymal tumors

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinicopathologic features of osteomalacia or rickets-associated mesenchymal tumors. METHODS: The clinical and pathologic findings of 10 cases of osteomalacia or rickets-associated mesenchymal tumors were evaluated. Hematoxylin and eosin stain, immunohistochemistry and histochemistry were performed on the archival paraffin sections. RESULTS: Amongst the 10 patients studied, 6 were males and 4 were females. Their age at the time of operation ranged from 28 to 69 years ( mean = 45.6 years). A history of long-standing bone pain, arthralgia, limitation in movement, hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia was present in all cases. The duration of symptoms ranged from 2 to 27 years (mean = 9.6 years). The tumor size ranged from 1 to 7 cm (mean size = 3.52 cm). Microscopically, the tumors were composed of various mesenchymal cells, including spindled fibroblast-like cells, adipocytes, chondroid cells and mucinous cells. The background was rich in blood vessels. In 8 of the 10 cases, there was also dystrophic calcification in an unusual flocculent or "grungy" pattern. Peripheral woven bone shell formation was noted in 2 cases and non-urate crystal deposition in 2 cases. Mitotic figures were rare in 9 cases. In 1 of the 10 cases however, mitotic figures and bizarre cells were commonly encountered. On immunohistochemical study, the tumor cells were all positive for vimentin. There was focal positivity for smooth muscle actin and CD34 in 5 and 3 cases respectively. The staining for desmin, S-100 and AE1/AE3 was negative. Ki-67 proliferation index was less than 4% in 8 cases and 30% in 1 case. Alcian blue-positive mucinous matrix and mucinous degeneration around vessels were noted in 8 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Most of the osteomalacia or rickets-associated tumors are either benign or low-grade malignant mesenchymal tumors. They can be mistaken as other neoplasms due to the morphologic heterogeneity present. Thorough understanding of the associated clinical features and laboratory investigation results is helpful in arriving at the correct diagnosis.
