RESUMEN

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma has been recognized as a distinct entity in the World Health Organization classification of hematolymphoid neoplasms. These neoplasms are causally related to textured implants that were used worldwide until recently. Consequently, there is an increased demand for processing periprosthetic capsules, adding new challenges for surgeons, clinicians, and pathologists. In the literature, the focus has been on breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma; however, benign complications related to the placement of breast implants occur in up to 20% to 30% of patients. Imaging studies are helpful in assessing patients with breast implants for evidence of implant rupture, changes in tissues surrounding the implants, or regional lymphadenopathy related to breast implants, but pathologic examination is often required. In this review, we couple our experience with a review of the literature to describe a range of benign lesions associated with breast implants that can be associated with different clinical presentations or pathogenesis and that may require different diagnostic approaches. We illustrate the spectrum of the most common of these benign disorders, highlighting their clinical, imaging, gross, and microscopic features. Finally, we propose a systematic approach for the diagnosis and handling of breast implant specimens in general.

RESUMEN

Germline and somatic pathogenic variants (PVs) in DICER1 , encoding a miRNA biogenesis protein, are associated with a wide variety of highly specific pathologic entities. The lung tumors pleuropulmonary blastoma, pulmonary blastoma (PB), and well-differentiated fetal lung adenocarcinoma (WDFLAC) are all known to harbor DICER1 biallelic variants (loss of function and/or somatic hotspot missense mutations), and all share pathologic features reminiscent of the immature lung. However, the role of DICER1 PVs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is relatively unknown. Here, we aimed to establish the spectrum of lung pathologies associated with DICER1 hotspot PVs and to compare the mutational landscape of DICER1 -mutated NSCLC with and without hotspots. We queried DNA sequencing data from 12,146 NSCLCs featuring somatic DICER1 variants. 235 (1.9%) cases harboring ≥ 1 DICER1 PV were found and 9/235 (3.8%) were DICER1 hotspot-positive cases. Histologic review of DICER1 hotspot-positive cases showed that all but one tumor were classified as within the histologic spectrum of PB/WDFLAC, whereas all the DICER1 non-hotspot double variants were classified as lung adenocarcinomas, not otherwise specified. Comparison between the mutational landscape of DICER1 hotspot-positive and hotspot-negative cases revealed a higher frequency of CTNNB1 mutations in the hotspot-positive cases (5/9 vs. 2/225; P <0.00001). We conclude that DICER1 somatic hotspots are not implicated in the most common forms of NSCLC but rather select for morphologic features of lung tumor types such as PB and WDFLAC. As a corollary, cases showing this tumor morphology should undergo testing for DICER1 variants, and if positive, genetic counseling should be considered.

RESUMEN

Soft tissue sarcomas harboring EWSR1::CREM fusion are rare and challenging to treat. Pazopanib, a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is FDA-approved for advanced soft tissue sarcomas, but predictive biomarkers for its efficacy remain unidentified. We conducted a study on > 240,000 neoplasms submitted to Caris Life Sciences (Phoenix, AZ) to detect rearrangements using whole transcriptome sequencing. Two sarcoma-experienced, board-certified pathologists performed histological reviews, and treatment/outcome information was collected. Among the identified cases (n = 18), we observed a diverse range of sarcoma and other cancers, including an intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumor, mesothelioma, hyalinizing clear cell carcinomas of the head and neck, clear cell sarcomas, and undifferentiated round cell sarcomas, as well as histologically malignant tumors with epithelioid morphology. Notably, two undifferentiated, metastatic, abdominal round cell sarcoma cases treated with pazopanib demonstrated significant sustained partial response and clinical benefit. To explore the genetic factors associated with the efficacy of pazopanib in these cases, next-generation sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization were analyzed for alterations in the tumors. The genomic analysis provided compelling evidence confirming the presence of EWSR1::CREM fusion in both cases, with no other pathogenic gene variants or copy number alterations detected. These cases demonstrate the potential of Pazopanib as a promising therapeutic option for patients with EWSR1::CREM fusion-positive soft tissue sarcomas, including metastatic undifferentiated round cell sarcomas. The sustained clinical benefit and partial responses observed in these cases warrant further research to validate these findings and explore the wider utility of Pazopanib in this rare and challenging subset of soft tissue sarcomas. Case studies: Case 1: A 49-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, weight loss, and chronic cough. A computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis showed multiple lung nodules and masses and a right rectus mass that was biopsied and revealed an undifferentiated round cell sarcoma with a rare fusion EWSR1-CREM. No additional pathogenic gene variants or copy number alterations were detected. He received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with three cycles of Vincristine, Adriamycin, and Ifosfamide (VAI) and seven cycles of Vincristine/Irinotecan and Temodar (VIT). After cycle 7 of VIT, he had surgical resection of the abdominal mass and received radiation for lung metastasis. He completed 13 cycles of VIT after which he presented with progression of disease and switched to monotherapy with Pazopanib. At the time of this analysis he had stable disease for 28 months. Case 2: A 75-year-old woman presented with pelvic pain and new onset constipation. CT abdomen showed a large pelvic mass and intraperitoneal tumor spread. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a ruptured pelvic mass and a small bowel tumor. Both tumors were proved to be high-grade, poorly differentiated sarcoma. Genomic analysis demonstrated an EWSR1::CREM fusion but no other pathogenic gene variants or copy number alterations. She was treated initially for a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) with four cycles of Vincristine/Adriamycin/Cytoxan/Olaratumab but declined additional chemotherapy after progression. Two years later, she presented with recurrent abdominal mass and received one cycle of Temodar/Irinotecan, then she began Pozapanib and underwent palliative radiation to the entire pelvis. She has been on Pazopanib for 23 months with stable disease.

RESUMEN

AIMS: The identification of haemophagocytosis in bone marrow (BM) is recurrently identified in patients with severe COVID-19. These initial COVID-19 autopsy studies have afforded valuable insight into the pathophysiology of this disease; however, only a limited number of case series have focused on lymphoid or haematopoietic tissues. METHODS: BM and lymph node (LN) specimens were obtained from adult autopsies performed between 1 April 2020 and 1 June 2020, for which the decedent had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Tissue sections (H&E, CD3, CD20, CD21, CD138, CD163, MUM1, kappa/lambda light chains in situ hybridisation) were examined by two haematopathologists, who recorded morphological features in a blinded fashion. Haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) was assessed based on HLH 2004 criteria. RESULTS: The BM demonstrated a haemophagocytic pattern in 9 out of 25 patients (36%). The HLH pattern was associated with longer hospitalisation, BM plasmacytosis, LN follicular hyperplasia and lower aspartate aminotransferase (AST), as well as ferritin at demise. LN examination showed increased plasmacytoid cells in 20 of 25 patients (80%). This pattern was associated with a low absolute monocyte count at diagnosis, lower white cell count and lower absolute neutrophil count at demise, and lower ferritin and AST at demise. CONCLUSIONS: Autopsy results demonstrate distinct morphological patterns in BM, with or without haemophagocytic macrophages, and in LN, with or without increased plasmacytoid cells. Since only a minority of patients met diagnostic criteria for HLH, the observed BM haemophagocytic macrophages may be more indicative of an overall inflammatory state.

RESUMEN

Collagenous gastritis has been reported as a rare cause of nausea, diarrhea, weight changes, and early satiety in female patients. Here, we describe two women aged 43 and 71 years who presented with similar symptoms. Gastric biopsies from both individuals showed thickened, irregular subepithelial collagen bands (>10 µm). The pathogenesis of collagenous gastritis is poorly understood, but it may be the presenting symptom for many underlying autoimmune conditions. In particular, there is a well-established connection between collagenous disorders of the gastrointestinal tract and celiac sprue, Sjögren syndrome, and lymphocytic colitis; however, none of these conditions had been diagnosed in our patients. The older woman had incidentally discovered hypogammaglobinemia and IgA deficiency, whereas the younger woman suffered from fibromyalgia. Although a gluten-free diet and budesonide have been effective in some cases, there is no standardized therapy for collagenous gastritis. Our patients trialed diet modification and have required no additional medical interventions.

RESUMEN

Lymphoid aggregates are found in a minority of bone marrow biopsy and aspirate specimens, and when present, the distinction between benign and malignant aggregates can represent a diagnostic challenge. Morphologic and immunophenotypic evaluation of the aggregates can aid in that distinction but in a few cases, detection of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) and kappa light chain (IGK) gene rearrangements may be needed to rule in or out a malignant disease process. We studied the role of testing for IGH/IGK rearrangements in the distinction between benign and malignant B cell-predominant lymphoid aggregates. Only a few studies have addressed this issue and most lacked an adequate number of cases for establishing statistical significance. Our study retrospectively evaluated 120 bone marrow aspirate and biopsy specimens, 79 cases originally diagnosed with benign lymphoid aggregates [4,5], and 41 demonstrating a B-cell lymphoma with malignant aggregates. Immunohistochemical stains were performed on all cases in our study and flow cytometry results were available in the vast majority of cases (98%). All patients included in our study but 9 had at least 2 years of clinical follow-up information. Of the malignant lymphoma cases, IGH/IGK rearrangements were demonstrated by polymerase chain reaction in 60% of the cases. Moreover, clonal rearrangements were identified in 15% of the cases with benign aggregates. After at least 2 years of follow-up, only one case with a positive clonality study occurring in the setting of morphologically benign-appearing bone marrow lymphoid aggregates experienced a relapse of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Molecular analysis of the IGH and IGK genes may have utility in confirming the presence of malignancy in bone marrow aspirates and biopsy specimens. False-negative results, however, are possible due to testing limitations and sampling issues. Moreover, patients with conditions such as autoimmune disorders or infectious diseases are shown to also develop clonal B-cell lymphoid aggregates. As a result, we recommend a thorough morphological examination, informative immunohistochemical staining, accurate flow cytometric analysis, and current IGH/IGK rearrangement testing when evaluating bone marrow specimens containing B cell-predominant lymphoid aggregates, with the knowledge that molecular clonality results should be carefully interpreted in the context of morphological and immunophenotypic findings to prevent misdiagnosis.

RESUMEN

Individuals with Down syndrome are at decreased risk of developing most types of solid tumors, including central nervous system malignancies. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain how additional genetic material on chromosome 21 may confer this increased protection. Only two individuals with Down syndrome and meningioma have been described in the medical literature, whose tumors were both World Health Organization (WHO) grade 1. Here, we report the first individual with Down syndrome to our knowledge who developed an atypical meningioma, WHO grade 2. We also provide a hypothesis for how this tumor could have arisen in the setting of trisomy 21.

RESUMEN

Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is an exceedingly rare presentation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), with no consensus on the optimal therapy. Here we describe a 71-year-old man with a skull-base leptomeningeal mass consistent with SLL on biopsy. Malignant cells were observed in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), but not in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, or other extramedullary sites. Molecular analysis of the patient's disease by next generation sequencing (NGS) detected no pathogenic mutations in 111 genes, with the exception of two low allele frequency variants identified during deep NGS analysis of TP53. The patient was treated with six cycles of high-dose methotrexate and systemic/intrathecal rituximab followed by venetoclax monotherapy, with complete resolution of CSF disease and radiographic decrease in size of the skull base lesion.

RESUMEN

Primary bone marrow diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is an exceedingly rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It may demonstrate a leukemic presentation, and a proportion of cases have CD5 expression. The prognostic implications of this CD5-positivity remain unknown. Here, we present a 78-year-old man who presented with circulating peripheral blood lymphoma cells and a hypercellular marrow involved by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, germinal center B-cell subtype. The patient responded favorably to six cycles of etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab (EPOCH-R) and intrathecal methotrexate. He unfortunately relapsed in several enlarged inguinal lymph nodes and succumbed to the lymphoma approximately one year after diagnosis, demonstrating the particularly aggressive clinical course of his disease.

RESUMEN

Breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a T-cell neoplasm arising around textured breast implants that was recognized recently as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization. Rarely, other types of lymphoma have been reported in patients with breast implants, raising the possibility of a pathogenetic relationship between breast implants and other types of lymphoma. We report eight cases of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive large B-cell lymphoma associated with breast implants. One of these cases was invasive, and the other seven neoplasms were noninvasive and showed morphologic overlap with breast implant ALCL. All eight cases expressed B-cell markers, had a non-germinal center B-cell immunophenotype, and were EBV+ with a latency type III pattern of infection. We compared the noninvasive EBV+ large B-cell lymphoma cases with a cohort of breast implant ALCL cases matched for clinical and pathologic stage. The EBV+ large B-cell lymphoma cases more frequently showed a thicker capsule, and more often were associated with calcification and prominent lymphoid aggregates outside of the capsule. The EBV+ B-cell lymphoma cells were more often arranged within necrotic fibrinoid material in a layered pattern. We believe that this case series highlights many morphologic similarities between EBV+ large B-cell lymphoma and breast implant ALCL. The data presented suggest a pathogenetic role for breast implants (as well as EBV) in the pathogenesis of EBV+ large B-cell lymphoma. We also provide some histologic findings useful for distinguishing EBV+ large B-cell lymphoma from breast implant ALCL in this clinical setting.

RESUMEN

Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinctive type of T-cell lymphoma that arises around textured-surface breast implants. In a subset of patients, this disease can involve surrounding tissues, spread to regional lymph nodes, and rarely metastasize to distant sites. The aim of this study was to assess sequential pathologic specimens from patients with breast implant-associated ALCL to better understand the natural history of early-stage disease. To achieve this goal, we searched our files for patients who had breast implant-associated ALCL and who had undergone earlier surgical intervention with assessment of biopsy or cytologic specimens. We then focused on the patient subset in whom a definitive diagnosis was not established, and patients did not receive current standard-of-care therapy at that time. We identified a study group of ten patients with breast implant-associated ALCL in whom pathologic specimens were collected 0.5 to 4 years before a definitive diagnosis was established. A comparison of these serial biopsy specimens showed persistent disease without change in pathologic stage in three patients, progression in five patients, and persistence versus progression in two patients. Eventually, six patients underwent implant removal with complete capsulectomy and four underwent partial capsulectomy. Seven patients also received chemotherapy because of invasive disease, three of whom also received radiation therapy, two brentuximab vedotin after chemotherapy failure, and one allogeneic stem cell transplant. Eight patients achieved complete remission and two had partial remission after definitive therapy. At time of last follow-up, six patients were alive without disease, one had evidence of disease, one died of disease, and two patients died of unrelated cancers. In summary, this analysis of sequential specimens from patients with breast implant-associated ALCL suggests these neoplasms persist or progress over time if not treated with standard-of-care therapy.

RESUMEN

An extramedullary plasmacytoma involving the gastrointestinal tract is extremely rare. We report an appendiceal extramedullary plasmacytoma in a 35-year-old man who presented to the emergency department because of upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) imaging revealed an incidental mass (3.7 × 1.9 × 1.6 cm) at the tip of the appendix. Microscopically, the appendix, periappendiceal soft tissue, and nearby lymph nodes were diffusely infiltrated by plasma cells that were kappa light chain restricted. Subsequent workup included an unremarkable bone marrow biopsy, as well as urine and serum electrophoresis. A diagnosis of kappa-restricted solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma was made. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported of an appendiceal extramedullary plasmacytoma in the medical literature.

RESUMEN

Since the first reported case in 1997, over 600 women with breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI ALCL) have been reported. BI ALCL is a CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma that carries clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangements, and a subset of cases harbors mutations in the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Rarely, other histologic types of lymphoma have been reported in association with breast implants, including fewer than 10 cases of B-cell origin. Here, we describe three additional patients with B-cell lymphoma occurring around breast implants. Two of these patients developed extranodal marginal zone lymphoma in the peri-implant capsule, one of which had a concurrent ALCL within the superficial lining of the capsule. The third patient presented with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma inside the breast parenchyma surrounding her implant. Determining the etiology and risk factors for the development of B-cell lymphomas associated with breast implants remains challenging, given the wide spectrum of histologic features and the rarity of these neoplasms. Ultimately, we document three new cases of B-cell lymphoma arising around breast implants and highlight their clinical and pathologic features in order to expand our understanding of this rare disease presentation.

RESUMEN

The current literature credits Keech and Creech with the first report of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) in 1997. Here we discuss what we consider is the first ever description of BIA-ALCL, a recently recognized entity by the WHO. We unearthed the description of a patient that was diagnosed with primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), surrounding a breast implant in 1996. In light of the current state of knowledge, we evaluated the evidence presented in 1996 and consider that BIA-ALCL is a more appropriate diagnosis rather than PEL. We base our proposal on the following features: 1). clinical presentation of effusion around a breast implant, 2). occurring in an HIV negative patient, 3). absence of EBV co-infection, and 4). a historically questionable demonstration of HHV8. In effect we further support that HHV8 is not related with BIA-ALCL based on the following facts: 1). An extensive review of the literature did not disclose a similar case in the next 24 years, 2). Use of state of the art HHV8 by immunohistochemistry did not disclose any positive case among 30 randomly tested cases. We believe this matter is of importance because in the current WHO, the assertion that PEL is a possible complication of breast implants may lead to a diagnosis with poor prognosis and susceptible of morbidity related with aggressive therapy, in contrast with BIA-ALCL that can be cured with surgery alone.

RESUMEN

Breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma is an entity recently recognized by the World Health Organization. The tumor arises around textured-surface breast implants and is usually confined to the surrounding fibrous capsule. Currently, there are no recommendations for handling and sampling of capsules from patients with suspected breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma without a grossly identifiable tumor. We analyzed complete capsulectomies without distinct gross lesions from patients with breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma. The gross appearance of the capsules as well as the presence, extent and depth of tumor cells on the luminal side and number of sections involved by lymphoma were determined by review of routine stains and CD30 immunohistochemistry. We then used a mathematical model that included the extent of tumor cells and number of positive sections to calculate the minimum number of sections required to identify 95% of randomly distributed lesions. We identified 50 patients with breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma who had complete capsulectomies. The implants were textured in all 32 (100%) cases with available information. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma was found in 44/50 (88%) capsules; no tumor was found in six (12%) patients who had lymphoma cells only in the effusion. The median number of sections reviewed was 20 (range, 2-240), the median percentage of sections involved by tumor was 6% (range, 0-90%), and the median percentage of sections involved by lymphoma was 10% (range, 0-90%). Invasion deep into or through the capsule was identified in 18/50 (36%) patients. In patients with breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma without a grossly identifiable tumor we identified a spectrum of involvement and we propose a protocol for handling, sampling and reporting these cases. The number of sections to exclude the presence of lymphoma with more than 95% certainty was supported by a mathematic rationale.
