ABSTRACT
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumors (OFMTs) are rare mesenchymal neoplasms which typically present in the superficial subcutaneous tissues and have not been reported to arise in visceral organs. We now report 4 molecularly confirmed cases of OFMT involving the genitourinary tract. All patients were males, ranging in age from 20 to 66 years (mean 43 y). One case each arose in the kidney, ureter, perirenal soft tissue, and penis. All neoplasms demonstrated bland epithelioid to spindled cells set in a variably fibrous to fibromyxoid stroma, and only 1 had a peripheral shell of lamellar bone. All cases appeared well-circumscribed on gross/radiologic examination, though the primary renal neoplasm permeated between native renal tubules. By immunohistochemistry, S100 protein was negative in all 4 cases, while desmin was positive in 2 cases. In 2 cases, the Illumina TruSight RNA Fusion Panel demonstrated a PHF1TFE3 and EP400PHF1 fusion, respectively. In the remaining 2 cases, PHF1 gene rearrangement was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. Due to unusual clinical presentation, lack of S100 positivity, and only occasional bone formation, the correct diagnosis was challenging in the absence of molecular testing. In summary, OFMT may rarely present primarily in the genitourinary tract. Given their nonspecific morphology and immunophenotype, molecular analysis is crucial to establish the correct diagnosis.
