[Hereditary leiomyomatosis syndrome associated with renal cell carcinoma. A case report]. / Síndrome de leiomiomatosis hereditaria asociado a carcinoma de células renales. Presentación de un caso.

Hereditary leiomyomatosis (HL) is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome resulting from a mutation in the germline of the fumarate hydratase (FH) gene. Patients with this syndrome have an increased risk of cutaneous and uterine smooth muscle tumors as well as renal cancer. Renal carcinoma associated with hereditary leiomyomatosis (HLRCC) was recognized as a subtype of independent renal tumor in the 2016 WHO classification. We present a case of HLRCC occurring in a 39-year-old man with no family history or specific skin manifestations at the time of diagnosis.

Carcinoma de células renales asociado a amplificación del gen TFEB. Presentación de un caso y revisión de la literatura / TFEB-amplified renal cell carcinoma. A case report and review of the literature

Los carcinomas renales asociados a translocación de factores de transcripción de la familia MiT/TFE incluyen, según la última clasificación de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, carcinomas con translocación Xp11 que involucran al gen TFE3 y carcinomas con translocación t(6;11)(p21;q12) que afectan al gen TFEB. Cada uno de estos subtipos presenta características clinicopatológicas y moleculares bien definidas. Actualmente, con el desarrollo de las técnicas moleculares se han descrito neoplasias con sustento molecular en estos mismos genes, pero con alteraciones distintas a la translocación. En este sentido, recientemente se han publicado carcinomas renales asociados a amplificación de TFEB que presentan diferencias pronósticas a los casos asociados a translocación y que podrían, por tanto, constituir una nueva entidad. Nosotros presentamos un caso de carcinoma renal asociado a amplificación de TFEB, describimos sus características clinicopatológicas y hacemos una revisión actualizada sobre estas neoplasias

Renal carcinomas associated with translocation of transcription factors of the MiT/TFE family include, according to the latest World Health Organization classification, carcinomas with Xp11 translocation that involve the TFE3 gene and those with translocation t(6;11)(p21;q12) that affect the TFEB gene. Each one of these sub-types have well-defined clinicopathological and molecular characteristics. Currently, progress in molecular techniques has led to the description of neoplasms with molecular changes in these same genes but with alterations different to translocation. Thus, recently, cases have been published of TFEB-amplified renal carcinomas with prognoses that vary from cases associated with translocation and could therefore represent a new entity. We present a case of TFEB-amplified renal carcinoma with a full description of the clinicopathological characteristics and an updated revision of these neoplasms

Liposarcoma pleomórfico: estudio molecular de un caso y revisión bibliográfica / Pleomorphic liposarcoma: molecular study of one case and bibliographic review

El liposarcoma pleomórfico es un sarcoma de alto grado que ocurre generalmente en la sexta-séptima décadas de la vida, afecta principalmente a partes blandas profundas de las extremidades inferiores y muestra una amplia variedad de patrones morfológicos, por lo que puede confundirse con otras lesiones tanto adipocíticas como no adipocíticas. La identificación definitiva de lipoblastos pleomórficos, que pueden ser muy escasos, es un requisito indispensable para el diagnóstico, por lo que es recomendable un muestreo amplio del tumor (AU)

Pleomorphic liposarcoma is a high grade sarcoma occurring generally in the sixth to seventh decades of life and mainly affects the deep soft tissue of the lower extremities. As it can show a wide variety of morphologic patterns, it may be confused with other adipocytic and non adipocytic lesions. Definitive identification of pleomorphic lipoblasts is indispensable for diagnosis; however, as they can be very scarce, extensive sampling of the tumor is recommended (AU)

[From tumour to tumour: Metastasis of invasive ductal breast carcinoma to chromophobe renal cell carcinoma]. / Tumor a tumor: metástasis de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama sobre carcinoma de células cromófobas de riñón.

The coexistence of two or more tumours in the same patient is unusual, but even rarer is the metastasis of one tumour to another. Most reports are based on evidence from autopsies; very few refer to surgical specimens. The most common primary tumour is pulmonary carcinoma and most frequent metastatic tumour is renal clear cell carcinoma. We present the case of a 54 year-old female with a past history of infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast with metastases in lung, lymph nodes and bone. Three months previously to her referral to us, she had developed a renal mass and underwent nephrectomy. Histopathology revealed a renal chromophobe cell carcinoma with intratumoral breast cancer metastasis. We describe the histopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular features and review the recent literature.

[Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma in the upper limb: A case report and literature review]. / Hemangioendotelioma pseudomiogénico en miembro superior: descripción de un caso y revisión de la literatura.

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma, also called epithelioid sarcoma-like hemangioendothelioma, is a rare, vascular neoplasm usually with indolent behaviour. It was introduced in the latest World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours of Soft Tissue. We report a case of a 45 year-old patient presenting with a localized, palpable and slightly painful lesion in the left arm. Histologically it consisted of fascicles of spindle and epithelioid cells with ample eosinophilic cytoplasm, without nuclear pleomorphism or significant mitotic activity. Tumour cells showed diffuse expression for cytokeratin AE1/AE3, CD31 and FLI1, intact expression for INI1 and negativity for CD34. We describe the clinical, histological, molecular and immunohistochemical features of pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma and review the pertinent literature.

Fluorescence guided resection with 5-aminolevulinic acid of a pilomyxoid astrocytoma of the third ventricle / Resección guiada por fluorescencia con ácido 5-aminolevulínico de un astrocitoma pilomixoide del tercer ventrículo

Fluorescence-guided resection with 5-aminolevulinic acid has been shown to be useful in the resection of certain brain tumors other than high grade gliomas, facilitating the intraoperative differentiation of neoplastic tissue. The technique enables the surgeon to ensure that no tumor fragments remain, thereby achieving higher rates of complete resection. Tihan first described pilomyxoid astrocytomas in 1999. They are currently classified as grade II astrocytoma according to the WHO classification system and, because of their tendency to recur and their dissemination through the cerebrospinal fluid pathways, they are considered to be more aggressive than pilocytic astrocytoma. As a result, management of these tumors must be more aggressive, always aiming for complete macroscopic resection whenever possible. In this article, we present a case of pilomyxoid astrocytoma of the third ventricle in which the use of fluorescence-guided resection with 5-ALA facilitated complete resection. Imaging tests performed after five years revealed no signs of recurrence and no adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy was required. This article also comprises a review of the literature concerning the characteristics and management of this tumor, which was recently considered to be a different histopathological entity

La resección guiada por fluorescencia con 5-ALA se ha mostrado útil en tumores diferentes a los gliomas de alto grado, permitiendo la diferenciación intraoperatoria del tejido tumoral. La técnica permite revisar el lecho quirúrgico para comprobar que no quedan fragmentos tumorales, consiguiéndose así mejorar las tasas de resección completa. El astrocitoma pilomixoide, descrito en 1999 por Tihan, se clasifica actualmente como un astrocitoma grado II en la clasificación de la OMS y es considerado como una variante con mayor agresividad que el astrocitoma pilocítico por su tendencia a la recidiva y a la diseminación por el líquido cefalorraquídeo. Por ello el tratamiento debe ser más agresivo, fundamentado en una resección macroscópicamente completa siempre que se pueda. En este artículo presentamos el caso de un astrocitoma pilomixoide del tercer ventrículo en el que la fluorescencia con 5-ALA permitió una resección completa, sin signos de recidiva en pruebas de imagen a los 5 años, sin haber precisado tratamiento complementario con radioterapia ni quimioterapia. Se hace además una revisión de la literatura acerca de las características y el manejo de este tumor recientemente considerado como una entidad histopatológica diferente

Hemangioendotelioma pseudomiogénico en miembro superior: descripción de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma in the upper limb: a case report and literature review

El hemangioendotelioma pseudomiogénico, también conocido como hemangioendotelioma tipo sarcoma epitelioide, es una neoplasia vascular infrecuente de comportamiento habitualmente indolente introducida en la última clasificación de tumores de partes blandas de la clasificación de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS). Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 45años con una lesión localizada en el miembro superior izquierdo. Clínicamente se presentó como una lesión palpable y discretamente dolorosa. Histológicamente estaba constituida por fascículos de células fusiformes y células de aspecto epitelioide con amplio citoplasma eosinófilo sin pleomorfismo nuclear ni actividad mitótica significativa. Las células tumorales mostraron expresión fuerte y difusa para citoqueratina AE1/AE3, CD31 y FLI1, manteniendo la expresión nuclear de INI1 y existiendo negatividad para CD34. En el presente artículo revisamos la literatura médica sobre esta entidad y describimos sus características clínicas, histológicas, inmunohistoquímicas y moleculares (AU)

Tumor a tumor: metástasis de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama sobre carcinoma de células cromófobas de riñón / From tumour to tumour: metastasis of invasive ductal breast carcinoma to chromophobe renal cell carcinoma

La coexistencia de 2 o más tumores en un paciente es un hecho poco frecuente y más infrecuentes son las metástasis de tumor a tumor. La mayoría de las publicaciones incluyen hallazgos autópsicos y, en menor número, hallazgos en piezas quirúrgicas-biopsias. El origen primario más frecuente es el carcinoma de pulmón, siendo el receptor más frecuente el carcinoma de células claras renal. Describimos el caso de una paciente de 54años con historia remota de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama derecha, que presentó en el transcurso afectación metastásica a nivel pulmonar, ganglionar, óseo y hace 3 meses una lesión en riñón derecho. Se sometió a nefrectomía. El estudio anatomopatológico reveló un carcinoma renal de células cromófobas con metástasis intratumoral de carcinoma ductal infiltrante de mama. Se describen los hallazgos histológicos, inmunohistoquímicos y moleculares, con revisión de la literatura reciente (AU)

Tumor híbrido de la vaina del nervio periférico de localización digital con componente neurofibroma-perineuroma. Descripción de un caso y revisión de la literatura / Digital hybrid peripheral nerve sheath tumour with neurofibroma-perineurioma components: a case report and review of the literature

El tumor híbrido de vaina de nervio periférico es una neoplasia mesenquimal benigna de la que se han publicado pocos casos, que ha sido incluida recientemente en la clasificación de la OMS de partes blandas, y que muestra una amplia distribución, afectando predominantemente a extremidades y tronco. Los hallazgos histológicos revelan la presencia de 2 o más componentes celulares diferentes originados en la vaina del nervio periférico con una proporción variable de neurofibroma, schwannoma y perineuroma. Describimos el caso de un paciente varón de 65 años de edad con un nódulo no doloroso en el quinto dedo de mano izquierda, que presenta componentes de neurofibroma y perineuroma. Describimos los hallazgos histológicos e inmunohistoquímicos reportados en la literatura más reciente acerca de este tumor peculiar y poco reconocido (AU)

Hybrid peripheral nerve sheath tumour is a rare mesenchymal benign neoplasm recently included in the WHO classification of soft tissue tumours. It has a wide distribution but predominantly affects limbs and trunk. Histological findings reveal the presence of 2 or more cellular components originating in the peripheral nerve sheath with variable proportions of neurofibroma, schwannoma and perineurioma. We report a case of a 65-year-old male with a painless nodule in the 5th finger of his left hand which showed microscopic features of neurofibroma and perineurioma. We review the histological and immunohistochemical findings of this unusual, and often over-looked, tumour in the recent literature (AU)
