RESUMO

Composite hemangioendothelioma is a rare, locally aggressive, and rarely metastasizing vascular neoplasm which affects both children and adults. Recently, a number of gene fusions including YAP1::MAML2, PTBP1::MAML2, and EPC1::PHC2 have been detected in a small subset of cases with or without neuroendocrine expression. Herein, we present four additional cases with novel in-frame fusions. The cohort comprises two females and two males with a wide age range at diagnosis (24-80 years). Two tumors were deep involving the right brachial plexus and mediastinum, while the remaining were superficial (right plantar foot and abdominal wall). The size ranged from 1.5 to 4.8 cm in greatest dimension. Morphologically, all tumors had an admixture of at least two architectural patterns including retiform hemangioendothelioma, hemangioma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, or angiosarcoma. The tumors were positive for endothelial markers CD31 (3/3), ERG (4/4), and D2-40 (1/4, focal), while SMA was expressed in 2/3 highlighting the surrounding pericytes. Synaptophysin showed immunoreactivity in 2/3 cases. One patient had a local recurrence after 40 months, while two patients had no evidence of disease 4 months post-resection. Targeted RNA sequencing detected novel in-frame fusions in each of the cases: HSPG2::FGFR1, YAP1::FOXR1, ACTB::MAML2, and ARID1B::MAML2. The two cases with neuroendocrine expression occurred as superficial lesions and harbored YAP1::FOXR1 and ARID1B::MAML2 fusions. Our study expands on the molecular spectrum of this enigmatic tumor, further enhancing our current understanding of the disease.

RESUMO

The Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) in kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is characterized by life-threatening thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. This study compared the efficacy and safety of sirolimus plus prednisolone vs sirolimus monotherapy as treatment strategies for KHE with KMP in the largest cohort to date. Participants were randomized to receive either sirolimus in combination with a short course of prednisolone or sirolimus monotherapy for at least 12 months. The primary outcome was defined as achievement of a durable platelet response (platelet count >100 × 109/L) at week 4. Participants completed efficacy assessments 2 years after the initial treatment. At week 4, a durable platelet response was achieved by 35 of 37 patients given sirolimus and prednisolone compared with 24 of 36 patients given sirolimus monotherapy (difference 27.9%; 95% confidence interval, 10.0-44.7). Compared with the sirolimus monotherapy group, the combination treatment group showed improvements in terms of measures of durable platelet responses at all points during the initial 3-week treatment period, median platelet counts during weeks 1 to 4, increased numbers of patients achieving fibrinogen stabilization at week 4, and objective lesion responses at month 12. Patients receiving combination therapy had fewer blood transfusions and a lower total incidence of disease sequelae than patients receiving sirolimus alone. The frequencies of total adverse events and grade 3-4 adverse events during treatment were similar in both groups. The responses seen in patients with KHE with KMP were profound and encouraging, suggesting that sirolimus plus prednisolone should be considered a valid treatment of KHE with KMP. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03188068.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma (TA) are rare vascular tumors in children historically associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study was conducted to determine first-line therapy in the absence of available prospective clinical trials. METHODS: Patients from 17 institutions diagnosed with KHE/TA between 2005 and 2020 with more than 6 months of follow-up were included. Response rates to sirolimus and vincristine were compared at 3 and 6 months. Durability of response and response to other treatment modalities were also evaluated. RESULTS: Of 159 unique KHE/TA subjects, Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) was present in 64 (40.3%), and only two patients were deceased (1.3%). Over 60% (n = 96) demonstrated treatment response at 3 months, and more than 70% (n = 114) by 6 months (no significant difference across groups). The vincristine group had higher radiologic response at 3 months compared to sirolimus (72.7% vs. 20%, p = .03), but there were no differences between these groups at 6 months. There were no differences in rates of recurrent or progressive disease between vincristine and sirolimus. CONCLUSIONS: In this large, multicenter cohort of 159 patients with KHE/TA, rates of KMP were consistent with historical literature, but the mortality rate (1.3%) was much lower. Overall treatment response rates were high (>70%), and there was no significant difference in treatment response or durability of disease comparing sirolimus to vincristine. Our results support individualized treatment decision plans depending on clinical scenario and patient/physician preferences. Response criteria and response rates reported here will be useful for guiding future treatment protocols for vascular tumors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is characterized by profound thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy associated with vascular tumors, such as Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE). The pathogenesis of KMP remains unclear and its treatment is challenging. In this study, we tried to establish an animal model of KMP, which may facilitate the research on the etiology and new treatment. METHODS: A fresh sample of KHE from a one-month-old female infant with KMP was scissored into pieces and transplanted subcutaneously into the back of the nude mice. Blood routine examination was performed before the transplantation and 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after the transplantation. Transplanted tumors were harvested 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks after the transplantation. H-E staining, immunohistochemistry staining of cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and ultrastructural observation were performed on the plugs. RESULTS: Blood test showed a significant decrease in the number of platelets 2 weeks after transplantation. The number of platelets showed an overall trend of recovery from 2 weeks despite a slight decrease at 12 weeks after transplantation. There was no significant difference in the platelet count at 16 weeks after transplantation compared with the original state. H-E staining showed abundant irregular blood sinuses in the transplanted tumors with plenty of blood cells 2 weeks after the transplantation. 4, 8, and 12 weeks after transplantation, the density of blood sinuses decreased progressively. 16 weeks after transplantation, the plugs involuted into fibrous tissue. Immunohistochemistry staining showed the positive expression of CD31 in the endothelial cells and α-SMA in the perivascular cells. Ultrastructural observation also showed the features of KHE and progressive evolution of the tumors. CONCLUSIONS: We successfully established an experimental model of KMP by the xenograft of KHE in nude mice, which manifested profound thrombocytopenia and typical pathological structure.

RESUMO

Vascular tumors are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the skin and subcutis, and they encompass a heterogeneous group with diverse clinical, histological, and molecular features, as well as biological behavior. Over the past two decades, molecular studies have enabled the identification of pathogenic recurrent genetic alterations that can be used as additional data points to support the correct classification of these lesions. The purpose of this review is to summarize the available data related to superficially located benign and low-grade vascular neoplasms and to highlight recent molecular advances with the role of surrogate immunohistochemistry to target pathogenic proteins as diagnostic biomarkers.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular neoplasm affecting infants or young children. KHE includes a spectrum of lesions, ranging from small and superficial tumors to large and invasive lesions with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP). Currently, no published studies have reported a KHE presenting as thrombocytopenia and Raynaud phenomenon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-year-old boy with right hand swelling and thrombocytopenia was admitted to our hospital. His right hand turned swelling and red, even occasionally cyanotic. This condition became worse in response to cool environments and improved with warming, and platelet counts were between 50 ~ 80 × 10^9/L. Physical examination on admission revealed the swelling and frostbite-like rash of the right-hand fingers, and the skin temperature of the right hand was lower than the left. On day 3 of admission, chest CT results showed an irregular mass on the right side of the spine. The puncture biopsy demonstrated positive CD31, D2-40, and FLI1 immunohistochemical staining, but negative GLUT1 staining, confirming the diagnosis of KHE. Furthermore, endothelin-1 (ET1) expression levels significantly increased, and eNOS and A20 expression levels significantly decreased comparing with control patients. The patient received methylprednisolone and sirolimus treatments, and his condition gradually improved during the follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: We reported the first case of KHE presenting with thrombocytopenia and Raynaud phenomenon. The development of Raynaud phenomenon could be associated with increased ET-1 and reduced eNOS and A20 expressions. Careful differential diagnosis of hidden KHE should be considered in children with thrombocytopenia and Raynaud phenomenon.

RESUMO

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma (PMH) is a rare vascular tumor that occurs in young mostly male patients. Seventy percent of PMH cases are multifocal and 25% involve bones. PMH is an indolent tumor with mild local aggressiveness and an unclear pathology. Only two cases of spontaneous regressive bone PMH have been reported. Here, we report the case of a 17-year-old boy with a multifocal bone PMH diagnosed from a chronic pain in his left knee. The PMH affected the right scapula, both humeri, the right olecranon, the second metacarpal bone, the second and fourth right ribs, the thoracic and lumbar spine, the pelvic ring, the left and right femoral neck, and the left patella. Every lesion presented with a lobulated, lytic pattern, sometimes with a peripheral sclerotic rim. MRI showed a tissue lesion with a low intensity on T1-weighted sequences and high intensity on T2-weighted sequences. Enhancement of T1 gadolinium fat-saturated sequences was bright. After discussion, a national specialized board decided to actively monitor the patient and start general chemotherapy in the case of progression. The disease was stable at 3 and 6 months and showed signs of regression at 1 year, which was further confirmed at 2 years. CT scan and MRI highlighted a progressive filling of the tumor with cancellous bone and a regression of the tissue contingent. This case report highlights to a new therapeutic approach for indolent PMH that does not prevent further treatment in the case of progression.

RESUMO

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma is a rare tumour of vascular origin that rarely occurs in the heart. We provided a rare case of a 26-day-old infant with tachypnoea. Echocardiography showed a solid tumour in the pericardial cavity and a large amount of pericardial effusion. The solid tumour was confirmed by surgery, and the pathology was kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. We analysed this case and reviewed the related literature to explore the clinical features and echocardiographic manifestations to improve the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease for clinicians and sonographers.

RESUMO

Composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE) displaying neuroendocrine differentiation is a rare histologic variant that is often mistaken for angiosarcoma, having a predilection for visceral locations and being associated with an aggressive clinical course. Their pathogenesis is still evolving, with only two cases to date from separate studies reporting a recurrent PTBP1-MAML2 fusion. Herein, we report two new cases of neuroendocrine CHE harboring PTBP1-MAML2 fusions occurring in two elderly patients (70-year-old male and 71-year-old female), both involving neck lymph nodes. The first case presented with multifocal cervical lymphadenopathy, while the second case occurred unifocally in an enlarged neck lymph node. Histologically, the tumors displayed heterogenous architectural patterns with areas reminiscent of benign cavernous hemangioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, and angiosarcoma. Cytologically, the cells were monotonous with round to ovoid nuclei, open to fine chromatin, scant to moderate cytoplasm, and frequent vacuolization. In addition, the first case showed focal solid areas of large epithelioid cells with severe nuclear atypia, enlarged nuclei and prominent nucleoli, resembling epithelioid angiosarcoma. Tumor cells were diffusely positive for vascular markers and focally positive for synaptophysin. In both cases, a next-generation sequencing fusion panel confirmed an in-frame fusion between PTBP1 exon 10 and MAML2 exon 2. One case with clinical follow-up showed stable recurrent disease and metastatic lung deposits following treatment. Both patients were alive at 3 months and 1 year following initial diagnosis. Our findings lend further support to classifying CHE with PTBP1-MAML2 fusions as a distinct variant of CHE with unique clinicopathologic features, including neuroendocrine features.

RESUMO

A 18-year-old man presented with multiple asymptomatic masses in the spleen that had been detected on ultrasonography performed during a physical screening. He had no history of tuberculosis, and was otherwise well. Abdominal MR demonstrated multiple masses with internal stellate scars, which appeared as marked hypointensity on T2WI and contrast-enhanced MR. Most lesions showed inhomogeneous enhancement. The capsular enhancement was also revealed at delay phase. The patient underwent laparoscopic splenectomy. Pathological examination indicated papillary intralymphatic angioendothelioma (PILA), with the following immunohistochemistry results: CK (-), CR (-), ERG (+), CD34 (+), CD31 (+), D2-40 (+), Ki67 (3%+). The patient was feeling well at 6 months of follow-up.

RESUMO

Recent molecular advances have shed significant light on the classification of vascular tumours. Except for haemangiomas, vascular lesions remain difficult to diagnose, owing to their rarity and overlapping clinical, radiographic and histological features across malignancies. In particular, challenges still remain in the differential diagnosis of epithelioid vascular tumours, including epithelioid haemangioma and epithelioid haemangioendothelioma at the benign/low-grade end of the spectrum, and epithelioid angiosarcoma at the high-grade end. Historically, the classification of vascular tumours has been heavily dependent on the clinical setting and histological features, as traditional immunohistochemical markers across the group have often been non-discriminatory. The increased application of next-generation sequencing in clinical practice, in particular targeted RNA sequencing (such as Archer, Illumina), has led to numerous novel discoveries, mainly recurrent gene fusions (e.g. those involving FOS, FOSB, YAP1, and WWTR1), which have resulted in refined tumour classification and improved diagnostic reproducibility for vascular tumours. However, other molecular alterations besides fusions have been discovered in vascular tumours, including somatic mutations (e.g. involving GNA family and IDH genes) in a variety of haemangiomas, as well as copy number alterations in high-grade angiosarcomas (e.g. MYC amplifications). Moreover, the translation of these novel molecular abnormalities into diagnostic ancillary markers, either fluorescence in-situ hybridisation probes or surrogate immunohistochemical markers (FOSB, CAMTA1, YAP1, and MYC), has been remarkable. This review will focus on the latest molecular discoveries covering both benign and malignant vascular tumours, and will provide practical diagnostic algorithms, highlighting frequently encountered pitfalls and challenges in the diagnosis of vascular lesions.

RESUMO

The diagnosis of cutaneous mesenchymal neoplasms remains challenging, due to a combination of overlapping histological features, the rarity of some diagnoses and often inadequate sampling in superficial biopsies. Here, we describe recent advances in cutaneous mesenchymal neoplasms. We discuss improvements in our understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of non-neural granular cell tumour, epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma, composite and retiform haemangioendothelioma and dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. We also discuss recently described tumour types, including some discovered via molecular testing: EWSR1::SMAD3-rearranged fibroblastic tumour, clear cell neoplasm with MITF::CREM rearrangement and melanocytoma with CRCT1::TRIM11 rearrangement, and some discovered via traditional histopathology: superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumour, plexiform myofibroblastoma and clear cell neoplasm with melanocytic differentiation and ACTIN::MITF translocation.

RESUMO

Kaposiform haemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare, primarily paediatric tumour with only a handful of case reports in the adult population. Given the paucity of evidence, this article is important in raising awareness of radiotherapy as a suitable and effective treatment in the adult population with KHE and highlights the potential limitations of topical sirolimus in these tumours.

RESUMO

Composite hemangioendothelioma (CHE) is an extremely rare vascular neoplasm that is characterized by an admixture of benign, low-grade malignant, and malignant vascular components. It is usually located superficially in the dermis and subcutis of the extremities, and other sites involved include the head and neck region, oral mucosa, and viscera of the kidney and spleen. CHE has a low-grade malignant potential because it is locally aggressive. Here, we report a case of CHE in the heart in a 46-year-old man, who presented with a palpable mass arising from his right ventricle. Echocardiogram imaging revealed a 13.3 × 14.2 mm mass with high-signal intensity. Excision was performed, and microscopic examination revealed a heterogeneous mixture of vascular components, consisting of spindle-cell hemangioma, retiform hemangioendothelioma, and epithelioid-like hemangioendothelioma areas. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the behavior of this distinctive vascular neoplasm occurring in the right ventricle. Due to the unclear biological behavior of CHE in the heart and the paucity of cases, no further therapy was undertaken despite the risk of local recurrence and distant metastasis. The result of a six-month follow-up after surgery was disease-free.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (IPEH) is a lesion characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells within the lumen of the vessel, it was first described by Masson in 1923.The pathogenesis of Masson's tumor is still unknown, currently the most accredited hypothesis is the reactive 1. Clinically and symptomatologically it can have different presentations, it is, therefore, of fundamental importance to make a correct differential diagnosis. Diagnosis is mainly based on histological criteria. Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia usually occurs in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, less commonly in the skeleton. The present is the fifth case of intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia of the mandible.

RESUMO

Pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma, an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm composed of plump spindled and/or epithelioid endothelial cells, may present multicentrically and tends to locally recur but rarely metastasizes. Morphologic resemblance to epithelioid sarcoma and other spindle cell neoplasms may result in diagnostic confusion. Molecular characterization of pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma has revealed these neoplasms often harbor a rearrangement of the FOSB gene with SERPINE1 or ACTB as recurrent fusion gene partners. Herein, a case of a fibular pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma with minimal extension into the adjacent soft tissue arising in a 17 year-old male is presented. The neoplasm exhibited sheets of epithelioid cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and variably eccentric nuclei. RNA sequencing revealed a novel CLTC-FOSB fusion transcript that was subsequently confirmed by direct sequencing of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction products demonstrating an in-frame fusion between exon 17 of the clathrin heavy chain (CLTC) gene and exon 2 of the FOSB (FosB proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit) gene. CLTC-FOSB fusion has not been described in a neoplasm before.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the clinical and pathologic features, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of congenital hemangioma (CH). Methods: Forty cases of CH were diagnosed from January 2017 to December 2020 in Henan Provincial People's Hospital. The clinical and pathological and immunohistochemical data were analyzed, with review of literature. Results: There were 24 male and 16 female patients. The lesions were located in the head, neck (11 cases), limbs (14 cases), and trunk (15 cases). The clinical manifestations were congenital painless plaques or masses, the larger ones protruded on the skin surface, mostly dusky purple or bright red, with surrounding white halos. Under low magnification, the tumor was lobular and well demarcated, composed of neo-microvascular lumen of different sizes. The vascular endothelial cells were cuboidal or hobnail in appearance, forming stellar drainage vessels within the lobules. Extra-medullary hematopoiesis was seen in one case of rapidly involuting CH; there were different number of tortuous and dilated vascular lumen between the lobular structures, and some non-involuting CH cases were vascular malformations, which were devoid of lobulated structures. Immunohistochemistry showed that endothelial cells were strongly positive for CD31, CD34 and ERG, while D2-40 and GLUT-1 were negative. Conclusions: CH is a benign congenital vascular tumor with characteristic lobulated growth and abnormal blood vessels in the stroma. Pathological diagnosis often needs to be differentiated from infantile hemangioma, pyogenic granuloma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and vascular malformation.

RESUMO

YAP1-TFE3-fused hemangioendothelioma is an extremely rare malignant vascular tumor. We present the largest multi-institutional clinicopathologic study of YAP1-TFE3-fused hemangioendothelioma to date. The 24 cases of YAP1-TFE3-fused hemangioendothelioma showed a female predominance (17 female, 7 male) across a wide age range (20-78 years old, median 44). Tumors were most commonly located in soft tissue (50%), followed by bone (29%), lung (13%), and liver (8%), ranging from 3 to 115 mm in size (median 40 mm). About two-thirds presented with multifocal disease, including 7 cases with distant organ metastasis. Histopathologically, we describe three dominant architectural patterns: solid sheets of coalescing nests, pseudoalveolar and (pseudo)vasoformative pattern, and discohesive strands and clusters of cells set in a myxoid to myxohyaline stroma. These patterns were present in variable proportions across different tumors and often coexisted within the same tumor. The dominant cytomorphology (88%) was large epithelioid cells with abundant, glassy eosinophilic to vacuolated cytoplasm, prominent nucleoli and well-demarcated cell borders. Multinucleated or binucleated cells, prominent admixed erythrocytic and lymphocytic infiltrates, and intratumoral fat were frequently present. Immunohistochemically, ERG, CD31, and TFE3 were consistently expressed, while expression of CD34 (83%) and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 (20%) was variable. CAMTA1 was negative in all but one case. All cases were confirmed by molecular testing to harbor YAP1-TFE3 gene fusions: majority with YAP1 exon 1 fused to TFE3 exon 4 (88%), or less commonly, TFE3 exon 6 (12%). Most patients (88%) were treated with primary surgical resection. Over a follow-up period of 4-360 months (median 36 months) in 17 cases, 35% of patients remained alive without disease, and 47% survived many years with stable, albeit multifocal and/or metastatic disease. Five-year progression-free survival probability was 88%. We propose categorizing YAP1-TFE3-fused hemangioendothelioma as a distinct disease entity given its unique clinical and histopathologic characteristics in comparison to conventional epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia is an unusual vascular lesion characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and general features of this lesion. METHODS: Biopsy records of three oral pathology services were reviewed for intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia cases from 1959 to 2020. In addition, a systematic review of case reports and case series was carried out in eight electronic databases. RESULTS: Of the 65 205 retrieved cases, 20 (0.03%) were diagnosed as intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia. Mean patient age was 46.55 years, and females (12 cases/60%) were more affected. The lower lip (9 cases/47.36%) was the most commonly affected site, and the lesions were generally asymptomatic (7 cases/63.63%). Clinically, 90% of the lesions presented (18 cases) as a nodule, with a mean size of 1.13 cm. The clinical diagnostic hypotheses most frequently raised were mucocele (6 cases/37.50%) and hemangioma (5 cases/31.25%). An excisional biopsy was chosen in all cases for treatment. Forty-nine studies of the systematic review were included, yielding 105 cases. The literature showed similarity in all variables. CONCLUSION: Despite the uncommon frequency, clinicians and oral pathologists should familiarize themselves with the similarities between intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia and some other lesions in terms of clinical and histological features.
