摘要
We report 10 additional cases of GLI1-altered mesenchymal tumor to further delineate its clinicopathological and molecular spectrum. There were seven males and three females with a median age of 31 years (range 1.3 ~ 75 years). Five tumors arose in the oral cavity, one each in the stomach, uterine cervix, elbow, groin, and thigh. Histologically, all cases except one were composed of monomorphic round to epithelioid cells showing an infiltrative multinodular growth pattern. The neoplastic cells were surrounded by a rich network of capillary vessels. Vessel invasion or subendothelial protrusion into the vascular space was commonly present. One tumor developed regional lymph node metastasis. The remaining case showed a predominantly spindle cell tumor. By immunohistochemistry, most tumors showed diffuse staining of CD56 (8/8) with variable expression of S100 protein (7/8). In three tumors harboring amplified genes, strong and diffuse nuclear staining of MDM2 (2/3) and CDK4 (3/3) were noted. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies revealed GLI1 fusions in 7 cases and GLI1 amplification in 2 cases, which were validated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis in the majority of cases. One case did not show fusion gene by RNA-seq, but FISH revealed both amplification and break-apart of GLI1 gene. Follow-up information showed local recurrences in two patients. All other patients remained disease-free at the last follow-up. Our study further demonstrates that mesenchymal tumors with GLI1 alterations represent a distinctive clinicopathological entity. Although the tumor has a propensity for the tongue, it can also arise in somatic soft tissues as well as in visceral organs. Based on the characteristic morphological features and genomic profiles, we propose the term “GLI1-altered mesenchymal tumor” to describe this emerging entity.
