Abstract:
Purpose To investigate the clinicopathologic,immunophenotypic features,genetic alterations and prognosis of melanotic Xp11 neoplasms/melanotic TFE3-rearrangement neo-plasms.Methods Five cases were selected from the Depart-ment of Pathology,Union Hospital,Huazhong University of Sci-ence and Technology from November 2018 to July 2023.The clinicopathologic,immunohistochemical,FISH assays,next-generation sequencing(NGS)and follow-up details were collect-ed.Results There were 1 male and 4 females,with their ages ranging from 16 to 59 years(mean 28.2 years).The maximum diameters of the masses were 3-6 cm(average 4.7 cm).The tumors located in right kidneys(3 cases),tubal interstitium(1 case)and pelvis(1 case).Microscopically,most tumors shared similar morphology such as nested,acinar structures sep-arated by a delicate vascular network.Epithelioid tumor cells presented with clear to granular eosinophilic cytoplasm.Lym-phocytic infiltration was seen in the background;melanin depo-sition was noted in the cases;neoplastic necrosis was detected in 4 cases.Mitotic activity was low with 5 cases showing＜3/10 HPF.Intravascular tumor thrombus was detected in 2 cases,no lymphovascular and nerve invasions were detected in other 3 ca-ses.Immunohistochemically,all 5 cases expressed TFE3 dif-fusely,and expressed HMB45,Melan A to varying degrees,CK(AE1/AE3),CK7,EMA,PAX8,TFEB,S-100,SOX10,SMA,desmin were all non-reactive in the 5 cases.The Ki67-la-beling index was＜20％.TFE3 separation signal in 4 cases were detected by FISH,1 case was interpreted as negative due to atypical signal which was confirmed by next-generation se-quencing(NGS)assay as RBM10-TFE3.Clinical follow-up was available for five patients for 2-60 months,in which four pa-tients were alive with no evidence of disease after initial resec-tion,and one patient with thoracic spine metastasis was currently in stable condition.Conclusion Melanotic Xp1 1 neoplasms/melanotic TFE3-rearrangement neoplasms has unique morpholog-ic,immunophenotypic and genetic characteristics.It might be reclassified into a distinctive malignant mesenchymal tumor enti-ty.
