Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of detecting MDM2 gene amplification by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in low-grade osteosarcoma (LGOS).Methods:Thirty cases of parosteal osteosarcoma (POS) and 14 cases of low-grade central osteosarcoma (LGCOS) from April 2009 to August 2022 at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, Capital Medical University were analyzed for the presence of MDM2 gene amplification by FISH. Fifty-eight additional cases were used as negative controls (including 28 cases of fibrous dysplasia, 5 cases of giant cell tumor, 4 cases of conventional osteosarcoma, 2 cases each of periosteal osteosarcoma, reparative changes after fracture, pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, low grade myofibroblastic sarcoma, fibrous dysplasia with malignant transformation, one case each of leiomyosarcoma, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, desmoplastic fibroma of bone, solitary fibrous tumor, aneurysmal bone cyst, clear cell chondrosarcoma, osteofibrous dysplasia, and 3 cases of unclassified spindle cell tumor).Results:Among the 30 patients with POS, 15 were male and 15 were female, ranging in age from 10 to 59 years (mean 35 years, median 30.5 years). Among the 14 patients with LGCOS, four were male and 10 were female, ranging in age from 15 to 56 years (mean 37 years, median 36 years). All except one case were successfully detected by FISH. MDM2 gene amplification was detected in 27 cases of POS (27/29,91.3%) and 8 cases of LGCOS (8/14). All the negative controls were negative for MDM2 gene amplification. The positive rate of MDM2 gene amplification was significantly different between the case group and the control group ( P<0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of MDM2 gene amplification in diagnosing POS and LGCOS were 91.3% and 100.0%; and 57.1% and 100.0%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of MDM2 gene amplification in diagnosing LGOS (including POS and LGCOS) were 81.3% and 100.0%, respectively. In cases where MDM2 gene was amplified, the MDM2 amplified signal was clustered. Nine cases showed increased CEP12 signal different from polyploidy which was displayed as small and weak signal points or cloud flocculent and cluster signals. Conclusions:Detection of MDM2 gene amplification by FISH is a highly sensitive and specific marker for LGOS. The interpretation criteria for FISH detection of MDM2 amplification are currently not unified. The signal characteristics need more attention when interpreting.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and genetic characteristics of neuromuscular choristoma-associated desmoid type fibromatosis (NMC-DF).Methods:The clinical morphological and immunohistochemical features of 7 NMC-DF cases diagnosed from January 2013 to January 2023 in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. A series of neuromuscular choristoma and neuromuscular choristoma-associated desmoid type fibromatosis were evaluated for CTNNB1 mutations, and hotspot mutations for CTNNB1 were tested in 4 NMC-DF cases using Sanger sequencing.Results:The tumors were collected from 3 females and 4 males, aged 1 to 22 years (mean 7.1 years), involving the sciatic nerve ( n=4), brachial plexus ( n=2) or multiple nerves ( n=1). The course of the disease spanned from 3 months to 10 years. Two cases were recurrent tumors. All the 7 NMC cases showed endoneurial intercalation of mature skeletal muscle fibers among the peripheral nerve fascicles, and the histologic features of the NMC-DF were strikingly similar to the conventional desmoid-type fibromatosis. By immunohistochemistry, all NMC and NMC-DF cases showed aberrant nuclear staining of β-catenin (7/7), the muscle cells in NMC were intensely immunoreactive for desmin, and the admixed nerve fibers were highlighted by NF and S-100 (7/7). Four NMC and NMC-DF had CTNNB1 mutations, 3 c.121A>G (p.T41A) and 1 c.134C>T (p.S45F). Follow-up of the 7 cases, ranging from 22 to 78 months, showed tumor recurrence in 2 patients at 3 and 8 months respectively after the first surgical resection, of which 1 patient underwent above-knee amputation. No recurrence occurred in other cases with tumor excision and neurological reconstruction surgery. There was no metastasis occurred in the 7 cases. Conclusions:NMC is a rare congenital lesion with differentiated mature skeletal muscle tissue found in peripheral nerve fascicles, and approximately 80% of patients with NMC develop a soft tissue fibromatosis. CTNNB1 mutation in the Wnt signaling pathway may be involved in the pathogenesis of NMC and NMC-DF, and S45F mutations seems to have a higher risk of disease progression.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, histogenesis, immunophenotypes and molecular genetic features of primary intraosseous Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) for improving diagnostic accuracy and differential diagnosis.Methods:This retrospective study included 14 RDD cases diagnosed from January 2009 to January 2019 at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, China. The immunohistochemical staining for S-100, cyclin D1, CD1a and CD207 expression was analyzed. The BRAF V600E and KRAS mutation analyses were performed using the Scorpions amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results:There were 6 female and 8 male patients, aged from 2 to 64 years (mean 31.4 years). All of the 14 cases occurred in the bone without lymph node disease, while one patient developed additional lesions within vertebra and nasal cavity. Radiographically, the lesions were lytic with sclerotic margins. Histologically, the lesions percolated through the medullary cavity in an infiltrative fashion and alternating hyper- and hypo-cellular regions of histiocytic clusters (seen as alternating dark and light zones at low magnification). Large histiocytes also showed emperipolesis. Some cases had areas of fibrosis and dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates. There were vasculitis and an increased number of plasma cells in the cases involving multiple sites. One case showed concurrence of RDD and Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH) with inconspicuous increase of Langerhans histiocytes. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the large histiocytes were positive for S-100, CD68 and CD163 in all cases. The nuclear immunoreactivity for cyclin D1 was observed in 13 of the 14 cases. S-100, CD1a and CD207 were positive in the case with concurrence of RDD and LCH. ARMS-PCR results showed that BRAF V600E mutation was observed in the cases with concurrence of RDD and LCH, while there were no KRAS mutations (7/7). Follow-up information was available for 12 patients and ranged from 9 to 49 months. Three of the 12 patients experienced recurrences after the first surgery.Conclusions:Primary intraosseous RDD is rare, and its concurrence with LCH is a very rare phenomenon. Its clinical symptoms, imaging, and pathological manifestations need to be distinguished from other bone lesions. The molecular detection of BRAF V600E and the nuclear expression of cyclin D1 mutations can be used for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of RDD.

Objective:
To analyze the clinicopathological features of pseudotumor-like tissue around aseptic joint arthroplasty and aseptic lymphocytic vasculitis-associated lesions (ALVAL) scores. The characters of wear granules were observed.
Methods:
Total 122 cases were retrieved from the surgical pathology files between May 2015 and August 2018 in the department of pathology in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, which included the knee joint arthroplasty (10 cases) and hip arthroplasty (112 cases). There were 62 females and 60 males. Patients′ age ranged from 29 to 86 years (mean 56 years). The pseudotumor-like tissue around aseptic joint arthroplasty were stained with HE and analyzed by two ALVAL score systems. The characters of wear granules were observed by light microscope and polarized light.
Results:
The cohort included 62 females and 60 males. Patients′ age ranged from 29 to 86 years (mean 56 years). Compbell-ALVAL system includes synovial lining,inflammatory infiltrate and tissue organization. The scores were: low (0-4): 18cases; moderate (5-8): 101 cases; high (9-10): 3 cases. Oxford-ALVAL system only evaluated the inflammatory infiltrate,and the scores were:0 grade:56 cases; 1 grade:51 cases; 2 grade: 12 cases; 3 grade:3 cases. Cases with high score in the Compbell-ALVAL system were concordant with the 3 grade of the Oxford-ALVAL system. Under light microscope,the metal particles were small black granules; the polyethylene fibers were needle-like and easily visible in polarized light. The polymethylmethacrylate showed clear spaces because of particle melting.
Conclusions
The Compbell-ALVAL scoring system is based on the histologic analysis of pseudotumor-like tissue around aseptic joint arthroplasty, and the Oxford-ALVAL scoring systems is based on lymphocytic response. The wear particles could be differentiated by the features in the light microscope.

Chinese Journal of Pathology 2019;48(12):921-927
Objective:
To understand the consistency of ALK Ventana-D5F3 immunohistochemistry (IHC) interpretation in Chinese lung adenocarcinoma among histopathologists from different hospitals, and to recommend solution for the problems found during the interpretation of ALK IHC in real world, with the aim of the precise selection of patients who can benefit from ALK targeted therapy.
Methods:
This was a multicenter and retrospective study. A total of 109 lung adenocarcinoma cases with ALK Ventana-D5F3 IHC staining were collected from 31 lung cancer centers in RATICAL research group from January to June in 2018. All cases were scanned into digital imaging with Ventana iSCANcoreo Digital Slide Scanning System and scored by 31 histopathologists from different centers according to ALK binary (positive or negative) interpretation based on its manufacturer′s protocol. The cases with high inconsistency rate were further analyzed using FISH/RT-PCR/NGS.
Results:
There were 49 ALK positive cases and 60 ALK negative cases, confirmed by re-evaluation by the specialist panel. Two cases (No. 2302 and No.2701) scored as positive by local hospitals were rescored as negative, and were confirmed to be negative by RT-PCR/FISH/NGS. The false interpretation rate of these two cases was 58.1% (18/31) and 48.4% (15/31), respectively. Six out of 31 (19.4%) pathologists got 100% accuracy. The minimum consistency between every two pathologists was 75.8%.At least one pathologist gave negative judgement (false negative) or positive judgement (false positive) in the 49 positive or 60 negative cases, accounted for 26.5% (13/49), 41.7% (25/60), respectively, with at least one uncertainty interpretation accounted for 31.2% (34/109).
Conclusion
There are certain heterogeneities and misclassifications in the real world interpretation of ALK-D5F3 IHC test, which need to be guided by the oncoming expert consensus based on the real world data.

Objective:
To evaluate the role of histologicalpathology in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection.
Methods:
A total of 145 cases of joint arthroplasty during October 2017 and October 2018 from Beijing Jishuitan Hospital were collected. There were 23 cases of infection, including knee joint arthroplasty (12 cases) and hip arthroplasty (11 cases). There were 17 females and 6 males. Patients′ age ranged from 39 to 76 years (mean 63 years). The infection was diagnosed if there were >5 neutrophils per high power field in at least 5 high power field. The permanent sections were examined twice separately by two pathologists, and the interval time of histologic examination was at least two weeks. Sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive predictivevalue (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated. The consistency evaluation of histologic examination of two pathologists was calculated by Kappa analysis.
Results:
The neutrophil cells could locate scattered or focally in the synovium tissue of periprosthetic joint infection. Somewhere, the infiltration of vessel and the perivascular distribution could also exist. Opportunity coincidence rate between two pathologists was 91.3% (Kappa=0.817). The results showed that SE was 60.9%, SP was 100.0%, NPV was 93.1%, PPV was 100.0%.
Conclusions
The presence of polymorphonuclear cells in histologic examination is correlated with infection. There was high consistency between histologic examination and clinical diagnosis of joint arthroplasty.
