Résumé
Objective@#To investigate the histological type and clinicopathological characteristics of the craniocerebral slope tumors with chondromucinous features.@*Methods@#Retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze chondromucinous tumors in the slope area diagnosed at Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from October 2011 to June 2018. Relevant clinical and pathological data were reviewed, and immunohistochemistry was used to investigate the immunophenotype of the tumors.@*Results@#Eight cases were identified, including 4 males and 4 females with patient age ranging from 20 to 48 years. Histologically, there were 1 case of chordoid meningioma, 1 chondromyxoid fibroma, 1 mucinous chondrosarcoma, 1 Maffucci syndrome, and 4 chondroid chordomas.@*Conclusion@#Chondromucinous tumors of the slope area include chordoma, chordoid meningioma, chondromyxoid fibroma, and myxoid chondrosarcoma and their correct diagnosis is mainly based on the morphological characteristics, immunophenotype and comprehensive analysis of clinical data.
Résumé
Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of primary subcutaneous lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG). Methods A case of primary subcutaneous LYG was observed by analysis of the clinical, histological features, immunophenotype and molecular pathology with review of the related literature. Results The male patient, 78-year-old, inadvertently found a mass of right axillary for more than 10 days. The boundary of the mass was clear, it seemed to have a capsule, the cut surface was grayish yellow and grayish red, the texture was medium. A large amount of coagulative necrosis was observed in the center of the mass under microscope. The peripheral area showed a morphological change of panniculitis, accompanied by pleomorphic lymphoid infiltration, showed central and vascular destructive infiltration, pathological mitosis was occasionally observed. Immunophenotyping showed that atypical large lymphoid cells expressed CD45 RB, CD20, CD30, while CD3, CD15, CD56, TIA-1, Granzyme B, ALK, CD21, Langerin and CD1 a, S-100 and CK (AE1/AE3) were negative. The proliferation index of Ki-67 ranged from 50％ to 60％. EBER in situ hybridization showed that positive cells were> 20/HPF.Neither acid fast staining nor TB-DNA testing supported tuberculosis. Molecular pathology found clonal Ig K gene rearrangement, TCRB + TCRG gene rearrangement showed the absence of monoclonal proliferating T cell population. Conclusion The primary subcutaneous LYG is a rare tumor. which can be diagnosed by combination of morphology, immunophenotype and molecular pathology.
