Abstract
Inflammatory rhabdomyoblastic tumors (IRMTs) are newly recognized skeletal muscle tumors with uncertain malignant potential. We investigated 13 IRMTs using clinicopathologic, genetic, and epigenetic methods. The cohort included 7 men and 6 women, aged 23 to 80 years (median, 50 years), of whom 2 had neurofibromatosis type 1. Most tumors occurred in the deep soft tissues of the lower limbs, head/neck, trunk wall, and retroperitoneum/pelvis. Two tumors involved the hypopharyngeal submucosa as polypoid masses. Eight tumors showed conventional histology of predominantly spindled cells with nuclear atypia, low mitotic activity, and massive inflammatory infiltrates. Three tumors showed atypical histology, including uniform epithelioid or plump cells and mitotically active histiocytes. The remaining 2 tumors demonstrated malignant progression to rhabdomyosarcoma; one had additional IRMT histology and the other was a pure sarcoma. All 11 IRMTs without malignant progression exhibited indolent behavior at a median follow-up of 43 months. One of the 2 patients with IRMTs with malignant progression died of lung metastases. All IRMTs were positive for desmin and PAX7, whereas myogenin and MyoD1 were expressed in a subset of cases. Targeted next-generation sequencing identified pathogenic mutations in NF1 (5/8) and TP53 (4/8). All TP53 mutations co-occurred with NF1 mutations. TP53 variant allele frequency was much lower than that of NF1 in 2 cases. These tumors showed geographic (subclonal) strong p53 immunoreactivity, suggesting the secondary emergence of a TP53-mutant clone. DNA methylation-based copy number analysis conducted in 11 tumors revealed characteristic flat patterns with relative gains, including chromosomes 5, 18, 20, 21, and/or 22 in most cases. Widespread loss of heterozygosity with retained biparental copies of these chromosomes was confirmed in 4 tumors analyzed via allele-specific profiling. Based on unsupervised DNA methylation analysis, none of the 11 tumors tested clustered with existing reference entities but formed a coherent group, although its specificity warrants further study.

Abstract
Inflammatory rhabdomyoblastic tumor (IRMT) is a rare, recently described skeletal muscle neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential. We report an unusual tumor in the right arm of a 5-year-old boy, which is the first case of a pediatric IRMT. Immunohistochemically, most cells in the tumor were positive for CD163 and CD68 staining. The neoplastic cells themselves showed a skeletal muscle phenotype with a diffuse expression of desmin and a focal expression of myoD1. Mitotic activity was low (1/10 HPF), and no necrosis was observed.

Abstract
Histiocyte-rich rhabdomyoblastic tumor (HRRMT) is an exceedingly rare soft tissue tumor of primitive myogenic differentiation. We report herein a case involving the soft tissue in the left lateral peri-scapular region in a 68-year-old female with a 2-month history of a non-painful soft tissue mass. Ultrasound revealed a solid, ovoid subcutaneous mass lesion that lacked significant internal vascularity. Percutaneous fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy with concomitant core needle biopsy was performed, and a diagnosis of HRRMT was rendered. Cytologic smears were hypercellular, composed of a mixture of foamy histiocytes and a variably cohesive population of epithelioid and plasmacytoid to vaguely spindled cells in cohesive clusters and singly dispersed. Histologic material showed sheets of epithelioid and plasmacytoid to spindled cells with admixed foamy histiocytes with distended, vacuolated cytoplasm. To our knowledge, this is the first reported example of HRRMT evaluated by FNA biopsy.

Abstract
Introdução: Os sarcomas primários do pulmão são tumores malignos raros com incidência estimada em torno de 0,5% de todas as neoplasias pulmonares. De suas tipificações descritas na literatura, duas especialmente, os leiomiossarcomas e os rabdomiossarcomas, apresentam semelhanças em seu perfil genético, morfológico e imuno-histoquímico, o que os levou a receberem uma mesma classificação: tumor rabdomioblástico inflamatório. Esse tipo de tumor costuma acometer tecidos moles em extremidades e tronco, e predomina em meio a homens jovens e de meia-idade. Em razão do pequeno número de casos de tumores rabdomioblásticos relatados na literatura, tanto seu diagnóstico quanto seu tratamento são pouco descritos. Relato de caso: Paciente, sexo feminino, 19 anos, apresentou três episódios de infecção respiratória no lobo inferior do pulmão direito em um período de 18 meses. A tomografia computadorizada do tórax evidenciou obstrução do brônquio intermediário e áreas de bronquiectasias no lobo inferior direito. Diante disso, realizou-se bilobectomia inferior-média, conduzida por cirurgia robótica. A paciente recebeu alta hospitalar três dias depois do pós-operatório. A imuno-histoquímica revelou tumor rabdomioblástico inflamatório de baixo grau. Conclusão: Este relato apresentou um caso de tumor pulmonar raro, abordado por uma técnica cirúrgica ainda não relatada para esse tipo de patologia.

Abstract
Inflammatory leiomyosarcoma (ILMS) is a malignant neoplasm showing smooth muscle differentiation, a prominent inflammatory infiltrate, and near‐haploidization. These tumors have significant pathologic and genetic overlap with the recently described “inflammatory rhabdomyoblastic tumor (IRT),” suggesting that ILMS and IRT may belong to one entity. Herein, we describe two cases of ILMS/IRT with attention to new cytogenetic and sequencing findings. The tumors were composed of sheets and fascicles of variably pleomorphic tumor cells showing spindled and epithelioid to rhabdoid morphology and a prominent histiocyte‐rich inflammatory infiltrate typical of ILMS/IRT. In case 1, chromosomal microarray analysis showed a near‐haploid pattern with loss of heterozygosity resulting from loss of one copy of all autosomes except for chromosomes 5, 20, 21, and 22. Case 2 showed areas with high‐grade rhabdomyosarcomatous transformation. In this case, the low‐grade tumor component revealed a hyper‐diploid pattern with loss of heterozygosity for most of autosomes but with a normal diploid copy number state except for chromosomes 5, 20, and 22, which showed a relative gain. The high‐grade tumor component showed a similar pattern of copy‐neutral loss of heterozygosity with additional abnormalities, including mosaic segmental gains at 1p, 5p, 8q, 9p, 20q, and segmental loss at 8p. Next‐generation sequencing identified sequence variants in NF1, TP53, SMARCA4, KRAS, and MSH6. MSH6 variant was confirmed as germline, consistent with the diagnosis of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) syndrome in one of our study patients and suggestive that ILMS/IRT might be part of the HNPCC cancer spectrum.
