Primary omental smooth muscle tumor in an adult male: a diagnostic dilemma for leiomyoma: a case report. J Med Case Rep 2024; 18:222. [PMID: 38704583 PMCID: PMC11070120 DOI: 10.1186/s13256-024-04537-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The greater omentum comprises peritoneal, adipose, vascular, and lymphoid tissues. Most omental malignancies are metastatic tumors, and the incidence of primary tumors is rare. We report on a prior omental smooth muscle tumor case in an adult male patient. CASE PRESENTATION A 54-year-old Japanese male patient with no relevant medical history was diagnosed with an abdominal mass during a routine medical checkup. Subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a mass of approximately 3 cm in size in the greater omentum, and a laparotomy was performed. A 27 × 25 × 20 mm raised lesion was found in the omentum. Microscopically, spindle cells were observed and arranged in whorls and fascicles. Individual tumor cells had short spindle-shaped nuclei with slightly increased chromatin and were characterized by a slightly eosinophilic, spindle-shaped cytoplasm. The mitotic count was less than 1 per 50 high-power fields. The tumor cells showed positive immunoreactivity for α smooth muscle actin, HHF35, and desmin on immunohistochemical examination. The Ki-67 labeling index using the average method was 1.76% (261/14806). No immunoreactivity was observed for any of the other tested markers. We considered leiomyoma owing to a lack of malignant findings. However, primary omental leiomyoma has rarely been reported, and it can be difficult to completely rule out the malignant potential of smooth muscle tumors in soft tissues. Our patient was decisively diagnosed with a primary omental smooth muscle tumor considering leiomyoma. Consequently, the patient did not undergo additional adjuvant therapy and was followed up. The patient was satisfied with treatment and showed neither recurrence nor metastasis at the 13-month postoperative follow-up. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION We encountered a primary smooth muscle tumor of the greater omentum with no histological findings suggestive of malignancy in an adult male patient. However, omental smooth muscle tumors are extremely difficult to define as benign, requiring careful diagnosis. Further case reports with long-term follow-up and case series are required to determine whether a true omental benign smooth muscle tumor (leiomyoma) exists. In addition, proper interpretation of the Ki-67 labeling index should be established. This case study is a foundation for future research.

The Predictive Role of the Histopathological Scoring System in Adipose Tumors-Lipoma, Atypical Lipomatous Tumor, and Liposarcoma. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:3606. [PMID: 38132190 PMCID: PMC10742782 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13243606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Lipomatous tumors are the most frequent soft tissue neoplasms. Sometimes their differential diagnosis is difficult to perform only by microscopic analysis. This study aims to create a histopathological scoring system and highlight the impact of intratumoral microvascular density. This study was conducted over 10 years. We analyzed the main pathogenic pathways (MDM2 and CDK4), as well as the tumor microvascularization (CD31 and CD34) by immunohistochemical tests. We also analyzed the status of the MDM2 gene by CISH. These data, together with the clinical and histopathological information, were statistically analyzed by appropriate tests. We identified 112 eligible cases, with most of the patients being in their sixth decade of life, with a slight predominance of the female sex. We found important associations like tumor location linked to nuclear pleomorphism severity and microvascularization density correlated with atypia severity. Also, we observed that a maximum diameter of a tumor of at least 69 mm is associated with the presence of tumor necrosis. The score designed in this study shows an increased sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of lipomas (100%, respectively, 97%), atypical lipomatous tumors (93.8%, respectively, 82.3%), and liposarcomas (100%, respectively, 90.5%). This present study enhances the present data by bringing to attention the histopathological score with a role in differential diagnosis, as well as in the prediction of immunohistochemical and genetic tests. Also, we highlighted the importance of microvascular density, especially in the diagnosis of liposarcomas.

Abstract
Lipomatous neoplasms are a rare entity in the pediatric population, comprising less than 10% of soft tissue tumors in the first two decades of life. Some characteristics of pediatric adipocytic tumors are analogous to their adult counterparts, some pediatric lipomatous lesions however harbor unique features. In recent years, there have been significant advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis and hence in the classification and treatment of pediatric adipocytic tumors. This literature-based article will provide a review of the presently known clinicopathological, immunohistochemical and molecular features of pediatric lipomatous lesions.

Abstract
Liposarcoma is arare soft tissue sarcoma in children. While prognosis, clinical behavior, and response to therapy among the various histologic subtypes are well described in adults, data in children are limited. Here, we describe our experience treating 14 children with liposarcoma at a large, academic pediatric center and review the available pediatric literature. This comprehensive report adds treatment, survival, and genomic data to pediatric liposarcoma literature.

Liposarcoma in children and young adults: a clinicopathologic and molecular study of 23 cases in one of the largest institutions of China. Virchows Arch 2021; 479:537-549.

Abstract
The incidence of pediatric liposarcoma is rare and most published cases lack systematic genetic analyses. We present clinicopathologic and genetic features of 23 liposarcomas aged <22 years. The study cohort comprised 10 males and 13 females (M:F=1:1.3) aged 11-21 years (median 17 years). The tumors predominantly occurred at the extremities (16/23; 69.6%), followed by the head/neck (2/23; 8.7%), chest (2/23; 8.7%), waist (2/23, 8.7%), and retroperitoneum (1/23; 4.3%). The tumor subtypes were sixteen myxoid liposarcoma (ML), one well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL), two dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL), one pleomorphic liposarcoma (PL), and three myxoid pleomorphic liposarcoma (MPL) cases. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis identified MDM2/CDK4 amplification in all WDL/DDL cases (3/3; 100%) and DDIT3 rearrangement in all ML cases (13/13; 100%). Whole-exome sequencing indicated that one PL case and one MPL case exhibited RB1 loss. The two tested MPL cases had TP53 mutation and one of them harbored a TP53 germline mutation. Follow-up information was available for 20 patients (20/23; 87.0%) with a median follow-up duration of 42.5 months (range, 13-120 months). Three patients exhibited tumor progression (3/20;15.0%). Seventeen patients (17/20; 85.0%) survived with no evidence of disease. One MPL case (1/20; 5.0%) died of the disease. In conclusion, despite some overlaps, the occurrence, distribution of subtype, and prognosis of liposarcoma are overall different in children and adults. Most MLs and ALT/WDL/DDLs showed similar genetic aberrations with adult counterparts. Molecular features of MPL overlapped with those of conventional PL. The genetic characteristics including Tp53 status of MPL need further investigation.

Abstract
Atypical and malignant lipomatous tumors are infrequent in the pediatric population. Within this uncommon cohort, the morphologically and genetically related spectrum of atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma/dedifferentiated liposarcoma (ALT/WDL/DDLS) is markedly rare. Their shared characteristic molecular aberration is a genomic amplicon of a region of chromosome 12q, including the oncogenes MDM2 and CDK4. We present an unusual case of a pediatric patient with an ALT, with recurrence after 2 years in the form of a bone-forming mass, radiologically and pathologically mimicking parosteal osteosarcoma, a tumor also molecularly characterized by amplification of MDM2 and CDK4. However, with ample histologic sampling, a single focus of lipogenic differentiation was identified, thus representing the first near complete low-grade osteosarcomatous dedififferentation reported within ALT/WDL/DDLS and the first ever in pediatric patient. The case serves a reminder of a diagnosis differential and pitfalls within MDM2-amplified tumors.

Abstract
AIMS Limited data exist on atypical lipomatous tumour (ALT)/well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDL) and de-differentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) in children and young adults. METHODS AND RESULTS Cases of ALT/WDL/DDLPS arising in patients aged ≤ 40 years were collected from multiple institutional and consultation archives. A total of 116 cases of ALT/WDL (75) and DDLPS (41) were identified, representing fewer than 5% of these tumours seen at our institutions during this time-period. The patients (59 male/57 female) ranged in age from 8 to 40 years. Sites included deep central (abdomen/retroperitoneum/pelvis/groin) (n = 60), extremity (n = 42), trunk (n = 5), head/neck (n = 8) and mediastinum (n = 1). De-differentiated patterns included: high-grade pleomorphic sarcoma, myxofibrosarcoma-like, heterologous rhabdomyoblastic differentiation, low-grade spindle cell sarcoma and homologous lipoblastic differentiation. Forty-one patients experienced a local recurrence and 11 patients with DDLPS developed metastasis. ALT arising in the extremities had lower recurrence rates than deep central WDL (5-year recurrence-free survival 88.9% versus 59.0%; P = 0.002), while patients with deep central DDLPS experienced significantly more adverse events compared to WDL at this site (5-year event-free survival 11.9% versus 59.0%) (P < 0.0001). Seven (of eight) head/neck tumours had follow-up available; five recurred, and one patient (DDLPS) with recurrence also experienced a metastasis. The single mediastinal tumour (DDLPS) recurred and metastasised. CONCLUSION ALT/WDL and DDLPS occurring in patients aged ≤ 40 years is rare, but exhibits similar morphological features to its counterparts in older adults, including potential for heterologous and homologous de-differentiation in the latter. Although case numbers are limited, tumours arising in the head and neck exhibit high rates of adverse events, suggesting that classification as WDL rather than ALT is more appropriate.

Abstract
Adipocytic tumors are rare in children and are mostly benign. Less than 25 cases of pediatric well-differentiated liposarcoma (WDLPS), atypical lipomatous tumors (ALT), and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) have been reported. Among them, only three cases were genetically analyzed. We describe the genetic features of a rapidly growing adipose tumor that occurred in the thigh of a 7-year-old girl. Histologically, it was composed of mature adipocytic cells with a few atypia. Molecular analysis showed high-level amplification of the 12q13-21 region including MDM2 among 64 amplified genes. MDM2 amplification is a diagnostic hallmark of ALT/WDLPS/DDLPS. In adult cases, it is typically located in ring or giant marker chromosomes. In the present case, extra-copies of MDM2 were located on double minute chromosomes (dmin). This raised the hypothesis of dmin being precursors of adult's rings and giant markers and may provide indications for a better understanding of the mechanisms of adipose tumor oncogenesis.

Adipocytic neoplasms in the pediatric population demonstrate a different histologic spectrum and frequency than in adults. The vast majority of these tumors are benign, with lipoma being the most common entity. The identification of signature cytogenetic and molecular alterations for certain lesions, such as PLAG1 gene rearrangement in lipoblastoma and FUS-DDIT3 fusion in myxoid liposarcoma, has been helpful in approaching these neoplasms and aiding in confirming the diagnosis. Furthermore, it is important for pathologists to recognize that adipocytic neoplasms may be associated with different syndromes with potential impact in managing such patients. This review provides a summary of the clinical pictures, histologic characteristics, molecular alterations, differential diagnoses, and syndromic associations of the commonly encountered fatty tumors in children.

Abstract
Malignant adipocytic neoplasia is rare among nonhuman primates. We report the gross and microscopic features of a retroperitoneal liposarcoma with myxofibrosarcoma-like dedifferentiation in a free-ranging juvenile golden-headed lion tamarin (Leontopithecus chrysomelas). To our knowledge, this is the first report of such tumor subtype in New World primates.
