Abstract
In two separate reviews, we review the time-honored but still frequently challenging features of ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, and also emphasize new developments including unusual morphologic appearances that, despite the relative rarity of many of the tumors, result in a disproportionate number of differential diagnostic problems, variant immunohistochemical profiles, and specific molecular and syndromic associations. These neoplasms are also of historical interest as current knowledge is still based in significant part on the contributions of 2 giants of gynecologic pathology, Dr Robert Meyer and Dr Robert E. Scully. In part I, we present the major clinical, pathologic, and genomic features of the pure ovarian stromal tumors including comments on differential diagnosis and briefly note significant historical contributions. In part II we will discuss pure sex cord and sex cord-stromal tumors.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5864. [PMID: 38136408 PMCID: PMC10741682 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15245864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors (SCSTs) account for 8% of all primary ovarian neo-plasms. Accurate diagnosis is crucial since each subtype has a specific prognostic and treatment. Apart from fibrosarcomas, stromal tumors are benign while sex cord tumors may recur, sometimes with a significant time to relapse. Although the diagnosis based on morphology is straightforward, in some cases the distinction between stromal tumors and sex cord tumors may be tricky. Indeed, the immunophenotype is usually nonspecific between stromal tumors and sex cord tumors. Therefore, molecular pathology plays an important role in the diagnosis of such entities, with pathognomonic or recurrent alterations, such as FOXL2 variants in adult granulosa cell tumors. In addition, these neoplasms may be associated with genetic syndromes, such as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome for sex cord tumors with annular tubules, and DICER1 syndrome for Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs), for which the pathologist may be in the front line of syndromic suspicion. Molecular pathology of SCST is also relevant for patient prognosis and management. For instance, the DICER1 variant is associated with moderately to poorly differentiated SLCTS and a poorer prognosis. The present review summarizes the histomolecular criteria useful for the diagnosis of SCST, using recent molecular data from the literature.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2023; 14:1093273. [PMID: 37324278 PMCID: PMC10265673 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1093273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to explore the symptoms, treatment, and pathogenesis of ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors with Ollier's disease in children. Methods From October 2019 to October 2020, clinical data were retrospectively analyzed for one case of ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors with Ollier's disease. Whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing were used to detect gene mutation in ovarian tumor and chondroma tissue. NADP-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH1) and S6 ribosomal protein expression levels in cells transfected with wild-type or mutant plasmid were analyzed by Western blot. Results The 4-year-old female showed multiple skeletal deformities, bilateral breast development with chromatosis, and vulvar discharge. Sex hormone assay suggested that estradiol and prolactin were elevated, and the x-ray of limbs suggested enchondroma. Pelvic ultrasound and abdominal CT revealed a right ovarian solid mass. Pathologic examination of the right ovarian solid mass showed a juvenile granulosa cell type. A c.394C>T (p. Arg132Cys) mutation of the IDH1 gene was detected in both the ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors and enchondroma. Transfection of HeLa cells with either WT or Mut plasmid caused 4.46- or 3.77-fold overexpression of IDH1 gene compared to non-transfected control cells, respectively. R132C mutation inhibited the phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein, which is central to the mTOR pathway. Postoperatively, estradiol and prolactin levels fell to values normal for her age and bilateral breast gradual retraction. Conclusion The incidence of ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors with Ollier's disease in children may be caused by generalized mesodermal dysplasia; IDH1 gene mutation may play a facilitated role in this process. Surgical operation is the main treatment. We suggest that patients with ovarian juvenile granulosa cell tumors and Ollier's disease should undergo regular investigation.

Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12112764.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate isocitrate dehydrogenase gene mutations in patients with the non-hereditary skeletal disorders of Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome, particularly in the extraosseous tumours. METHODS A total of 16 tumours from three patients with Ollier disease and three patients with Maffucci syndrome were collected. Sanger sequencing was applied to determine the hotspot mutations of IDH1 and IDH2 genes in multiple neoplastic tissues. RESULTS A majority of the tumours displayed an IDH1 mutation (p.R132C in 11 tumours including the paediatric ovarian tumour from one patient with Ollier disease, 4 cutaneous haemangiomas from three patients with Maffucci syndrome, 5 enchondromas and 1 chondrosarcoma; p.R132H in 2 cartilaginous tumours from one patient). CONCLUSIONS IDH1 mutations were demonstrated in multiple cartilaginous tumours and extraskeletal neoplasms in this case series. Specifically, identical IDH1 mutations were confirmed in the separate lesions of each patient. These results are in concordance with findings that have been reported. However, here, we additionally reported the first case of Ollier disease with an ovarian tumour, which harboured the identical IDH1 mutation with the corresponding cartilaginous tumour. We further provided evidence that IDH mutations are the potential genetic links among the multiple neoplastic lesions of Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome.

Abstract
CONTEXT.— Cartilaginous tumors represent one of the most common tumors of bone. Management of these tumors includes observation, curettage, and surgical excision or resection, depending on their locations and whether they are benign or malignant. They can be diagnostically challenging, particularly in small biopsies. In rare cases, benign tumors may undergo malignant transformation. OBJECTIVE.— To review common cartilaginous tumors, including in patients with multiple hereditary exostosis, Ollier disease, and Maffucci syndrome, and to discuss problems in the interpretation of well-differentiated cartilaginous neoplasms of bone. Additionally, the concept of atypical cartilaginous tumor/chondrosarcoma grade 1 will be discussed and its use clarified. DATA SOURCES.— PubMed (US National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland) literature review, case review of archival cases at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and personal experience of the authors. CONCLUSIONS.— This review has examined primary well-differentiated cartilaginous lesions of bone, including their differential diagnosis and approach to management. Because of the frequent overlap in histologic features, particularly between low-grade chondrosarcoma and enchondroma, evaluation of well-differentiated cartilaginous lesions should be undertaken in conjunction with thorough review of the imaging studies.

Molecular profiling of different glioma specimens from an Ollier disease patient suggests a multifocal disease process in the setting of IDH mosaicism. Brain Tumor Pathol 2018; 35:202-208.

Abstract
Ollier disease (OD) and Maffucci syndrome are rare conditions due to a post-zygotic somatic mutation that results in mosaicism. In addition to enchondromas and hemangiomas, some of these patients also develop other unrelated tumors, such as gliomas, that harbor IDH mutations, suggesting that an IDH mutation is a common genetic event in the tumorigenesis in this group of patients. We illustrate an interesting case of multifocal IDH-mutant astrocytomas in an OD patient with 8 years of follow-up. We first demonstrated identical IDH mutations in the brain tumor samples from various locations in this patient, but different 1p,19q results by fluorescent in-situ hybridization, different whole genome copy number profiles by OncoScan analysis, and a discrepant IDH2M131I mutation unique to one tumor, supporting a multifocal disease process in the setting of somatic IDH mosaicism.

Abstract
Sex cord-stromal tumours (SCSTs) consist of a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with diverse clinicopathological features and biological behaviour. They often present as a diagnostic challenge as they have varied and occasionally overlapping histomorphology and some may even mimic non-SCSTs. An accurate diagnosis is important for therapeutic and prognostic purposes. The use of a panel of immunohistochemical markers which are sensitive and specific for sex cord-stromal differentiation such as α-inhibin, calretinin, SF-1 and FOXL2, may be helpful in confirming the cellular lineage of these tumours, but is of limited utility in distinguishing between the different tumour types within this category. Additionally, the development of new therapeutic strategies in patients with SCSTs is also hampered by the infrequent occurrence of these neoplasms. Recent molecular analyses of some SCSTs has led to the discovery of novel molecular events, which may have important diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic implications. The salient pathological features, management issues and recently described genetic aberrations in adult and juvenile granulosa cell tumours as well as Sertoli-Leydig cell tumours are discussed in this review, with particular emphasis on the clinical significance of FOXL2 and DICER1 mutations. An in-depth understanding of the molecular pathogenesis underlying SCSTs may aid in improving tumour classification and disease prognostication and also potentially lead to the discovery of more effective treatment strategies.

Abstract
Maffucci syndrome is a rare disease characterized by multiple enchondromas and soft-tissue hemangiomas. Additionally, neuroendocrine tumors including pituitary adenomas have been described in these patients. The underlying genetic etiology lies in somatic mosaicism of mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2). This report describes a patient with Maffucci syndrome who presented with intracranial tumors of the skull base and suprasellar region. The patient underwent resection of both intracranial tumors, revealing histopathological diagnoses of chondrosarcoma and pituitary adenoma. DNA sequencing of the tumors was performed to identify common IDH1/2 mutations. Clinical, radiological, and biochemical assessments were performed. Genotypic studies used standard Sanger sequencing in conjunction with a target-specific peptide nucleic acid to detect IDH1 mutations in tumor tissues. DNA sequencing demonstrated identical IDH1 mutations (c.394C > T) in both tumors. To the authors' knowledge, this report provides the first genetic evidence for the inclusion of pituitary adenomas among tumors characterizing Maffucci syndrome. In patients who are newly diagnosed with Maffucci syndrome, it is appropriate to monitor for development of pituitary pathology and neuroendocrine dysfunction.
