Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) has been increasingly reported in various anatomic sites. However, it is still extremely rare in the pancreas. Herein, we present the first series of primary pancreatic SFTs. Nine cases of primary pancreatic SFTs were analyzed. The mean age was 60 years (36 to 76 y) with no sex predilection. Six tumors were in the head, 3 were in the tail. On imaging studies, tumors were described as a hypervascular mass, 2 revealed cystic areas, and 3 were favored to be neuroendocrine tumors. On biopsy, 2 cases were diagnosed as atypical spindle cell tumor; one was misdiagnosed as suspicious for sarcoma, and another case as metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Two were diagnosed as low-grade sarcoma and low-grade stromal tumor on frozen sections. Grossly, tumors were well-demarcated with a median size of 4 cm (0.9 to 15 cm). Microscopically, they were composed of ovoid to spindle tumor cells with no significant mitotic activity and were arranged in alternating hypercellular and hypocellular areas. Staghorn-like vessels and entrapped pancreatic parenchyma were also detected within all tumors. Tumor cells revealed diffuse/strong nuclear STAT6 expression in 7 of 8, CD34 in 7 of 9, and bcl-2 in 4 of 4 tested cases. One tested tumor harbored NAB2 - STAT6 fusion. Eight patients with available follow-up data were free of disease at a mean follow-up of 76 months (3 to 189 mo). SFT should be considered in the differential diagnoses of mesenchymal neoplasms of the pancreas. Immunohistochemical nuclear STAT6 expression is a characteristic feature of SFT. Primary pancreatic SFTs seem to have favorable biological behavior in our series.

Abstract
Abstract
Most pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are lethal and resistant to immunotherapy. Thus, identifying the immunogenic subgroup (iPDAC) and therapeutic targets can save lives. Herein, we present molecular features of iPDAC. 3 cohorts (A, B, C) from 288 patients whose sequenced tumors (MSK-IMPACT) were classified by homologous recombination deficiency groups. MSI-H were excluded. Survival, tumor mutation burden, genomic instability score, and enriched pathways for each cohort are included in Table 1. Patients in A (BRCA1/2/PALB2) had longer survivals vs B/C. 61 samples were selected for bulk RNAseq analysis for A vs C. Gene Ontology was enriched for upregulated humoral, T cell, and neutrophil immunity. CIBERSORT suggested higher infiltration of gamma delta T (Tgd) cells (p=0.039) and neutrophils (p=0.012), but lower Treg (p=0.001). Multidimensional insights in cellular components of cancer, immune, stroma, and neural genes were obtained by single nuclear RNA (snRNAseq) analysis from 30 biopsies for A vs C. 10x Genomics Chromium platform for library and Scanpy for computational analysis after Cell Ranger pipelines were used. 61,868 nuclei were profiled from 18 (13 baseline and 5 matched longitudinal) samples after quality evaluation. UMAP accurately clustered cells from each patient. Long-term survivors (LTS) had heterogenous baseline immune cell infiltrates of plasma cells, neutrophils, and CD8 (+) cytotoxic T cells. In matched samples of LTS, evolution of more prominent CD8 (+) T cells, macrophage, plasma cell, and neutrophil were observed. Single nucleus T-Cell Receptor sequencing for clonal trajectory inference will be done to determine the associated single cell molecular features contributing to iPDAC and identify novel targets for future intervention.
