Myoepithelial tumors of Soft
Tissue

Myoepitholiomas and mixed tumors of soft
tissue were recently recognized
 Few case numbers:
(1)Kilpatrick SE,Hitchcock MG,Kraus MD et al. Am.J
Surg Pathol. 1997;21:13-22=>19 cases
(2)Michal M,Miettinen M,Virchows Arch.1999;434:393400.=>12 cases
Myoepithelial tumors of Soft
Tissue

Myoepithelioma and mixed tumor(61 cases)
=>tumor with benign cytomorphology or mild
cytologic atypia(low grade)
 Myoepithelial carcinoma and malignant
mixed tumor(40 cases)
=>moderate to severe atypia(high-grade)
Clinical Findings

Male : female≒ 1:1(♂:53 cases;♀:48
cases )
 Age:3 ~83 years with a peak in 3rd to 5th
decades (mean age:38 years)
 Symptoms:painless or painful mass
 Location:most common in limbs and limb
girdle.
 Subcuits and deep soft tissue

Macroscopic Features

Size: 0.7 to 20 cm (mean 4.7cm)
 Well circumscribed mostly ,nodular or
lobulated
 Firm or hard

 Glistening ,myxoid or gelatinous cut surface
 Few with necrosis (2 cases)
Microscopic Features

intersecting cords of in variable amount of
chondromyxoid(52 cases) or hyalinzed(14 cases)
stroma.
 Hypercellular and lacked significant stromal
component(19 cases)
Microscopic Features

Parachordoma :large epitheloid cells with
eosinophilic to clear,variably vacuolated
cytoblasm and abundant hyalined or
chondromyxoid stroma.
Microscopic Features

Tumor cells: epithelioid, spindled ,
plasmacytoid, parachordoma,clear cells or
pleomorphic cells
 Ductual differentiation(20%)
 Metaplastic components:
cartilaginous, osseous, squamous(six cases)
or adipocytic(one case)
Microscopic Features

Spindle cell myoepithelioma
 Pure plasmacytoid cell: plasmastoid
monomorphic adenoma or hyaline cell-rich
chondroid syringoma
 Pure epithelioid cells
Myoepithelioma


Initailly,composed of spindled or plasmacytoid
cells demonstrating a solid growth pattern
Variable matrix:myxoid or hyalinized stroma
Different architectural patterns:reticular, trabecular.
Epithelioid or clear cells
Ductal differentiation=>mixed tumor category
Ps 5~10% ductal differentiation in
myoepithelioma
Immunohistochemical Finding

Keratins and S-100 protein:nearly all are
positivehalf
 Calponin:nearly 86% (most sensitive
myogenic marker)
 GFAP:46%
 SMA:36%
 Desmin:14%
 CK14:32%
Myoepithelial tumors of Soft
Tissue
Treatment and Follow-up

Treatment:excision ; chemotherapy and
postoperative radiotherapy
 64 patients were followed
(1)Benign or low-grade cytology:33 cases
=>Local recurrence(18%):6 cases
=>Metastasis:none
(2)Cytological malignant:31 cases
=>Local recurrence(42%):13 cases
=>Metastases(32%):10 cases
=>Died of metastatic tumor:4 cases
Criteria for myoepithelial
carcinoma of soft tissue

Not yet to be well established.
 Moderate or severe cytologic atypia which
proved to be prognostically relevant.
 Invasive growth pattern is insufficient
unlike the salivary counterpart.
=>microscopically infiltrative margins with
no local recurrence or metastasis.
Criteria for myoepithelial
carcinoma of soft tissue

Benign or morphologically low grade soft tissue
myoepitheliomas with 18% recurrence and none
metastases
 Conclusion:
at least moderate cytologic atypia(prominent
nucleoli,vesicular or coarse chromatin,
pleomorphism) should warrant classification as
myoepithelial carcinoma with significant risk for
aggressive behavior and propensity for metastasis.

Mixed tumor
Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor.
Leiomyoma
Schwannoma
Metastatic carcinoma
Metastatic melanoma
Proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma
Differential Diagnosis

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.:
(1)Multinodular growth pattern with interlacing
cords of spindled cells in myxoid or
chondromyxoid stroma.
(2)Lack intratumoral heterogeneity ,lack mixture of
epitheloid and spindle cells
(3)S-100 protein in minority
(4)Epithelial and myogenic markers are rarely
positive
Differential Diagnosis

Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor
(1)Lobulated proliferation of pale-staining ovoid to
round cells in cords or nests in myxoid or
hyalinized stroma with peripherical rim of
metaplastic bone.
(2)S-100 protein(+):70%
(3)Desmin(+):50%=>myoepithlioma generally
negative
(4)GFAP:rare=>myoepithelioma nearly half positive
Differential Diagnosis

Leiomyoma:
(1)Broader cigar-shapped nuclei
(2)Desmin:majority are positive
=>myoepithelioma rarely positive
(3)S-100 protein:less 5% positive
(4)GFAP:negative
(5)keratin:positive(40%)
Differential Diagnosis

Schawannoma:
(1)Alternating cellular zones with nuclear
palisading and hypocellular myxoid zone
with hyaline vessels.
(2)S-100 protein and GFAP: positive
(3)Lack epithelial and myogenic makers.
Differential Diagnosis

Metastatic carcinoma:
(1)Lack myxoid stroma and mutinodular architecture
(2)Immunoreactivity of S-100 protein,GFAP and
myogenic markers supports a diagnosis of
myoepithlial carcinoma
 Metastatic melanoma:
(1)Myxoid storma is unusual
(2)GFAP,keratin and myogenic markers
exceptionally rare
Differential Diagnosis

Proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma:
(1)Morphologic uniformity and rhabdoid
cytomorphology is common.
(2)Positivity for EMA and keratins.
(3)Negativity for S-100 protein, GFAP,
myogenic markers.
PartII:Neonatal Intrahepatic
Cholestasis

interface hepatitis,mild
periportal fibrosis
NICCD

5 cases:
(1)One case received liver transplantation at
10 months of age
(2)Four cases:spontaneous improved by the
ages of 5-7 months
NICCD

About half of NICCD patients are detected on
newborn mass screening ( galactose ,
phenylalanine, methionine)
 Newborn neonatal screening for homozygote with
SLC25A13 mutation:
1/10000~1/38000 in East Asia

transpepidase,
(4)citrulline, tyrosine,methionine,threonine/serine
ration,

(7)mild hyperammonemia
(8) alpha-fetoprotein(not seen in CTLN2)
(9)hypoglycameia
NICCD
histological feature

Very rare report
 Variable pathological features:
=>minimal histological change,fatty change to
cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis
=>case 1(accept liver transplantation)
diffuse fatty changes of hepatocytes, cholestasis in
lobules with proliferation of bile ducts,portal to
portal bridging fibrosis and pseudolobules.
NICCD
conclusion

SLC25A13 gene mutationcitrin deficiency
hypercitrullinameia intrahepatic cholestasis
in infancy
 Often self-limiting and spontaneous
disappear:maturation of hepatocytes and/or
compensations of other mitochondrial carriers
 Compensatory failure is likely to occurred with
resultant relapse of the disease in adulthood(after
10 or more years)
NICCD
conclusion

Severe phenotype of NICCD may not be
that rare ,therefore patients with NICCD
should be followed up carefully,even during
infancy.
