1 Tumores de células pequeñas, redondas y azules: diagnóstico diferencial cuando el tiempo apremia Sílvia Bagué Servei de Patologia Hospital de Sant Pau Barcelona

2 Soft tissue sarcomas Heterogeneous group of rare malignancies Both rarity and heterogeneity affects diagnostic accuracy Most of tissue tumors are classified according to the type of normal mesenchymal cell or tissue that they most closely recapitulate ( differentiation )

3 Approach to diagnosis Clinical data & radiology H-E (morphology) Immunohistochemistry Molecular and cytogenetics

4 Clinical & radiological data: essential!! 1. Age, symptoms, site, size, previous history (cancer, RT ) 2. Associated syndromes or genetic disorders(li Fraumeni, Ollier, AFP, NF-1, RB1 )

5 Role of core biopsy (H&E) Is the lesion benign or malignant? if malignant, is it a sarcoma (mesenchymal)? and what type of sarcoma is it? (histologic type & grading)

6 Cellular morphology & stroma Spindle Pleomorphic Lipomatous Epithelioid Round cell Myxoid

7 Small round & blue cell tumors

8 Small round & blue cell tumors Rhabdomyosarcoma Ewing sarcoma Ewing-like sarcomas Desmoplastic SRCT PD Syn S Myoepithelial tumors Mesenchymal Ch Neuroblastoma Lymphoma Small cell carcinoma Mainly in children & adolescents High-grade by definition Often translocated-sarcomas

9 Incidence Rates per Million Population, Children (0-14), Great Britain Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas: [50%] [15%]

11 Neuroblastoma Clinical history Newborn, 7 m. Abdominal mass

12 Clinical history Boy, 12 y-o. Intraabdominal masses DSRCT

13 Mesenchymal chondrosarcoma Young adults (15-35 yrs) <10% chondrosarc Bone: maxilla, ribs, pelvis, vertebra 20-30%: soft tissue Biphasic pattern

14 Immunohistochemistry Diferential diagnosis between mesenchymal/non-mesenchymal tumor (carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma) Standard method for establishing the line of differentiation (vascular, neural, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, myofibroblastic) Facilitates the differential diagnosis and classification of a spindle and / or round cell neoplasms Detection of underlying molecular alterations Do not provide information about benign or malignant LMS h-caldesmon

30 Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma Superior prognosis - Botryoid rhabdomyosarcoma - Spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma Intermediate prognosis - Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma Poor prognosis - Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma - Anaplastic rhabdomyosarcoma Required for patient management and tumor prognostication!

31 Desmoplastic small round cell tumor Clinical history Boy, 12 y-o. Intraabdominal masses

32 DSRCT: IHC & Genetics Malignant small round cell tumor associated with prominent stromal desmoplasia and polyphenotypic differentiation with a consistent translocation t(11;22)(p13;q12) and EWSR1-WT1 gene fusion. FISH: EWSR1 rearrangement

34 Clinical data & imaging CNB / FNA Specimen work up FNA ME sample CNB H&E Frozen (biobanking) IHC Molecular pathology Final diagnosis

35 In summary: Accurate diagnosis provides appropriate clinical decision making Histotype: predictor of outcome Conventional morphology still powerful tool.although overlapping histologic features create diagnostic challenges Integration with immunohistochemistry is a diagnostic standard Molecular genetics helpful in increasing situations - only in context with morphology! - same genetic alterations in unrelated entities
