1 Update on Cutaneous Mesenchymal Tumors Thomas Brenn

2 Cutaneous Mesenchymal Tumours Wide morphological and biological spectrum Myofibroblastic, smooth muscle, neural, vascular, apidocytic, undifferentiated; rare rhabdomyoblastic or osseous Spindle cell, epithelioid, pleomorphic, vasoformative, fat forming Benign to intermediate and high-grade malignant Vast majority is benign Distinctive behavior of malignant tumors presenting in the skin High grade cutaneous sarcomas exceptionally rare

3 Case History 80 year-old male rapidly enlarging, crateriform nodule on the scalp clinical suspicion of keratoacanthoma or squamous cell carcinoma unremarkable past medical history diagnostic curettage was a performed

12 Immunohistochemistry NEGATIVE MNF116 CK5/6 AE1/3 EMA P63 Desmin S100 Melan a CD31 CD34 ERG

13 Diagnosis: Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma

14 Follow-up: Negative Re-excision Pulmonary metastasis 8 months after biopsy Rapidly progressive disseminated disease Patient died 12 months after biopsy

15 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma Closely related to AFX: Same clinical setting, similar clinical presenting features Similar histologic and immunohistochemical features Similar underlying genetic events BUT Invasion of subcutis, tumor necrosis, LVI and PNI confer potential for aggressive behaviour

16 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma -Clinical Features- Sun-damaged skin Head and neck; scalp Elderly Strong male predilection Rapid growth Ulceration and bleeding 2.5 cm median Miller K, et al. Am J Surg Pathol. 2012; 36(9):

26 CD68 CD10 SMA EMA

27 S100 Melan A Fli-1 CD31

28 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma -Genetics- Frequent mutations in TP53 and TERT promoter FAT1 NOTCH1/2 CDKN2A But no difference AFX vs PDS Griewank KG, et al. Mod Pathol. 2014; 27(4): Helbig D, et al. Oncotarget. 2016; 7(16): Griewank KG, et al. Mod Pathol Mar;31(3):

29 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma -Prognosis- Risk for local recurrence (30%) Metastasis (10-20%) to skin, soft tissue, Lung Rare mortality (up to 20%) Behavior likely more aggressive but f/u limited due to advanced age at presentation and significant co-morbidities Miller K, et al. Am J Surg Pathol. 2012; 36(9): Tardío JC, et al. J Cutan Pathol. 2016; 43(2):

30 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma -Prognosis- Presence of metastatic disease associated with high associated mortality (50%) Wang WL, et al. Am J Dermatopathol. 2015; 37(6):

31 Wang WL, et al. Am J Dermatopathol. 2015; 37(6):

32 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma -Treatment- Complete excision with negative margins Consideration for adjuvant RTX if surgical clearance cannot be achieved Clinical follow-up

33 Atypical Fibroxanthoma / PDS Beware: Partial sampling, shave, curettage bx

34 AFX / PDS -Differential Diagnosis- Pleomorphic tumors on sun-damaged skin: Melanoma Poorly differentiated SCC Poorly differentiated angiosarcoma MPNST, DFSP, Leiomyosarcoma

35 Spindle Cell Squamous Cell Carcinoma MNF116

36 Spindle Cell Melanoma S100 Melan a

37 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma Cutaneous Angiosarcoma Thum C, et al. Ann Diagn Pathol. 2013;17(6):502-7.

38 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma -DDx- Cutaneous angiosarcoma: Significant clinical and morphological overlap Important distinction due to aggressive behaviour of cutaneous angiosarcoma

39 Pleomorphic Dermal Sarcoma Cutaneous Angiosarcoma CD31 CD31 Fli-1 Fli-1

43 CD10 cytokeratin S100 Melan A

44 Diagnosis: Atypical Fibroxanthoma?

45 Melan A

46 Melan A S100

47 Diagnosis: Dedifferentiated (sarcomatoid) melanoma

48 Dedifferentiated melanoma The availability of CD10 and PC1 as positive markers of AFX means it is no longer just a diagnosis of exclusion.
