Mucinous Tubular and Spindle-Cell Carcinoma of the Kidney: Clinical Features, Genomic Profiles, and Treatment Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Mucinous tubular and spindle-cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare kidney cancer subtype with limited cases reported in the literature. We report on outcomes of 25 patients with this variant who were managed at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The institution database was queried, and clinical data extracted for patients with MTSCC. Molecular features examined included next-generation sequencing with Memorial Sloan Kettering Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets and allele-specific copy number analysis using the Fraction and Allele-Specific Copy Number Estimates from Tumor Sequencing (FACETS) algorithm in a subset of patients. RESULTS:All patients underwent primary tumor-directed therapy (nephrectomy = 23, cryoablation = 2). Metastases were diagnosed in 6 patients (24%), 3 (12%) of whom had de novo metastatic disease. Five of 6 patients with metastatic disease had high-grade histological features compared with 0 of 19 nonmetastatic patients (83% vs. 0%; P < .001, Fisher exact test). Three-year overall survival from diagnosis was 84.8% (95% confidence interval, 59.6-94.9) with a median follow-up time of 3.9 years (range, 1 month to 10.3 years). Three deaths occurred, all from metastatic disease. Four patients received systemic therapy with time to treatment failure ?6 months across different agents with the exception of 1 patient with prolonged response with sunitinib treatment (30.6 months). The most frequent molecular alterations were neurofibromin 2 mutations (n = 2; 40%), germline alterations (n = 2; 40%) including checkpoint kinase 2 and BRCA2 DNA repair associated mutations, multiple chromosomal copy number losses, and mismatch repair deficiency in 1 patient. CONCLUSION:MTSCC is characterized by localized tumors treated successfully with primary tumor-directed therapy. However, patients with high-grade histological features were more likely to develop metastatic disease with limited responses to standard therapies.

Project description:Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma with characteristic histologic features and chromosomal alterations. Although typically indolent, a small subset of cases has been reported to exhibit aggressive clinical behavior. We retrospectively identified 33 patients with MTSCC, consisting of 10 cases of locally advanced/metastatic MTSCC (pT3 or N1 or M1) and 23 kidney-confined MTSCC (pT1/T2) without disease recurrence or progression. Utilizing a single-nucleotide polymorphism array and a targeted next-generation sequencing platform, we examined genome-wide molecular alterations in 24 cases, including 11 available samples from 8 patients with locally advanced/metastatic MTSCC. Ten patients with locally advanced/metastatic MTSCC were 8 females (80%) and 2 males (20%). At nephrectomy, 7 of these 10 cases (70%) were pT3 or pN1 while the remaining 3 (30%) were pT1/T2. Eight patients (80%) developed metastases and common sites included lymph node (4, 40%), bone (4, 40%), and retroperitoneum (3, 30%). Four patients died of disease (40%) during follow-up. Locally advanced/metastatic MTSCCs shared typical MTSCC genomic profiles with loss of chromosomes 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 22, while some exhibited additional complex genomic alterations, most frequently a relative gain of 1q (7/8). Homozygous loss of CDKN2A/B was observed in 3 (38%) locally advanced/metastatic MTSCCs. Tumor necrosis, solid nested/sheet pattern, irregular trabecular/single-file infiltration in a desmoplastic stroma, lymphovascular space invasion, and increased mitotic activity were associated with locally advanced/metastatic MTSCCs (all p < 0.05). Our findings reveal that MTSCCs with aggressive clinical behavior have progressed through clonal evolution; CDKN2A/B deletion and additional complex genomic abnormalities may contribute to this process. Recognizing the morphologic presentation of high-grade MTSCC and evaluating adverse histologic features seen in these tumors can help establish a definitive diagnosis and stratify patients for treatment and prognostication.

Project description:BackgroundInvasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) of the lung is a rare and distinct subtype of adenocarcinoma that can appear as airspace opacities on computed tomography (CT). In daily practice, we have occasionally encountered spontaneous regression of airspace opacities (SRAs) without treatment on serial CTs in patients with IMAs, which has not previously been described in the literature. Here, we describe serial CT findings with emphasis on SRAs in relation to clinicopathological features and treatment outcomes in patients with IMAs.MethodsA total of 46 patients with pathologically-confirmed IMAs of the lung from January 2013 to June 2018 were included. Serial CT scans were reviewed and the patients were classified into SRA and no-SRA groups according to the presence of SRA. Radiological features, clinicopathological characteristics, and treatment outcomes were compared between the SRA and no-SRA groups.ResultsA total of 32 patients were included in the no-SRA group and 14 patients in the SRA group. IMAs in the SRA group were mostly pneumonic (P < 0.001), larger (P < 0.001), multifocal (P = 0.001), and showed higher stage (P < 0.001) on initial CT. Of seven patients who died during follow-up, six were from the SRA group (P < 0.001). Mean overall survival for all IMAs was 86.6 months (range, 0-110 months), and the SRA group showed significantly worse overall survival (P < 0.001).ConclusionsIMAs of the lung showing SRAs on serial CTs are larger and multifocal, and tend to be pneumonic in type on initial CT. Patients present at a higher stage of disease, with higher mortality rate and reduced overall survival.Key pointsSIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: Invasive mucinous adenocarcinomas (IMAs) of the lung can show spontaneous regression of airspace opacities (SRAs) on serial CTs, without being correlated to the administration of anticancer drugs. IMAs that showed SRAs demonstrated reduced overall survival in patients.What this study addsWhen airspace opacities show regression on CT, IMA should still be included in the differential diagnosis. A more careful application of RECIST 1.1 is needed in the assessment of tumor response of IMAs.
