Recurrent fibrous solitary tumor of the parotid gland with satellite location: imaging, clinical and histological findings of rare entity.

ABSTRACT: Fibrous Solitary Tumors are infrequent neoplasms originating from mesenchymal tissues, most commonly arising from the visceral pleura and frequently exhibiting a benign behavior. Extra-pleural localization is unusual and the site of origin of these tumors from the parenchyma of the parotid gland is considered extremely rare. We report the case of a 66-years old woman with non-painful slow-growing left latero-cervical mass, who underwent a gadolinium-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging showing a mass originating from the deep lobe of the parotid gland extending into the retro-pharyngeal space. After a total parotidectomy with tumor excision, a diagnosis of histologically proven fibrous solitary tumor of the parotid gland was made. Two years later, CT scan showed post-operative recurrence and further satellite localization in the neck, distant from the initial mass. We performed a literature review of the published similar cases, in order to clinicopathological and imaging features of this rare entity.

Solitary fibrous tumor behind the pubic bone: A rare case report.

Project description:Solitary fibrous tumors (SFT) is a rare type of soft tissue tumors and there have been only a few reported cases of SFTs at the perineum region. We report a SFT below the pubic bone in a 35-year-old male causing compression on his corpus spongiosum. The patient underwent en bloc tumor resection with preservation of spermatic vessels and the bladder neck. Pathological evaluation and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining with CD34(+), CD99(+), STAT6(+), S100(-) and Desmin(-) confirmed the diagnosis of SFT. Surgery plays a key role in treatment strategies and pathological examination with IHC is important in the diagnosis of SFTs.

A rare case of retroperitoneal solitary fibrous tumors and literature review.

Project description:Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFT) is a relatively rare occupying lesion, which often originated from the pleura and has been reported in a series of reports. However, there are few reports on retroperitoneal SFT. To better understand its biological behavior, clinical diagnosis and follow-up strategy, this case studied the manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal SFT in a 57-year-old woman, and reviewed the relevant literature.

Whole-exome sequencing identifies a recurrent NAB2-STAT6 fusion in solitary fibrous tumors.

Project description:Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors. Here, we describe the identification of a NAB2-STAT6 fusion from whole-exome sequencing of 17 SFTs. Analysis in 53 tumors confirmed the presence of 7 variants of this fusion transcript in 29 tumors (55%), representing a lower bound for fusion frequency at this locus and suggesting that the NAB2-STAT6 fusion is a distinct molecular feature of SFTs.

Identification of recurrent NAB2-STAT6 gene fusions in solitary fibrous tumor by integrative sequencing.

Project description:A 44-year old woman with recurrent solitary fibrous tumor (SFT)/hemangiopericytoma was enrolled in a clinical sequencing program including whole-exome and transcriptome sequencing. A gene fusion of the transcriptional repressor NAB2 with the transcriptional activator STAT6 was detected. Transcriptome sequencing of 27 additional SFTs identified the presence of a NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion in all tumors. Using RT-PCR and sequencing, we detected this fusion in all 51 SFTs, indicating high levels of recurrence. Expression of NAB2-STAT6 fusion proteins was confirmed in SFT, and the predicted fusion products harbor the early growth response (EGR)-binding domain of NAB2 fused to the activation domain of STAT6. Overexpression of the NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion induced proliferation in cultured cells and activated the expression of EGR-responsive genes. These studies establish NAB2-STAT6 as the defining driver mutation of SFT and provide an example of how neoplasia can be initiated by converting a transcriptional repressor of mitogenic pathways into a transcriptional activator.

A series of two cases of rare tumors: Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.

Project description:Solitary fibrous tumors of the pleura (SFTPs) are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin most commonly arising in the pleura and have a benign biological behavior in the majority of cases. Most patients with SFTPs are asymptomatic; however, symptoms are mostly related to the mass effect within the thoracic cavity. Chest computed tomography (CT) scanning is the radiographic test of choice, but findings lack specificity. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for most patients. Long-term survival after resection of benign SFTPs is excellent. In this case series, we present two females, one presented with shortness of breath (SOB) and nonproductive cough and the other one was referred because of abnormal x-ray findings. The histological as well as the immunohistochemical examination revealed the mass to be a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura.

The accessory parotid gland and facial process of the parotid gland on computed tomography.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of an anterior extension of the parotid gland, such as an accessory parotid gland (APG) or facial process (FP) and to evaluate its characteristics on computed tomography (CT) scans. We reviewed CT scans of 1,600 parotid glands from 800 patients. An APG on CT was defined as a soft-tissue mass of the same density as the main parotid gland, located at the anterior part of the main parotid gland, and completely separate from the main parotid gland. An FP was defined as a lobe of the parotid gland protruding anteriorly over the anterior edge of the ramus of the mandible on CT and showing continuity with the main gland. The overall incidence rates and characteristics of APGs and FPs were evaluated according to age, sex, and side. The incidence rates of APGs and FPs were 10.2% (163/1,600) and 28.3% (452/1,600), respectively. The mean size of an APG was 15.8 mm × 5.0 mm and the mean distance from the main parotid gland was 10.5 mm. The FP reached anteriorly between the anterior edge of the mandibular ramus and the anterior border of the masseter muscle in 405 (89.6%) cases, while it extended over the anterior border of the masseter muscle in 47 (10.4%) cases. The incidence rates of APGs and FPs decreased and increased, respectively, with increasing age, showing significant linear correlations. However, the incidence of an anterior extension of the parotid gland (either an APG or an FP) was similar across all age groups. The present study showed that CT might be helpful in identifying anterior extensions of the parotid gland including APGs and FPs. The anatomical information gained from this study contributes to a better understanding of APGs and FPs and how their incidence changes with age.
