A new entity termed "myoepithelioma-like tumor of the vulvar region (MELTVR)" has been proposed as a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of the vulvar area. Histologically, MELTVRs are usually similar to soft tissue myoepitheliomas; however, they have a characteristic immunoprofile, including positivity for estrogen receptor and negativity for S100 protein, and loss of SMARCB1 expression. In this first known case report of MELTVR, the authors present a case of MELTVR that was histologically categorized in a nonmyxoid spindle-cell tumor group and resembled solitary fibrous tumor rather than soft tissue myoepithelioma.
一种新的实体瘤被命名为“外阴区域肌上皮瘤样肿瘤(MELTVR)”,它被认为是外阴区域罕见的间叶性肿瘤。从组织学上看,MELTVR通常与软组织肌上皮瘤相似;然而,它们具有特征性的免疫表型,包括雌激素受体阳性、S100蛋白阴性以及SMARCB1表达缺失。在这篇首例已知的MELTVR病例报告中,作者呈现了一例MELTVR病例,该病例在组织学上被归类于非黏液性梭形细胞瘤组,且更类似于孤立性纤维瘤而非软组织肌上皮瘤。
