Dedifferentiated carcinoma is defined as undifferentiated carcinoma coexisting with a second component of FIGO grade 1 or 2 endometrioid carcinoma. It is a rare entity with highly aggressive behavior. Dedifferentiated carcinoma combined with another primary uterine tumor is even rarer. We describe a case containing 3 different morphologies comprised of a dedifferentiated carcinoma associated with a low-grade endometrioid carcinoma coexisting with a low-grade Müllerian adenosarcoma. We also used targeted genomic analysis to show all 3 components arise from the same founding clone and identify novel mutations that drive tumor progression.
去分化癌被定义为与FIGO 1级或2级子宫内膜样癌的第二种成分共存的未分化癌。它是一种具有高度侵袭性的罕见实体。去分化癌合并另一种原发性子宫肿瘤则更为罕见。我们描述了一例包含3种不同形态的病例,由与低级别子宫内膜样癌共存的去分化癌和低级别苗勒管腺肉瘤组成。我们还使用靶向基因组分析来表明所有3种成分均来自同一个原始克隆,并鉴定出驱动肿瘤进展的新突变。
