A 26-year-old male was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery of a tertiary care hospital in Lahore with chief complaint of painless swelling on the right palate of 40 days duration. Clinical differential diagnosis included squamous cell carcinoma, Ewing sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, neuroblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma. Computed tomography scan revealed hypodense mass with necrotic changes. Histological examination of the excised tumor revealed malignant neoplasm arranged in fascicles and bundles comprising of spindle cells with pleomorphic, hyperchromatic nuclei and increased atypical mitosis. Immunohistochemical analysis showed negative staining with Cytokeratin, S100, CD34, Stat6, h-Caldesmon and EMA while the tumour cells were positive for desmin, myogenin, smooth muscle actin, CD-99 and MyoD1 thus confirming the diagnosis of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma.
一名26岁男性因右侧上腭无痛性肿胀40天被转诊至拉合尔一家三级护理医院的口腔颌面外科。临床鉴别诊断包括鳞状细胞癌、尤因肉瘤、纤维肉瘤、神经母细胞瘤和横纹肌肉瘤。计算机断层扫描显示低密度肿块伴有坏死改变。切除肿瘤的组织学检查显示恶性肿瘤呈束状和条索状排列,由具有多形性、核深染和非典型有丝分裂增加的梭形细胞组成。免疫组织化学分析显示细胞角蛋白、S100、CD34、信号转导和转录激活因子6、h-钙调蛋白和上皮膜抗原染色均为阴性,而肿瘤细胞结蛋白、肌细胞生成素、平滑肌肌动蛋白、CD-99和肌分化抗原1呈阳性,从而确诊为梭形细胞横纹肌肉瘤。
