Infantile fibrosarcoma (IFS) is malignant fibroblastic tumor of infants characterized genetically by ETV6::NTRK3 fusion. Tumors that show morphology indistinguishable from IFS but harbor alternative genetic alterations are uncommon, which have been designated as IFS-like tumors. We report two cases of IFS-like tumors harboring an NTRK1 rearrangement and arsing from genitourinary system. The patients aged 3 and 14 years. One arose in the kidney and one in the paratesticular region. The tumors measured 13 and 3.5 cm in greatest dimension. Both tumors were composed of cellular, mildly atypical, spindle to ovoid cells arranged haphazardly or in intersecting fascicles within a collagenized to myxoid stroma. Mitoses numbered 3 and 5/10 high-power fields. Tumor cells in both neoplasms demonstrated variable co-expression of CD34 and S100 protein, and diffuse and strong cytoplasmic staining for pan-TRK and TrkA. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization demonstrated NTRK1 rearrangement in both tumors. Targeted RNA-sequencing identified CPSF6::NTRK1 fusion and TMP3::NTRK1 fusion. Limited follow-up showed no tumor recurrences or metastases. We expand the clinicopathologic spectrum of IFS-like tumors harboring alternative NTRK1 fusions.
婴儿型纤维肉瘤(IFS)是一种婴儿期恶性纤维母细胞肿瘤,其遗传特征为 ETV6::NTRK3 融合。形态上与 IFS 无法区分但具有其他遗传改变的肿瘤并不常见,被称为 IFS 样肿瘤。我们报告了两例发生于泌尿生殖系统的 IFS 样肿瘤,其存在 NTRK1 重排。患者年龄分别为 3 岁和 14 岁。一例发生于肾脏,另一例发生于精索旁区。肿瘤最大径分别为 13cm 和 3.5cm。两例肿瘤均由细胞性、轻度非典型性、梭形至卵圆形细胞组成,排列杂乱或呈交叉束状,位于胶原化至黏液样基质中。核分裂象分别为 3 个/10 高倍视野和 5 个/10 高倍视野。两例肿瘤的细胞均表现出 CD34 和 S100 蛋白的可变共表达,以及 pan-TRK 和 TrkA 的弥漫强细胞质染色。荧光原位杂交显示两例肿瘤均存在 NTRK1 重排。靶向 RNA 测序鉴定出 CPSF6::NTRK1 融合和 TMP3::NTRK1 融合。有限的随访显示无肿瘤复发或转移。我们扩展了具有替代 NTRK1 融合的 IFS 样肿瘤的临床病理谱。
