Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), formerly known as malignant fibrous histiocytoma, is a high-grade soft tissue sarcoma arising from mesenchymal stem cells. UPSs are rare and account for about 5% of all soft tissue sarcoma. UPSs arising in the head and neck are especially rare, comprising 1-3% of all UPSs.
In this report, we describe 2 cases of intraocular UPS. Both cases concern 68-year-old males: one developing a UPS in an eviscerated socket after a chronic fibrinous inflammation and the other years after ocular trauma.
Our cases may support the hypothesis of chronic inflammation playing a role in sarcoma formation as they are characterized by a longstanding history of (surgical) trauma with signs of chronic inflammation and phthisis bulbi.
未分化多形性肉瘤(UPS),以前称为恶性纤维组织细胞瘤,是一种起源于间充质干细胞的高级别软组织肉瘤。UPS很罕见,约占所有软组织肉瘤的5%。头颈部发生的UPS尤其罕见,占所有UPS的1-3%。
在本报告中,我们描述了2例眼内UPS病例。两例均为68岁男性:一例在慢性纤维蛋白性炎症后于眼球摘除后的眼窝内发生UPS,另一例在眼外伤多年后发生。
我们的病例可能支持慢性炎症在肉瘤形成中起作用的假说,因为它们的特征是有(手术)创伤的长期病史以及慢性炎症和眼球痨的迹象。
