Sex cord-stromal tumors are rare in pediatric patients. Leydig cell tumors are a rare subset of sex cord-stromal tumors characterized by unique molecular alterations, including TERT fusions and mutations of CTNNB1, FOXO4, TP53, NBN, MTOR, BAP1, MEN1, and CREBBP. We report a case of a testicular Leydig cell tumor with an EWSR1::CREM fusion, which to our knowledge has not been previously reported in this setting.
性索间质肿瘤在儿科患者中较为罕见。睾丸间质细胞瘤是性索间质肿瘤中罕见的一个亚型,其特征是具有独特的分子改变,包括端粒酶逆转录酶(TERT)融合以及β-连环蛋白1(CTNNB1)、叉头框蛋白O4(FOXO4)、肿瘤蛋白p53(TP53)、Nibrin(NBN)、哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(MTOR)、BRCA1相关蛋白1(BAP1)、多发性内分泌肿瘤1型(MEN1)和环磷腺苷效应元件结合蛋白(CREBBP)的突变。我们报告了一例伴有尤文肉瘤 breakpoint region 1(EWSR1):: 肌细胞增强因子2C(CREM)融合的睾丸间质细胞瘤病例,据我们所知,此前在这种情况下尚未有过相关报道。
