Gastrointestinal clear cell sarcoma is a rare tumor with neuroectodermal differentiation that affects the gastrointestinal tract and involves gene fusion translocations of EWSR1. These tumors predominantly occur in young adults and often display aggressive behavior, with metastases to lymph nodes and the liver. Histologically, the tumor comprises uniform round cells with round nuclei and pale eosinophilic or clear cytoplasm. It exhibits variable mitotic activity and demonstrates positive immunohistochemical staining for S100 and SOX10, while specific melanocytic markers are negative. Currently, no tailored chemotherapy regimen has been identified for this entity. Due to the limited number of reported cases, effective management strategies remain unclear. Here, we present the case of a young adult patient diagnosed with CCS/GNET using immunohistochemistry. The diagnosis was confirmed by next-generation sequencing (NGS), which detected the characteristic EWSR1-ATF1 gene fusion, and liver metastases were identified during follow-up.
胃肠道透明细胞肉瘤是一种罕见的具有神经外胚层分化的肿瘤,累及胃肠道并涉及EWSR1基因融合易位。这些肿瘤主要发生在年轻人中,常表现出侵袭性,可转移至淋巴结和肝脏。组织学上,肿瘤由核圆形、胞质淡嗜酸性或透明的均匀圆形细胞组成。它具有不同程度的有丝分裂活性,免疫组化染色显示S100和SOX10阳性,而特异性黑素细胞标志物为阴性。目前,尚未确定针对该实体的定制化疗方案。由于报道的病例数量有限,有效的管理策略仍不明确。在此,我们报告一例通过免疫组化诊断为CCS/GNET的年轻成年患者。通过下一代测序(NGS)证实了诊断,该检测发现了特征性的EWSR1-ATF1基因融合,随访期间发现有肝转移。
