    Benign vascular tumors, cysts and pseudocysts of the adrenal gland: a contemporary multi-institutional clinicopathologic analysis of 55 cases
    (Elsevier, 2018) Zheng, Wei; Fung, Kar-Ming; Cheng, Liang; Osunkoya, Adeboye O.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    Benign adrenal vascular tumors, cysts and pseudocysts are a heterogeneous group of relatively uncommon entities that may pose diagnostic challenges radiologically and pathologically. However, there are only a few small cases series, systematically characterizing the clinicopathologic features of these lesions. We identified 55 cases of benign adrenal vascular tumors, cysts and pseudocysts (23 pseudocysts, 17 hemangiomas, 8 lymphangiomas, 6 angiomatous endothelial cysts and 1 arteriovenous malformation) from a multi-institutional Urologic Pathology database between 2000–2017, and retrospectively analyzed their clinicopathologic features. We found that these lesions have a female predominance and the majority are right-sided. These lesions may occur simultaneously with other adrenal tumors associated with hormonal hypersecretion. A substantial portion of pseudocysts were semi-solid or solid with no fluid collection, mimicking a solid adrenal tumor, and resulting in adrenalectomy. In addition, a small proportion of benign vascular lesions may have coexisting epithelial tumors, requiring extensive specimen sampling and thorough microscopic examination.

    Distinct clinicopathological features in metanephric adenoma harboring BRAF mutation
    (Impact Journals, 2016-07-08) Caliò, Anna; Eble, John N.; Hes, Ondrej; Martignoni, Guido; Harari, Saul E.; Williamson, Sean R.; Brunelli, Matteo; Osunkoya, Adeboye O.; Wang, Lisha; Comperat, Eva; Lopez-Beltran, Antonio; Wang, Mingsheng; Zhang, Shaobo; Curless, Kendra L.; Post, Kristin M.; Chang, Hsim-Yee; Luchini, Claudio; Baldrige, Lee Ann; MacLennan, Gregory T.; Montironi, Rodolfo; Grignon, David J.; Cheng, Liang; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    BRAF mutation recently has been reported in metanephric adenoma. We sought to determine the clinical and morphologic features of BRAF-mutated metanephric adenoma and to correlate BRAF mutation with BRAF V600E immunohistochemical staining results. A series of 48 metanephric adenomas and 15 epithelial-predominant nephroblastomas were analyzed for the occurrence of BRAF mutation (BRAF V600E/V600E complex, BRAF V600D, BRAF V600K and BRAF V600R) using the BRAF RGQ PCR kit (Qiagen). Immunohistochemistry was performed using monoclonal mouse antibodies against p16INK4 and VE1 (Spring Bioscience), recognizing the BRAF V600E mutant protein. Forty-one of 48 cases (85%) showed BRAF V600E mutation; none of the other BRAF variants was detected. Of 41 BRAF-mutated metanephric adenomas, 33 showed positive VE1 immunostaining (sensitivity 80%, specificity 100%); in all cases we detected p16INK4 expression regardless of BRAF mutation status. All epithelial-predominant nephroblastomas were BRAF-wild-type and none expressed VE1. The following features were associated with BRAF V600E mutation: older patients (p=0.01), female predominance (p=0.005) and the presence of a predominantly acinar architecture (p=0.003). In summary, BRAF-mutated metanephric adenomas were associated with older age, female predominance, and the presence of a predominant acinar component. A subset (20%) of BRAF-mutated metanephric adenomas was not detected by VE1 immunostaining.

    (Springer, 2022-11-01) Akgul, Mahmut; Humble, Robert; Osme, Abdullah; Yuce, Servet; Kocak, Elif N.; Najafzade, Parisa; Sangoi, Ankur; Pattnaik, Niharika; Mishra, Sourav; Sharma, Shivani; Shaker, Nada; Kaushal, Seema; Baisakh, Manas; Lightle, Andrea R.; Balzer, Bonnie L.; Xiao, Guang-Qian; MacLennan, Gregory T.; Osunkoya, Adeboye O.; Parwani, Anil; Cheng, Liang; Bellizzi , Andrew; Mohanty, Sambit K.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    Background Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the lower urinary tract (CCACLUT) is a rare primary malignant neoplasm with heterogenous morphology. There is a paucity of data in the literature regarding its immunohistochemical profile. Methods The immunohistochemical features (extent and intensity) of a multinational cohort of CCACLUT were evaluated with comparison between clear cell adenocarcinoma of the female genital tract (CCACFGT, tissue microarray) and nephrogenic adenoma (NA). Results 33 CCACLUT (24 female, 9 male; mean age 59 years) were collected. CCACLUT most commonly arose from the urinary bladder (26/33, 78%), particularly from the trigone (10/33, 30.3%) followed by the urethra (8/33, 22%). All 12 NA cases were located at the urinary bladder, whereas the most common CCACFGT location was the ovary (29/56, 52%). None of the CCACLUT patients had, intestinal metaplasia, NA, or urothelial carcinoma. One patient had concurrent endometriosis of the sigmoid colon. Most frequently observed morphology in CCACLUT was papillary/tubulocystic (9/3; 27.3%), followed by papillary/tubular (6/33; 18.2%) and papillary/solid (5/33; 15.2%). GATA3 expression was significantly higher in CCACLUT (18/33, 54.5%) and NA (6/12, 50%), when compared to CCACFGT cases 6/56, 11.7%)(p = 0.001 and p = 0.022, respectively). The extent of GATA3 was significantly higher in CCACLUT group (19.2 ± 16.6%) than the other groups (9.6 ± 22.5% in NA and 2.6 ± 9% in CCACFGT group) (p = 0.001). 4/33 patients (12.1) had weak, 10/33 patients (30.3%) had moderate, and 4/33 patients (12.1%) had strong GATA3 intensity in CCACLUT group. In NA group, one patient (8.3%, 1/12) had weak, one patient (8.3%, 1/12) had moderate and 4 patients (33.3%, 4/12) had strong GATA3 intensity. Most cases (CCACLUT 29/33, 88%; NA 11/12, 92%; CCACFGT 46/56, 82.1%) had positive Napsin A expression, by which CCACLUT had significantly more cases with Napsin A expression (p = 0.034). p63 was consistently negative in all cases (30/33 (91.9%) CCACLUT; 12/12 (100%) NA; 42/56 (75%) CCACFGT. Ki67 (MIB) proliferation index was significantly higher in CCACLUT group (54.6 ± 21%) when compared to NA group (4.5 ± 2.7%) and CCACFGT group (35.5 ± 25.8%) (p = 0.001). Conclusion CCACLUT has consistent GATA3 expression, which may cause challenge in the diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma but can be used to distinguish CCACLUT from CCACFGT.

    Invasive poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of the bladder following augmentation cystoplasty: a multi-institutional clinicopathological study
    (Elsevier, 2021) Anderson, Joshua A.; Matoso, Andres; Murati Amador, Belkiss I.; Cheng, Liang; Stohr, Bradley A.; Chan, Emily; Osunkoya, Adeboye O.; Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    Augmentation cystoplasty is a surgical procedure used in the management of patients with neurogenic bladder. This procedure involves anastomosis of the bladder with gastrointestinal grafts, including portions of ileum, colon, or stomach. A rare but important complication of augmentation cystoplasty is the development of malignancy. The majority of malignancies arising in this setting have been described in case reports. A search for cases of non-urothelial carcinoma following augmentation cystoplasty was conducted through the urological pathology files of four major academic institutions. Ten cases were identified, including six cystoprostatectomy/cystectomy, two partial cystectomy, and two transurethral resection of bladder tumour specimens. The mean patient age at diagnosis was 47 years (range 27-87 years). The male:female ratio was 4:6. The tumours tended to present at an advanced stage; four cystoprostatectomy/cystectomy cases were categorised as pT3a, one was categorised as pT3b, and one was categorised as pT4a. Lymph node metastases were present in all cases which had lymph node excision (range 1-16 positive nodes per case). The majority of cases (90%) were predominantly characterised by a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma with signet ring cell features. Other morphological features included mucinous features (30%), plasmacytoid features (20%), enteric/villous architecture (10%), and large cell undifferentiated morphology (10%). This is the largest study to date on the clinicopathological features of invasive non-urothelial carcinoma of the bladder following augmentation cystoplasty. The tumours are typically poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, with diffuse signet ring cell features, aggressive, and present at high stage. Further molecular characterisation may provide additional insights into the pathogenesis of this entity.

    Renal medullary carcinomas (RMCs) and collecting duct carcinomas (CDCs) are rare subsets of lethal high-stage, high-grade distal nephron-related adenocarcinomas with a predilection for the renal medullary region. Recent findings have established an emerging group of fumarate hydratase (FH)-deficient tumors related to hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC-RCCs) syndrome within this morphologic spectrum. Recently developed, reliable ancillary testing has enabled consistent separation between these tumor types. Here, we present the clinicopathologic features and differences in the morphologic patterns between RMC, CDC, and FH-deficient RCC in consequence of these recent developments. This study included a total of 100 cases classified using contemporary criteria and ancillary tests. Thirty-three RMCs (SMARCB1/INI1-deficient, hemoglobinopathy), 38 CDCs (SMARCB1/INI1-retained), and 29 RCCs defined by the FH-deficient phenotype (FH/2SC or FH/2SC with FH mutation, regardless of HLRCC syndromic stigmata/history) were selected. The spectrum of morphologic patterns was critically evaluated, and the differences between the morphologic patterns present in the 3 groups were analyzed statistically. Twenty-five percent of cases initially diagnosed as CDC were reclassified as FH-deficient RCC on the basis of our contemporary diagnostic approach. Among the different overlapping morphologic patterns, sieve-like/cribriform and reticular/yolk sac tumor-like patterns favored RMCs, whereas intracystic papillary and tubulocystic patterns favored FH-deficient RCC. The tubulopapillary pattern favored both CDCs and FH-deficient RCCs, and the multinodular infiltrating papillary pattern favored CDCs. Infiltrating glandular and solid sheets/cords/nested patterns were not statistically different among the 3 groups. Viral inclusion-like macronucleoli, considered as a hallmark of HLRCC-RCCs, were observed significantly more frequently in FH-deficient RCCs. Despite the overlapping morphology found among these clinically aggressive infiltrating high-grade adenocarcinomas of the kidney, reproducible differences in morphology emerged between these categories after rigorous characterization. Finally, we recommend that definitive diagnosis of CDC should only be made if RMC and FH-deficient RCC are excluded.

    Solitary fibrous tumour of the genitourinary tract: a clinicopathological study of 11 cases and their association with the NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene
    (BMJ, 2017) Kouba, Erik; Simper, Novae B.; Chen, Shaoxiong; Williamson, Sean R.; Grignon, David J.; Eble, John N.; MacLennan, Gregory T.; Montironi, Rodolfo; Lopez-Beltran, Antonio; Osunkoya, Adeboye O.; Zhang, Shaobo; Wang, Mingsheng; Wang, Lisha; Tran, Thu; Emerson, Robert E.; Baldridge, Lee Ann; Monn, M. Francesca; Linos, Konstantinos; Cheng, Liang; Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, School of Medicine
    Aims To characterise clinicopathological features and clinical outcomes of the genitourinary tract solitary fibrous tumours, incorporating NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion status. Methods The presence of the molecular hallmark NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion and for the defining fusion partner product STAT6 was assessed in 11 cases of the genitourinary tract solitary fibrous tumours. NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion analysis was performed using a break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) probe using a probe cocktail with Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones for STAT6 and NAB2. Results Eleven solitary fibrous tumours were diagnosed in eight male patients and three female patients with a mean age of 46 years (range: 11–64 years). Four of the tumours had malignant histological features, and three were considered moderate risk for metastasis. With a mean follow-up time of 61 months, 1 recurred locally and 2 presented at distant metastatic sites. Using a break-apart FISH probe cocktail, we found the NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion and nuclear STAT6 expression in 58% and 91% of cases, respectively. However, the NAB2-STAT6 fusion status was not correlated with STAT6 expression or useful in discriminating between malignant histological features or subsequent clinical outcomes in the genitourinary solitary fibrous tumours. Conclusions A subset of solitary fibrous tumours of the genitourinary tract behaved aggressively. Using a break-apart FISH probe cocktail, we found the NAB2-STAT6 gene fusion in 64% of cases. However, the NAB2-STAT6 fusion status was not correlated with STAT6 expression or useful in discriminating between low-risk or high-risk tumours and subsequent clinical outcomes.
