Abstract | Following chemotherapy, a mediastinal germ cell tumor can lead to a mature teratoma that is composed of tissues derived from all three germ layers. Although teratoma is usually curable, in rare cases it can give rise to various somatic tumors and exceptionally it undergoes melanocytic neuroectodermal tumor (MNT) transformation, a process that is not well-described. We report a patient with a postchemotherapy thymic teratoma associated with an MNT component who, 10 years later, additionally presented a vertebral metastasis corresponding to an anaplastic MNT. Using exome sequencing of the mature teratoma, the MNT and its metastatic vertebral anaplastic MNT components, we identified 19 somatic mutations shared by at least two components. Six mutations were common to all three components, and three of them were located in the known cancer-related genes |
