    Abstract Spindle cell/sclerosing rbabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a recently characterized variant of RMS with several distinct molecular subtypes. We describe an example occurring in the tongue of a 10-year-old boy with a novel DCTN1::ALK fusion. The tumor exhibited infiltrative growth and was comprised of fascicles and focally whorls of spindle cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm, in a collagenous or myxoid stroma. Moderate cytologic atypia, mitotic activity (2/10 HPFs), and perineural invasion were identified. The tumor cells expressed actin, desmin, MyoD1, myogenin, and ALK. An in-frame fusion between DCTN1 exon 26 and ALK exon 20 was detected by RNA sequencing, which was confirmed by split reads and supported by FISH studies. The tumor showed an indolent behavior with local recurrence 3 years after excision. This study broadens the molecular spectrum of spindle cell/sclerosing RMS and this molecular aberration may represent a potential therapeutic target for unresectable or disseminated disease.

    Abstract The use of immunostain for PRAME antigen is well established for cutaneous melanolocytic lesions. However, its staining in other cutaneous structures and lesions is under reported. This study assessed PRAME staining in a large cohort of normal skin tissue, sebaceous lesions, and cutaneous carcinomas to better delineate patterns of PRAME immunoreactivity. PRAME immunostaining was performed on sections of sebaceous lesions and tissue microarrays of basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Normal cutaneous adnexal structures were assessed on the sections of sebaceous lesions. For sebaceous lesions and non-lesional sebaceous glands, PRAME immunostaining was assessed for mature, germinative and sebocytes independently. A total of 193 sebaceous lesions, 64 BCCs and 35 SCCs were stained for PRAME immunostain. Staining pattern was predominantly cytoplasmic in normal apocrine glands, germinative sebocytes of sebaceous glands, and hair germs (p<0.001). Lesional sebocytes did not show different staining compared to normal sebaceous glands (p>0.05). Rare nuclear staining was observed in the normal epidermis (0.6%) and junctional melanocytes (4.1%). BCC, SCC and sebaceous carcinoma all showed low levels of PRAME immunoreactivity with variable proportions of cases demonstrating nuclear staining (BCC 59.4%, SCC 37.1%, sebaceous carcinoma 5.3%). PRAME immunostaining is positive in germinative sebocytes, various cutaneous structures and carcinomas. Nuclear staining, identical to melanoma, was observed in normal epidermis, junctional melanocytes, BCCs, SCCs, and sebaceous carcinomas. The pattern of PRAME staining in the skin must be recognised to avoid pitfalls in interpretating PRAME immunostain.

    Abstract Ocular perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is exceedingly rare. We reported two examples involving the choroid and subconjunctival tissue, respectively, in patients aged 17 and 20 years. Both tumors comprised packets and sheets of large polygonal cells with moderately pleomorphic nuclei and prominent nucleoli, traversed by delicate fibrovascular septa. Melanin pigmentation was present in one case. The tumors showed HMB45 and TFE3 immunoreactivity. TFE3 gene translocation was confirmed by FISH break-apart probes. RNA seq revealed PRCC-TFE3 and NONO-TFE3 fusions, with the former representing the first description of PRCC-TFE3 in PEComa. Critical reappraisal of the reported cases showed that ocular PEComa frequently affected young patents with melanin pigmentation, frequent TFE3 protein expression, and/or TFE3 gene translocation. No recurrence or metastasis was reported after complete excision despite the presence of cytologic atypia.

    Abstract Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy is a standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer, for which pathological complete response is typically used as a surrogate survival endpoint. Neoadjuvant rectal score is a new biomarker that has been shown to correlate with survival. The main objectives of this study were to investigate factors contributing to pathological complete response, to validate the prognostic significance of neoadjuvant rectal score, and to investigate factors associated with a lower neoadjuvant rectal score in a cohort of Hong Kong Chinese.
    Methods: Data of patients with locally advanced rectal cancer who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy from August 2006 to October 2018 were retrieved from hospital records and retrospectively analysed.
    Results: Of 193 patients who had optimal response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery, tumour down-staging was the only independent prognostic factor that predicted pathological complete response (P<0.0001). Neoadjuvant rectal score was associated with overall survival (hazard ratio [HR]=1.042, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.021-1.064; P<0.0001), disease-free survival (HR=1.042, 95% CI=1.022-1.062; P<0.0001), locoregional recurrence-free survival (HR=1.070, 95% CI=1.039-1.102; P<0.0001) and distant recurrence-free survival (HR=1.034, 95% CI=1.012-1.056; P=0.002). Patients who had pathological complete response were associated with a lower neoadjuvant rectal score (P<0.0001), but pathological complete response was not associated with survival. For patients with intermediate neoadjuvant rectal scores, late recurrences beyond 72 months from diagnosis were observed.
    Conclusion: Neoadjuvant rectal score is an independent prognostic marker of survival and disease recurrence in a cohort of Hong Kong Chinese patients who received neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer.
