摘要

收集2例伴有假腺样结构的黏液样肾上腺皮质腺瘤(myxoid adrenocortical adenomas,MACA)的病理组织学特征及免疫表型。1例男性,1例女性,年龄分别为53岁和56岁,分别位于左、右侧肾上腺。肿瘤大体表现为实性包块,包膜完整,切面灰白局部半透明,未见明显出血坏死。组织学表现为肿瘤被完整的纤维膜包绕,周围可见残存的萎缩的肾上腺组织,肿瘤细胞排列呈梁状、条索状或形成假腺管样特征,松散的漂浮在丰富的黏液中;中等大小的肿瘤细胞呈多角形,细胞边界清楚,具有丰富的嗜酸性或透明细胞质,核圆形或椭圆形,核仁可见;肿瘤局部可出现一定程度的细胞多形性,但核分裂罕见,且无出血坏死或血管侵犯。免疫组织化学显示2例病例均阳性表达Vimentin,Melan-A,CD56,NSE,其中1例SYN,α-inhibin弱阳性,另1例CK灶状表达,2例均不表达EMA,HMB45,S-100,CgA,P53,EGFR,特殊染色AB-PAS示腺腔及间质内丰富的酸性黏液物质。伴有假腺样结构的MACA是一种非常罕见的肾上腺皮质肿瘤,准确的诊断要综合临床特征,影像学及病理特征,同时要与转移性腺癌及其他腹膜后肿瘤黏液变性相鉴别。

Abstract

The clinical data of 2 cases of myxoid adrenocortical adenoma (MACA) with a pseudoglandular pattern were collected and followed up. One of them is male, the other is female. Aged 53–56 years old. Separated occurred on left and right adrenal. Grossly, the mass was mostly solid, roundish and with clear boundaries, cutting indicates greyish white to local translucence, no obvious hemorrhage and necrosis. At light microscopy, tumor was demarcated by a fibrous capsule, atrophic adrenal gland tissue was found at the periphery of the tumor. Tumor cells arranged in compact cords and tubules, while other cells formed pseudoglandular patterns, floating loosely in the myxoid background. The neoplastic cells were small to medium size, polygonals with well-defined cellular borders, the cytoplasm was abundant eosinophilic or clear, the nuclei was round or oval, nucleoli was clear. The tumor showed limited dysplasia or cell pleomorphism, rare mitoses and no evidence of necrosis or vascular invasion. Immunohistochemistry showed that tumor of 2 cases were positive for Vimentin, Melan-A, CD56, NSE, one of them was positive for synaptophysin and alpha-inhibin; the other one show CK foci positive; While both were negative for EMA, HMB45, S-100, chromogranin-A, P53, EGFR, Ki-67 index were 1%. Special histochemical staining for Alcian-blue PAS highlighted the abundant eosinophilic myxoid material in the glandular cavity and interstitial. MACA with a pseudoglandular pattern was a extremely rare tumor of adrenal neoplasm, accurate diagnosis should combine clinical characteristics, CT, MR imaging with pathological features. Meanwhile, MACA should be distinguished from metastasis adenocarcinoma and other retroperitoneal myxoid degeneration of tumors.
Keywords: myxoid adrenocortical adenoma with a pseudoglandular pattern; pathological features; immunohistochemistry
