你的鉴别诊断是? 还需要那些免疫组化和检查?
这个肿瘤的其他免疫组织化学:
Melan-A" negative
HMB45: negative
tyroinase: negative
MITF-1: negative
chromogranin: negative
CD56: negative
CD99: negative
CD21/CD23/CD35: 未做
desmin: negative
actin: negative
这个肿瘤形态学上不象PNET(不够primitive).
PECOMA是个好的鉴别诊断,但是没有那种常见的血管模式。 指状突树突细胞肉瘤也可以考虑,因为核确实有核沟。
关键在于透明的细胞在这儿。最后我做了个FISH,有EWS的异位,所以结合形态学,免疫组织化学和FISH的结果,最后诊断为:透明细胞肉瘤(clear cell sarcoma).
本例病人没有恶黑的病史。
胃肠道的clear cell sarcoma有很多被误诊为恶黑(本例病例也被外院误诊为恶黑)。见以下的2篇文献。

ABSTRACT: lear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare tumor classically associated with the tendons and aponeuroses of distal extremities of young adults. CCS and malignant melanoma (MM) share immunohistochemical profiles and ultrastructural features, but classic CCS has characteristic morphology with low mitotic activity and minimal pleomorphism. Occasional cases show pleomorphism, high mitotic index, and/or melanin pigmentation, making CCS indistinguishable from MM based on morphology. However, CCS is genetically distinct owing to its consistent association with a t(12;22)(q13;q12) chromosomal translocation, leading to the formation of the EWS/ATF1 fusion transcript. This translocation has never been documented in cutaneous melanoma, and thus is regarded as specific for CCS. Recent evidence suggests that primary "malignant melanomas" in unusual anatomic sites, most notably the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, may be CCS. This is supported by 11 cases of primary GI CCS with the t(12;22) translocation. We used reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization to examine whether a proportion of cases diagnosed as MM of the GI tract in patients without a history of cutaneous MM actually represent primary GI CCS. In total, we examined 7 cases: Four with no prior history of MM, 2 with histories of cutaneous MM, and 1 with an anal MM. All 4 cases for which there was no history of cutaneous/mucosal MM harbored the EWS/ATF1 fusion transcript. We report the largest series of GI CCS and have shown that molecular studies may be warranted in cases that otherwise seem to represent MM of unusual primary locations.

Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is classically a deep soft tissue tumor associated with tendons or aponeuroses, although cases of primary CCS of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract have recently been reported. Because it is difficult to distinguish CCS from metastatic melanoma based on morphology, immunohistochemical profile, and ultrastructural features, it is possible that some GI tumors diagnosed as metastatic melanoma actually represent primary GI CCS. Because the EWS-ATF1 fusion transcript and the associated t(12;22)(q13;q12) translocation occur in CCS but not cutaneous melanoma, we investigated the use of molecular-based testing for discriminating CCS from metastatic melanoma (MM) in GI tumors. METHODS: Patients with GI tumors diagnosed as MM were identified from departmental files. The tumors were tested for the EWS-ATF1 fusion transcript by RT-PCR and for t(12;22)(q13;q12) by fluorescence in situ hybridization. RESULTS: Detailed review of medical records revealed that 16 (80%) of the 20 had a documented history of cutaneous melanoma. Two cases (10%) harbored the EWS-ATF1 fusion transcript, and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed the presence of t(12;22) in both cases. Of the 2 positive tumors, 1 developed in a patient who had no history of cutaneous melanoma, and the other developed in a patient with a remote history of vulvar melanoma. CONCLUSION: Based on molecular genetic findings, a subset of GI tumors diagnosed as MM by routine histopathologic evaluation represents CCS.
