Popis: | Objectives SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma(DTS) is a recently identified new entity of thoracic malignancies characterized by inactivation of SMARCA4. Patients with SMARCA4-DTS have a particulary aggresive clinical course and no effective treatments. However, the detailed clinical features of SMARCA4-DTS remain unclear. Here, we report the clinical courses and molecular profiles of two cases of SMARCA4-DTS. Materials and Methods We experienced strikingly similar two patients of SMARCA4-DTS. The clinicopathologic features were reviewed, and detailed immunohistochemical and comprehensive cancer panel analysis with next generation sequencing confirmed the diagnosis. Results Our cases had many clinical and radiological observations characteristic of SMARCA4-DTS in common. Immunohistochemical staing showed complete loss of SMARCA4 in tumor cells. Loss of function mutations were detected in SMARCA4. We found that severe SREs comprise a new significant clinical feature of SMARCA4-DTS. Conclusion Integrated clinico-radiologic–pathologic–genetic diagnosis is essential for SMARCA4-DTS and physicians should pay attention to severe SREs during the clinical course of this disease. |
