52
Q

What is the genetic alteration seen in most mammary analogue secretory carcinoma of salivary glands (MASC)?

A

ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion, t(12;15) (p13;q25) ETV6-NTRK3 translocation. histomorphologic and immunohistochemical features reminiscent of secretory carcinoma of the breast. These tumors had features resembling both salivary acinic cell carcinoma and low-grade cystadenocarcinoma, and displaying strong similarities to breast secretory carcinoma and the authors chose the term mammary analogue secretory carcinoma of salivary glands (MASC). Microscopically, the tumors have a lobulated growth pattern and are composed of microcystic and glandular spaces with abundant eosinophilic homogenous or bubbly secretory material positive for periodic acid-Schiff and mucicarmine.

57
Q

A 34-year-old woman with a history of carotid body paraganglioma resected two years ago developed bone metastases confirmed by biopsy. She has multiple male and female family members with pheochromocytomas and neck paragangliomas. Which gene is most likely mutated?

A

SDHB. At least 10% of paragangliomas of the head and neck are familial. It is currently believed that 1/3 to 1/2 of carotid body paragangliomas are familial. Mutation of the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) genes (SDHD, SDHB and SDHC) accounts for the majority (at least 70%) of the familial paraganglioma cases. Most studies demonstrate that those with SDHB mutations are more likely to have malignant paragangliomas than those with SDHC and SDHD mutations. SDHD mutations demonstrate maternal imprinting.

58
Q

In HPV positive SCCs, what is the most likely explanation for the p16 staining pattern?

A

HPV-related inhibition of RB. p16 tumor suppressor protein is paradoxically overexpressed
in virtually all HPV+ tumors. This results from upregulation, which occurs in response to E7 viral oncoprotein-mediated functional inactivation of RB. Therefore, similar to HPV- related uterine cervix cancers, p16 immunohistochemistry can be used as a surrogate marker for the presence of high-risk HPV in these tumors. In contrast, dysregulation of p53 is mediated by E6 viral oncoprotein-mediated degradation.

59
Q

what is the most common gene altered in the most common salivary gland neoplasm?

A

PLAG1, Pleomorphic adenoma (60% of salivary gland neoplasms). Most commonly PLAG1 gene on 8q12 followed by HMGA2 on 12q14-15.

60
Q

Most common gene mutated in Pilomatrixoma?

A

CTNNB1 (beta catenin). Pilomatricomas consist of anucleate squamous cells (called “ghost cells”), benign viable squamous cells and multi-nucleated giant cells. The presence of calcifications is common.

61
Q

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an uncommon form of squamous cell carcinoma arising in the nasopharynx,The non-keratinizing forms are usually associated with —?

A

EBV. As opposed to SNUC, Patients with NPC frequently develop lymph node metastases which are often bilateral and classically involve the posterior cervical chain more often than other head and neck sites. These tumors are highly responsive to radiation therapy which is the mainstay of therapy with 5-year survival rates around 75-80%.

62
Q

NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) cytogenetics and genetic alteration?

A

t(15;19), BRD4-NUT. Sinonasal mass. NUT midline carcinoma (NMC) is a recently described malignancy that is defined by balanced translocations involving the NUT (nuclear protein in testis) gene on chromosome 15q14. In approximately two thirds of cases, the translocation occurs with the BRD4 (bromodomain-containing protein 4) gene on 19p13.1, leading to a BRD4-NUT fusion oncogene. The remaining cases have a different translocation partner. NMC is an aggressive and almost uniformly lethal tumor with a propensity for early hematogenous spread. The mean patient survival time is only 9 months.
