Abstract
Purpose To investigate the expression of TRPS1 in synovial sarcoma(SS)and its significance.Methods Twenty-one cases of synovial sarcoma diagnosed by SS1 8(18q11)(SYT)fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)or SS18-SSX immunohistochemistry were collected.The expression of TRPS1 was detected by immunohistochemistry EnVision two-step staining,and the relevant literature was reviewed.Results There were 21 cases of synovial sarcoma,including 9 females and 12 males,aged 17-79 years,with a median age of 50 years and an average age of 47.1 years.The tumors occurred in the lung(3 cases),legs(3 cases),kidney(3 cases),feet(2 cases),psoas major muscle(2 cases),rectum(1 case),tho-racic cavity(1 case),ankle canal(1 case),inguinal area(1 case),knee(1 case),palm(1 case),nasal cavity(1 case),and forearm(1 case).The maximum diameter of the tumor was 1.2-13 cm.Grossly,the tumor section was grayish-white,grayish-yellowish solid,and the lesion with hemorrhage was dark red.Microscopically,there were monophasic fibrous SS(16/21,76.2％),poorly differential SS(small cell)(3/21,14.3％),and biphasic SS(2/21,9.5％).Immunophenotypi-cally,tumor cells expressed SS18-SSX(18/18,100％),TLE1(12/12,100％),BCL2(18/18,100％),partially expressed EMA(10/16,62.5％),CK(12/18,66.7％),CD99(4/10,40.0％),SMA(3/16,18.6％),S-100(3/19,15.8％),and desmin(0/21).The proliferation index of Ki67 ranged from 3％-80％,with an average of 39.9％.FISH test showed that all 11 cases were positive for SS18(18q11)split-ting.All 21 cases of SS expressed TRPS1 to varying degrees and intensities(21/21,100％),of which 19 cases(19/21,90.5％)had a positive range of＞50％.There were 19 cases(19/21,90.5％)with a positive intensity of 2+or above.All the 21 patients underwent surgical resection of the tumor,and 20 patients received follow-up visits.3 patients treated with postop-erative combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy,18 pa-tients treated with postoperative chemotherapy,and 7 patients showed different degrees of recurrence or metastasis,and 9 pa-tients who received follow-up visits died(45％,9/20).Con-clusion Although TRPS1 is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific marker of breast tumor origin,it is also highly expressed in synovial sarcoma,and it is necessary to be vigilant at its pit-falls in the pathological diagnosis.关键词
