目的：探讨眼部转移性透明细胞肾细胞癌(clear-cell renal cell carcinoma，CC-RCC)的临床病理特点。方法：选取复旦大学附属眼耳鼻喉科医院2010年1月至2020年12月收治的5例并经病理学检查证实的眼部转移性CC-RCC患者的临床病理资料，包括病史、临床表现、影像学检查、病理形态学特点、免疫表型及随访结果等，并进行回顾分析。结果：5例患者中3例为脉络膜转移性CC-RCC，均为男性，年龄51~62岁，均表现为右眼前黑影伴视力下降，病程为1~6个月，术前检查视力均为眼前手动，眼底见视网膜下隆起肿块伴视网膜脱离。B超显示球内隆起肿物，中等回声，考虑脉络膜黑色素瘤。其中例2在2年前有左侧肾CC-RCC切除病史，术后1年转移至肺。3例患者均行眼球摘除加义眼座植入术。病理学形态及免疫组织化学染色结果提示为球内恶性肿瘤，考虑转移性CC-RCC，建议在肾等处寻找原发灶。术后例1腹部CT检查发现左肾占位，考虑肾癌。胸部CT检查示两下肺多个转移瘤。例3术后PET-CT发现左肾占位，手术切除后证实为左肾CC-RCC。2例为眼眶转移性CC-RCC，例4为女性，56岁，右眼红肿伴眼球突出2个月，2个月前行右肾CC-RCC切除术，PEC-CT提示右侧眼眶转移伴骨质破坏。例5为男性，65岁，左眼眉弓处肿物3年，7年前行左肾癌摘除术，后肺部转移。所有5例患者手术切除标本病理学检查均示肿瘤细胞细胞质透明或颗粒状，呈实性片状和腺样分布，间质血管丰富，免疫组织化学表达CK、VIM、CD10和PAX-8等标记提示CC-RCC转移。结论：CC-RCC可以转移至脉络膜或眼眶，病理学上需要和其他眼部具有透明细胞特征的原发和转移性肿瘤相鉴别。
Objective: To evaluate the clinicopathological features of ocular metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.Methods: Data of 5 patients (5 eyes) with ocular metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma treated and diagnosed at Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University from January 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed for medical history, clinical features, imaging examinations, pathomorphological features, immunophenotypes and survival outcomes. Results: There were 3 males of choroidal metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma with age from 51 to 62 years old. They all presented with shadow before the eye and reduced visual acuity of the right eye for 1 to 6 months. On examination the visual acuity was hand movement in front of the affected eye. Fundus examination showed a subretinal elevated mass with retinal detachment. B-scan ultrasound demonstrated an intraocular mass with medium internal reflectivity suspected of choroidal melanoma. Case 2 reported a history of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma treated with a left nephrectomy 2 years ago and developed lung metastasis 1 year ago. Three patients all underwent enucleation and prosthesis implantation. Histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations showed intraocular malignant tumor suggestive of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma which needed further examinations to confirm the primary tumor. Postoperative computed tomography scan of the abdomen for case 1 revealed a mass of the left kidney highly suggestive of a renal cell carcinoma. The computed tomography scan of the chest revealed multiple lesions suggestive of lung metastasis. Postoperative PET-CT scan of case 3 revealed a mass of the left kidney which was confirmed to be clear-cell renal cell carcinoma histopathologically. There were 2 patients of orbital metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. One 56-year-old female patient (Case 4) presented with swelling, redness and proptosis of the right eye for 2 months. Two months ago, her right kidney was resected for the diagnosis of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma. PEC-CT revealed metastasis to the right orbit with bone destruction. Another 65-year-old male patient (Case 5) presented with palpable mass of the left eyebrow for 3 years. He had left nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma 7 years earlier and metastasis to the lung later. Histopathology of all 5 cases demonstrated uniform cells with clear or granular cytoplasm in solid and glandular arrangement surrounded by a rich vascular network. Immunohistochemical positivity for the biomarkers CK, Vimentin, CD10 and PAX-8 confirmed the diagnosis of metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma.Conclusion: Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma can metastasize to the choroid or orbit. It should be differentiated from the other ocular primary and metastatic tumors with clear-cell appearance histopathologically.
目的：探讨眼眶原发性滑膜肉瘤(synovial sarcoma，SS)的临床病理学及分子遗传学特点。方法：收集1例复旦大学附属眼耳鼻喉科医院眼科2020年10月收治并经病理学检查证实为眼眶原发性SS的病例，同时回顾性分析文献中已报道的10例眼眶原发性SS的临床及病理检查资料，包括临床表现、影像学检查、组织学特点、免疫表型及分子病理学检查结果。结果：患者女，53岁，因“复发性右眼眶内肿物13余年”收治入院。SS组织病理学：肿瘤由弥漫分布的单一短梭形细胞组成，肿瘤细胞异型性明显，胞质少，核分裂多见；肿瘤侵犯结膜下、巩膜表面、视神经鞘膜、眶内肌肉及纤维脂肪组织。免疫组织化学检查提示波形蛋白(Vimentin)、Calpolnin、CD99、Bcl-2均阳，SMARCB1(INI-1)部分阳/弱阳。荧光原位杂交(fluorescence in situ hybridization，FISH)法检测到SS18基因易位。回顾性总结文献中已报道的10例和本例(总共11例)眼眶SS患者，其中男性2例，女性9例，左眼6例，右眼5例；患者发病年龄为1~53岁，平均年龄22岁，中位年龄24岁。患者术前病程范围较广，为1周~13年。11例中，5例症状至少出现3年以上，多表现为进行性眼球突出伴眼球移位及运动受限，疼痛及视力下降。CT和MRI上多表现为分叶状或者卵圆形软组织肿块，部分因出血坏死出现囊性外观，增强扫描显示病灶呈不均匀强化。组织学上，本组11例眼眶SS中单相纤维型7例，双相型4例，单相纤维型中有2例存在分化差的成分。免疫组织化学染色显示：上皮样成分表达上皮标记(CKpan、CK7、CK19)和Vimentin；梭形细胞表达Vimentin、CD99、Bcl-2、Calpolnin、TLE1及灶性表达上皮标记。结论：眼眶原发性滑膜肉瘤罕见，形态上需要和眼眶其他软组织来源恶性肿瘤相鉴别，其具有特征性t(x:18)(p11;q11)染色体易位，产生SY T-SSX融合基因，分子病理学的检测有助于最后确诊。
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetics features of synovial sarcoma (SS) of the orbit. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 10 published cases of primary SS of the orbit, along with 1 case of primary SS of the orbit confirmed by pathology who was admitted to the ophthalmology department of Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University in October 2020. The clinical data, radiological findings,morphology, immunophenotype and genetic characteristics of the cases were analyzed. Results: Our case was a 53-year-old woman with an SS in the right orbit, which had recurred multiple times. Histopathologic examination showed a primitive tumor composed of spindled and ovoid cells. Focal infiltration was observed in adjacent structures, such as the sub-conjunctiva, scleral surface, optic nerve sheath, muscle, and fibro-fatty tissue. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for vimentin, calponin, CD99, and Bcl-2 and loss of INI-1expression, which is typical of SS. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed the (X;18)translocation in the tumor cells. The analysis included 2 males and 9 females aged between 1 and 53 years old (mean: 22 years; median: 24 years). Among the SS cases, 6 left eyes and 5 right eyes (all monocular cases)were affected. Symptoms had been present from 1 week to 13 years in the case from our hospital, while in 5 cases, symptoms had been present for at least 3 years. Common clinical features of the patients included proptosis or globe displacement, decreased vision, and pain. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an ovoid mass with heterogenous enhancement and a cystic appearance,which was probably attributable to hemorrhage or necrosis. Of these 11 cases, 7 cases were biphasic SS,4 were monophasic fibrous SS, and 2 were poorly differentiated in monophasic SS. Immunohistochemistry revealed positivity for pan-cytokeratin (CKpan), CK7, CK19, vimentin, cluster of differentiation 99 (CD99),B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), calponin and transducin-like enhancer protein 1 (TLE1). Conclusion: Primary SS of the orbit is extremely rare and needs to be distinguished from other spindle cell tumors of orbital soft tissue. The SS diagnosis is based on the presence of the t(X;18) (p11; q11) translocation, which results in an SYT-SSX fusion gene.
