- W2912498836 abstract "Primary malignant melanoma of esophagus is very rare, and its clinicopathologic and genetic features have not been extensively investigated. In this study, 20 tumors from 14 male and 6 female patients (40–79 years old) were evaluated. Dysphagia, chest pain, and weight loss were frequent symptoms. Thirteen melanomas, including two with multiple lesions, involved the distal third of esophagus. The median tumor diameter was 6 cm. Epithelioid morphology, moderate atypia, and pigmentation were typical findings. None of the patients had melanoma elsewhere, and all tumors exhibited a junctional peri-epithelial component consistent with a primary lesion. The median mitotic activity was 11 per 10 high-power fields (range, 0–31). Nine patients died of tumor within 4–22 months, however, two showed long-term (96 and 104 months) survival. In 15 cases, tissue for further immunohistochemical and molecular studies were available. BRAF, KIT, and NRAS mutation status was assessed by Sanger sequencing in all 15 tumors. The next-generation sequencing of 50 or 409 genes was performed in five and three cases, respectively. IGF1R expression indicating activation of the IGF axis was seen in 82% (9/11) of tumors. However, no BRAF mutations were identified. In 33% (5/15) of tumors, NRAS mutations were detected. KIT expression was seen in 50% (7/14) of melanomas including single KIT mutant. Two of three tumors evaluated with 409 genes panel revealed multiple driver mutations indicating sub-clonal expansion, whereas a single mutation (TSC1 p.H371Q) was the sole change in the third case. SF3B1 p.K666T and p.R625C mutations were detected in two cases. However, no co-occurrence of SF3B1 and GNAQ or GNA11 mutations, seen in uveal melanoma, was detected. FBXW7 p.R465C and p.R479G mutations, linked to cancer progression, were found in two of eight tumors. In summary, esophageal melanoma mutation profile indicates complexity of molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis." @default.
