Diagnosis in short

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour, mixed connective tissue type. H&E stain.

LM spindle cells without atypia
LM DDx osteosarcoma, neurofibroma, other soft tissue lesions
IHC vimentin +ve, pankeratin -ve, S-100 -ve
Site soft tissue, bone

Prevalence very rare
Blood work low serum phosphate
Clin. DDx autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets

Phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour, mixed connective tissue type, abbreviated PMTMCT, is a rare tumour.

General

Clinical DDx:

  • Autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets.[3]

Gross

  • Soft tissue or bone.[4]
  • Often small - thus hard to identify.[5]

Microscopic

Features:[2][3]

  • Spindle cells without atypia and moderate lightly eosinophilic cytoplasm without distinctive cell borders.
  • Eosinophilic matrix - described as "gungy" (shabby).[6]
  • HPC-like vessels.
  • Osteoclast-type giant cells.
  • +/-Hemorrhage.
  • +/-Calcifications.

IHC

Features:[3]

  • FGF-23 +ve -- key immunostain (17 +ve/21 cases).[6]
  • Vimentin +ve.
  • Pankeratin -ve.
  • S-100 -ve.
  • CD34 -ve.

Others:[7]

  • CD68 +ve.(???)
  • Desmin -ve.
  • Actin -ve/+ve (3 +ve/21 cases).[6]

LEFT CALF, BIOPSY:
- SPINDLE CELL LESION WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT NUCLEAR ATYPIA AND SHABBY HYALINE
  MATERIAL WITH CALCIFICATIONS, SEE COMMENT.

COMMENT:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: vimentin, CD68 (focal).
NEGATIVE: pankeratin, S-100, CD34.
PROLIFERATION (Ki-67): 3% of lesional cells.

This probably represents a recurrence of the "phosphaturic mesenchymal tumour, mixed
connective tissue type". 

The case was compared to the previous pathology. Clinical correlation is recommended.
