Primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma with EWSR1::CREB1 fusion: a literature review.
Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology 2024 Februrary 30
PURPOSE: This review primarily aims to review the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, imaging, pathology, immunohistochemistry, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of Primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma (PPMS) with EWS RNA binding protein 1::cAMP response element binding protein 1 (EWSR1::CREB1) fusion. It provides reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
METHODS: Retrospectively collected the literature about PPMS with EWSR1::CREB1 fusion, its clinical, radiology, histology, molecular characteristics and current treatment strategies were collated and analyzed. This review provides a detailed differential diagnosis of the disease.
RESULTS: PPMS is an exceptionally rare, low-grade malignant tumor of the lung. This tumor commonly infiltrates lung tissue and develops within bronchial passages. It is identified by a genetic rearrangement involving the EWSR1 gene and a distinct chromosomal translocation t(2; 22)(q33; q12). Variants include EWSR1::CREB1 fusion and EWS RNA binding protein 1::activating transcription factors (EWSR1::ATF1) fusion. PPMS with EWSR1::CREB1 fusion is more prevalent among middle-aged individuals and affects both sexes almost equally. Clinical symptoms are relatively non-specific, primarily including cough, hemoptysis, and weight loss. Most patients undergo surgery and experience a favorable prognosis. Further research is required to validate the effectiveness of alternative treatments for PPMS with EWSR1::CREB1 fusion.
CONCLUSION: EWSR1 rearrangement and EWSR1::CREB1 fusion are crucial genetic features of PPMS and serve as important diagnostic markers. Immunohistochemically, PPMS tests positive for EMA. In terms of treatment, surgery has been the primary approach in recent years. Therefore, the efficacy of other treatments still requires further investigation.
