Expanding the Spectrum of NR4A3 Fusion-Positive Gynecologic Leiomyosarcomas.
Modern Pathology 2024 March 19
Recurrent gene fusions have been observed in epithelioid and myxoid variants of uterine leiomyosarcoma. PGR::NR4A3 fusions were recently described in a subset of epithelioid leiomyosarcomas exhibiting rhabdoid morphology. In this study, we sought to expand the clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of gynecologic leiomyosarcomas harboring NR4A3 rearrangements with PGR and novel fusion partners. We identified 9 gynecologic leiomyosarcomas harboring PGR::NR4A3, CARMN::NR4A3, ACTB::NR4A3, and possible SLCO5A1::NR4A3 fusions by targeted RNA sequencing. Tumors frequently affected premenopausal women, involving the uterine corpus, uterine cervix, or pelvis. All were similarly characterized by lobules of monomorphic epithelioid and/or spindled cells arranged in sheets, cords, trabeculae, and micro- and macrocysts associated with abundant myxoid matrix and hemorrhage, creating labyrinth-like or pulmonary edema-like architecture. Myogenic differentiation with frequent estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor staining and no CD10 expression characterized all tumors. All cases showed high NR4A3 RNA expression levels and NOR1 (NR4A3) nuclear staining similar to salivary gland acinic cell carcinomas and a subset of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas harboring NR4A3 rearrangements. NOR1 (NR4A3) immunohistochemistry may serve as a useful diagnostic marker of NR4A3 fusion-positive gynecologic leiomyosarcomas.
