Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Rare Cancers

Background:

  • Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) typically originates in deep soft tissues.
  • Primary pulmonary ASPS is exceptionally rare, with few documented cases.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old woman presented with thoracic pain, leading to the discovery of a primary pulmonary tumor.
  • Surgical resection of the left lower lobe was performed.
  • Microscopic examination revealed the characteristic alveolar pattern and PAS-positive crystals of ASPS.

Findings:

  • Immunohistochemistry showed granular cytoplasmic reactivity for vimentin, myoglobin, methionine-enkephalin, S100 protein, and neuron-specific enolase.
  • Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of numerous crystallized structures within tumor cell cytoplasm.

  • This represents the third reported case of pulmonary ASPS, with one originating from the pulmonary vein.

    • Implications:

    • The histogenesis of ASPS remains unclear, with ongoing debate regarding its myogenic or neural origin.
    • This case adds to the limited literature on pulmonary ASPS, providing further data for analysis.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the origins and optimal treatment strategies for this rare sarcoma.
