- Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm of uncertain lineage of differentiation driven by a broad spectrum of gene fusions. It manifests primarily in soft tissues of the extremities. In this study, we performed a comprehensive clinicopathological, molecular-genetic, and epigenetic analysis of 70 cases of OFMT, with a specific focus on rare fusion subtypes, particularly ZC3H7B::BCOR, PHF1::TFE3, and MEAF6::PHF1. In addition, we included 7 tumors with novel fusions, namely, AFF3::PHF1, PHF1::KLF15, PHF1::PRKAG1, CREBBP::PHF1, EPC1::BMI1, MEAF6::BCOR, and EP300::BCORL1. The clinicopathological characteristics revealed a correlation between specific fusions and aggressive clinical behavior; notably, tumors with ZC3H7B::BCOR fusions were always classified as morphologically atypical or malignant and were associated with significantly higher recurrence and metastatic rates compared with other fusion groups, particularly EP400::PHF1. Immunohistochemical analysis further revealed a distinct immunophenotype in the ZC3H7B::BCOR group. Whereas immunopositivity for cytokeratins and myogenic markers was observed in approximately one-quarter and more than one-third of OFMT cases overall, respectively, ZC3H7B::BCOR-rearranged tumors were negative for both. In contrast, the majority showed immunopositivity for pan-Trk. Additionally, DNA methylation profiling distinguished ZC3H7B::BCOR-rearranged cases from other fusion-positive OFMT cases. The former group clustered closely with a subset of high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas. This study supports the recognition of ZC3H7B::BCOR-positive tumors as a distinct clinicopathological entity, contributing to the refined molecular taxonomy of this neoplasm. - Source: PubMed

Lai Jonathan KFadel ElieLacouline-Boulanger RoxanneLaguë NadineNwilati HanadTessier-Cloutier BasileRahimi Kurosh - The histone acetyltransferase complex HBO1 (KAT7) is an oncogenic regulator across multiple cancers, promoting cell proliferation and migration. Though clinically important, no targeted therapies address HBO1 dysregulation. HBO1 forms complexes with MEAF6, JADE(1/2/3), ING(ING4/5), and BRPF1/2/3 to acetylate histones H3 and H4, especially at H3K14, promoting transcriptional activation and genomic stability. It colocalizes with active transcriptional sites and participates in gene regulation, DNA repair and replication. Most HBO1-associated cancer mutations are missense, though their effects remain unclear. Silencing HBO1 restores normal proliferation and gene expression, underscoring its oncogenic role. HBO1 activity supports cancer pathways, including apoptosis resistance, DNA damage response, and cell cycle regulation. The HBO1 inhibitor WM-3835 disrupts H3K14 acetylation, reducing tumor growth in several cancers. This review provides insights into the function of HBO1 in cancer, especially in histone acetylation, ubiquitination, stem cell maintenance, and pro- and anti-oncogenic signaling. Understanding the roles of HBO1 may guide new epigenetic therapies for HBO1-driven malignancies. - Source: PubMed

Marchione Alissa DKathrein Katie L - Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare mesenchymal neoplasm first described in 1989. It typically arises in the superficial soft tissues of the extremities as a slow-growing, painless mass. Histologically, it is commonly characterized by a multilobular architecture composed of uniform epithelioid cells embedded in a fibromyxoid matrix, often surrounded by a rim of metaplastic bone. While classic cases are readily identifiable, the tumor's histopathological heterogeneity can mimic a range of benign and malignant neoplasms, posing significant diagnostic challenges. Molecularly, most OFMTs harbor PHF1 rearrangements, commonly involving fusion partners such as EP400, MEAF6, or TFE3. This review underscores the importance of an integrated diagnostic approach- incorporating histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular data- to accurately classify OFMT and distinguish it from its mimics. Expanding awareness of its morphologic and molecular spectrum is essential for precise diagnosis, optimal patient management, and a deeper understanding of this enigmatic neoplasm. - Source: PubMed

Chatzopoulos KyriakosSyrnioti AntoniaYakoub MohamedLinos Konstantinos - To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) with rare fusion subtypes. Three cases of OFMT with rare fusion subtypes, diagnosed and consulted in the Zhejiang Hospital, Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital, Hangzhou, China and Ningbo Clinical Pathology Diagnosis Center, Ningbo, China from January 2016 to December 2024 were collected. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and targeted RNA sequencing were performed to analyze the immunohistochemical and molecular genetic characteristics of these OFMT. Literature review was also conducted. All three patients were male, with ages of 50, 74, and 58 years, respectively. The tumors were located in the left foot, left thigh, and left lumbar region, respectively, and all presented as slowly growing, painless masses in the skin or subcutaneous tissue. Grossly, the tumors measured 3.5 cm, 6.3 cm, and 5.0 cm in maximum diameter, respectively, with a grayish-white to grayish-yellow, solid, lobulated cut surface. One case exhibited a noticeable myxoid texture. Microscopically, one tumor was located in the superficial dermis, while the other two were in the subcutaneous tissue. The tumors were well-demarcated and showed a lobulated or multinodular growth pattern. None of the cases had a complete surrounding bony shell (only one case had very focal ossification). The tumor cells were monomorphic, short spindle-shaped, oval to epithelioid, and arranged in solid sheets, trabeculae, and small nests within a variably fibromyxoid stroma. Case 1 exhibited abundant pseudorosette-like structures formed by short spindle cells surrounding acellular fibrous stroma. Case 2 showed focal transition of epithelioid tumor cells into fasciculately arranged spindle cells, with extensive stromal hyalinization. Case 3 had a predominantly myxoid stroma with a rich network of thin-walled blood vessels. The tumor cells exhibited mild nuclear atypia with 1-3 mitotic figures per 50 high-power fields. All three cases showed diffuse and strong expression of CD10. Two of the three cases showed nuclear expression of TFE3, while one case showed diffuse and strong expression of desmin and S-100. Targeted RNA sequencing revealed PHF1 (ex12)::TFE3 (ex7) fusion in two cases and MEAF6 (ex5)::PHF1 (5'UTR) fusion in one case, which were further confirmed by FISH study. All three patients underwent tumor resection. Two showed no recurrence during follow-up periods of 98 months and 15 months, respectively, while one experienced local recurrence at 12 months postoperatively. OFMT with rare fusion subtypes often exhibits atypical histological and immunophenotypic features, and lacks a characteristic bony shell. Incorporating TFE3 into the diagnostic IHC panel greatly aids in screening for the cases with rare PHF1::TFE3 fusions. Familiarity with the histological and immunophenotypic characteristics, and differential diagnostic points of these rare OFMT subtypes, is essential for judicious use of molecular genetic tools in achieving a definitive diagnosis. - Source: PubMed
