Abstract
In our routine and consultative pathology practices, we have repeatedly encountered an unusual subcutaneous fatty tumor with notable anisocytosis, single-cell fat necrosis, and patchy, often mild, adipocytic nuclear atypia. Because of the focal atypia, consultative cases have most often been received with concern for a diagnosis of atypical lipomatous tumor. Similar tumors have been described in small series under the designations "subcutaneous minimally atypical lipomatous tumors" and "anisometric cell lipoma." Sixty-six cases of this tumor type were collected and reviewed. Immunohistochemistry for p53, MDM2, CDK4, Retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) protein, CD34, S100, and CD163 was performed. Cases were tested for MDM2 gene amplification and RB1 gene deletion with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and for TP53 mutations by Sanger sequencing. Next-generation sequencing analysis using a panel of 271 cancer-related genes, including TP53, RB1, and MDM2, was also carried out. Our patient cohort included 57 male patients, 8 female patients, and 1 patient of unstated sex, who ranged in age from 22 to 87 years (mean: 51.2 y). All tumors were subcutaneous, with most examples occurring on the upper back, shoulders, or posterior neck (86.4...Continue Reading
