3例腔镜甲状腺术后皮下植入结节的形态学及分子特征

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

目的：探讨腔镜甲状腺术后皮下种植性甲状腺病变的病理及分子特征。方法：回顾性分析本院病理科2017—2024年诊断的3例术后种植病例，通过形态学观察、免疫组织化学染色及二代基因测序(NGS)检测（66个肿瘤基因+177融合位点），对比原发灶与种植灶特征。结果：3例种植灶均与原发灶形态相似，但呈现突变富集：例1女，13岁。原发灶为甲状腺非典型滤泡性腺瘤，后进展为甲状腺滤泡癌，种植灶为甲状腺滤泡癌，原发灶和种植灶均出现MEN1基因突变，另外种植灶出现PTPRT基因突变。例2男，45岁。原发灶为双侧甲状腺结节性肿，种植灶为甲状腺滤泡上皮增生性病变，且于局灶出现直径0.3 cm的甲状腺乳头状癌，原发灶未检测到基因突变，种植灶发现MEN1、GLIS3、EZH1、KMT2C等4种基因突变。例3女，42岁。原发灶为左侧甲状腺腺瘤伴囊性变、右侧甲状腺结节性甲状腺肿，术后5年于右侧乳腺中发现种植灶，形态上表现为结节性甲状腺肿，分子检测出原发灶中存在TERT、GLIS3、SPOP等3种基因突变，种植灶中出现TERT、GLIS3、EIF1AX、KMT2C等4种基因突变。结论：腔镜甲状腺手术应用广泛，但在手术路径上可出现甲状腺病变的种植播散，病变类型包括良性及恶性病变，种植灶病理形态与原发灶相似，但呈现突变富集。

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo investigate the pathological and molecular characteristics of subcutaneous implanted thyroid lesions after endoscopic thyroid surgery.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on three postoperative implantation cases diagnosed in the Department of Pathology of our hospital from 2017 to 2024. Morphological evaluation, immunohistochemical staining, and next generation sequencing (NGS) targeting 66 cancer-related genes and 177 fusion loci were performed to compare features between primary and implanted lesions.ResultsAll three implanted lesions exhibited morphological similarity to their primary counterparts, but displayed enriched mutational profiles. Case 1: a 13-year-old female. The primary lesion was an atypical follicular adenoma progressing to follicular carcinoma, while the implanted lesion was follicular carcinoma. Both lesions harboredMEN1mutations, with an additionalPTPRTmutation detected in the implanted lesion. Case 2: a 45-year-old male. The primary lesion was bilateral nodular goiter, and the implanted lesion showed follicular epithelial hyperplasia with a 0.3 cm papillary carcinoma focus. No mutations were identified in the primary lesion, whereas the implanted lesion exhibitedMEN1,GLIS3,EZH1, andKMT2Cmutations. Case 3: a 42-year-old female. The primary lesion included a left thyroid adenoma with cystic degeneration and right nodular goiter. A nodular goiter-like implanted lesion was detected in the right breast 5 years postoperatively. The primary lesion harboredTERT,GLIS3, andSPOPmutations, while the implanted lesion showedTERT,GLIS3,EIF1AX, andKMT2Cmutations.ConclusionsEndoscopic thyroid surgery is widely applied in clinical practice, however, implantation dissemination of thyroid lesions along surgical pathways may occur, encompassing both benign and malignant entities. Implanted lesions exhibit pathological similarities to their primary counterparts, but demonstrate mutational enrichment.
