摘要
Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare mesenchymal tumors characterized by a fusion of the NGFI-A-binding protein 2 (NAB2) gene and the signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) gene, immunohistochemically resulting in nuclear expression of STAT6 - an immunohistochemical hallmark essential for diagnosis, as outlined in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors. Dedifferentiation, where low-grade tumors transform into high-grade forms, has been observed in SFTs, with documented cases involving sarcomatous or rarely epithelial transformations. We report the first case of a CNS SFT exhibiting "transdedifferentiation" into epithelioid neuroendocrine differentiation. A 36-year-old woman presented with worsening frontal headaches and vision deterioration due to an 8.2-cm frontal tumor with skull erosion. Histologically, the tumor consisted of predominantly high-grade undifferentiated epithelioid round cells that expressed STAT6, along with multifocal synaptophysin and chromogranin A positivity, and occasional cytokeratin and claudin-4 reactivity, resembling large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. A minor bland spindle cell component with STAT 6 immunoreactivity was also noted. This case highlights the rare occurrence of neuroendocrine "transdedifferentiation" in CNS SFTs. This case highlights the importance of recognizing dedifferentiation in CSF SFTs, which often correlates with aggressive tumor behavior and poor prognosis. Given the rarity of neuroendocrine "transdedifferentiation," this case adds valuable insight into the diverse dedifferentiation patterns seen in CNS SFTs, emphasizing the need for accurate diagnosis to guide appropriate treatment strategies.
