Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver: a concise review.

肝脏未分化胚胎性肉瘤:简明回顾

Abstract

Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver is an aggressive mesenchymal tumor that occurs predominantly in children. Although this entity has been described for decades, its pathogenesis is still obscure. Its association with mesenchymal hamartoma has been well described on the basis of identical chromosomal abnormalities. The clinical and radiological diagnoses are often difficult, and the diagnosis of undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver is based on its histology and immunophenotype. It is essential to recognize the characteristic histologic findings and the pattern of the immunohistochemistry staining to rule out other hepatic lesions. Multimodal therapy with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy has drastically improved the prognosis of patients with undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver. This successful management requires timely diagnosis for superior outcome.

摘要

肝脏未分化胚胎性肉瘤是一种主要发生在儿童的侵袭性间叶性肿瘤。尽管数十年前对这个肿瘤已有描述,但其发病机制尚不清楚。鉴于它与间叶性错构瘤具有相同的染色体异常,因此认为二者相关。临床及影像学诊断常比较困难,对肝脏未分化胚胎性肉瘤的诊断是基于组织学和免疫表型。因此,认识组织学特点和免疫组织化学染色模式以排除其它肝脏病变很有必要。手术、化疗及放疗多学科治疗显著提高了患者的预后。这些成功的治疗都需及时诊断以争取较好的预后。
