Abstract

Sclerosing lipogranuloma (SLG) in children is a rare, benign disease of unknown etiology suspected to be due to abnormal fatty tissue reaction. A 13-year-old girl presented with progressively worsening back pain. Cross-sectional imaging identified a retroperitoneal mass compressing the left ureter as well as infrarenal inferior vena cava atresia with extensive venous collaterals and chronic partially occlusive thromboses of the iliac veins. Surgical biopsy was consistent with SLG and it resolved spontaneously. SLG is typically a disease of adulthood but may be seen in children. The association between inferior vena cava atresia with venous thrombosis and development of SLG has not been reported previously.

Abstract

Evaluation of the bone marrow is a critical component of accurate staging and surveillance for recurrent disease in neuroblastoma. The value of routine immunohistochemical analysis of otherwise histologically negative bone marrow biopsy specimens has not been adequately evaluated. By using synaptophysin, chromogranin, and β-catenin, immunohistochemical analysis performed on otherwise histologically negative bone marrow specimens identified isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in 9.1%, 5.0%, and 10.0% of 220 biopsy specimens, respectively. Overall survival, as estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, was not significantly different between patients with and without ITCs (P = .357). Of the immunohistochemical markers evaluated, β-catenin showed the greatest sensitivity for identifying ITCs in the bone marrow and showed reactivity in primary tumor samples. We found that the presence of ITCs identified by immunohistochemical analysis may predict the persistence of disease but does not show significant overall survival differences. We also identified β-catenin as a sensitive immunohistochemical marker of primary and metastatic neuroblastoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
