The IHC pattern favors the diagnosis of a high-grade synovial sarcoma with mucinous features. See comment
Clinical Diagnosis :
Left lnguinal lymphadenopathy
Specimen Site :
Swelling from left inguinal region
Gross :
Received single grey brown soft tissue mass (M) 8x5x5cm wt 43gm. External surface - grey brown, lobular. focal grey black
area noted with attached soft tissue. Cut surface -shows a solid lesion (M) 7x5x4cm, grey brown with focal friable and
papillary areas noted, ? vein (M) 5.8x1.8x1.2cm in the superior surface and anterior surface. Lumen - thrombosed. Tumour is
seen abutting the vein.

Previous Impression : Metastatic high grade poorly differentiated malignancy..Advised clinical correlation and
immunohistochemistry (Vimentin,CDX2, NKX3.1, S100, CD45, CK20, HMB45, CK7.
ADDENDUM(3/12/2022-DR.LDJ)
IHC-tumor cells positive for vimentin. Negative for CDX2, NKX3.1, S100, CD45, CK20, HMB45, CK7.
ADDENDUM(21/12/2022): By IHC the tumor cells are negative for synaptophysin, chromogranin, ERG and CD34
Previous Impression : Metastatic deposit with mucinous features .Advised IHC (PanCK,EMA,CK19 &TLE1) for further
categorisation.
ADDENDUM(28/12/2022):
By IHC the tumor cells show :
Immunopositivity for TLE-1, focal and patchy positivity for PanCytokeratin and EMA.
Immunonegativity for CK19
COMMENT: In view of the immunohistochemistry positivity for vimentin and TLE-1, with focal and patchy positivity for
PanCytokeratin and EMA, the possibility of a high grade sarcoma may be considered. However further immunohistochemistry
(Bcl-2, SOX-10 and Ki-67 labelling index) and molecular workup is strongly recommended.
Previous Impression :In view of the IHC the possibility of a high grade sarcoma has to be considered . See comment.
COMMENT: The morphology of the tumor is not typical of a sarcoma due to presence of the mucinous and myxoid features
with unusual morphology, molecular workup is strongly recommended.
