Clear cell sarcoma, abbreviated CCS, is an uncommon malignant soft tissue tumour.
It is also known as soft-tissue melanoma and melanoma of the soft parts, as it has a strong morphological resemblance to malignant melanoma.[1]
It should not to be confused with clear cell sarcoma of the kidney.
General
- Molecular changes and origin distinct from malignant melanoma.
- Rare soft tissue tumour.[2]
- Guarded prognosis: 5 year and 10 year survival ~ 60% and 40% in one series.[2]
- First described in 1965.[3]
Gross
- Usually - deep soft tissue or extremities.
- Classically associated with tendons and aponeuroses.[4]
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Architecture: sheeting or fascicular (bundles) arrangement.
- Fibrous septae - between tumour cells.
- Tumour cells uniform (low pleomorphism) - spindle-shaped or epithelioid:
- Classically have clear cytoplasm.
- Prominent nucleoli - basophilic - key feature.
- +/-Binucleation.
DDx:
- Malignant melanoma.
- PEComa.
- Carcinoma.
Images
Clear cell sarcoma - intermed. mag. (WC)
Clear cell sarcoma - very high mag. (WC)
Clear cell sarcoma (WC/Gardner)
IHC
Features:[1]
- S100 +ve.
- HMB-45 +ve.
- Melan A (MART-1) +ve; sometimes -ve.
- BCL2 +ve.
- CD57 +ve (usually).
Keratins:
- EMA may be +ve.
- CAM5.2 -ve.
- AE1/AE3 -ve.
Molecular studies
- Chromosomal translocation t(12;22)(q13;q12).[1]
- Fusion transcripts:
- EWSR1-ATF1.
- Same translocation in: myxoid liposarcoma,[5] and hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma.
- EWSR1-CREB1 (GI tract associated).
- EWSR1-ATF1.
- Fusion transcripts:
