Cancer Category / Type

Mesenchymal tumours of the breast

Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype

Fibroblastic and myofibroblastic tumors

Definition / Description of Disease

Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumor (IMT) of the breast originate from mesenchymal tissue and is composed of both myofibroblastic and fibroblastic spindle cells and is accompanied by an inflammatory infiltrate, which may include plasma cells, lymphocytes, and/or eosinophils. It has intermediate biological potential (low-grade malignant) and rarely metastasizes.  

Essential and desirable diagnostic criteria include loose fascicles of plump spindle cells without substantial atypia or pleomorphism; inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells; consistent SMA expression; frequent ALK expression; ALK or other gene rearrangements in some cases.

Synonyms / Terminology

Related terminology: inflammatory pseudotumour (historical, not recommended), inflammatory fibrosarcoma (historical, not recommended); plasma cell granuloma (historical, not recommended)

Epidemiology / Prevalence

Breast IMTs most often affect young to middle-aged females, although the age range is broad.[1][2]

Clinical Features

Signs and Symptoms Breast IMT usually presents as a painless, circumscribed mass.
Laboratory Findings

Sites of Involvement

Breast IMT is rare and fewer than 25 reported cases.[3][4][5][6] IMT shows a wide anatomical distribution, most frequently arising in the respiratory tract, abdominal cavity, and retroperitoneum, followed by the lung, mediastinum, head and neck, gastrointestinal tract, and genitourinary tract (including the bladder and uterus).[1][7][8][9] Unusual locations include somatic soft tissues, pancreas, liver, and CNS.[1][7][10]

Morphologic Features

Most tumors are < 5 cm in size, with white to grey and sometimes yellow cut surfaces.

Loose fascicles of uniform, plump spindle cells with vesicular chromatin, small nucleoli, and pale eosinophilic to amphophilic cytoplasm are typically observed. [1] The stroma may be myxoid or collagenous, usually containing an inflammatory infiltrate dominated by lymphocytes and plasma cells, with fewer eosinophils and neutrophils. Some tumours exhibit a compact, fascicular architecture with minimal stroma. A subset of tumour cells may resemble ganglion cells. Mitotic activity is low and necrosis is usually absent.

Immunophenotype

Essential and desirable diagnostic criteria include loose fascicles of plump spindle cells without substantial atypia or pleomorphism; inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes and plasma cells; consistent SMA expression; frequent ALK expression.

Finding Marker
Positive (universal) SMA
Positive (subset) desmin, ALK (~60%),[11][12] ROS1 (~5%)[13] [14]
Negative (universal) keratin
Negative (subset) CD34, S100, SOX10, and EMA

Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)

Confirmation of ALK or other gene rearrangements supports the diagnosis. However, molecular confirmation is not required if ALK immunohistochemistry is definitively positive.[15] Of note, exceptional situations such as inversion of ALK on the same chromosome arm may lead to a false-negative FISH result. [16], and other molecular testing such as RNA-Seq can be used to detect ALK fusions efficiently. In ALK-negative cases, immunohistochemistry for ROS1 and/or molecular tests for non-ALK gene fusions (e.g. NTRK3) may be useful.[17][18][19][14]

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

IMTs are genetically heterogeneous. About two thirds of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours harbour receptor tyrosine kinase gene rearrangements, most often involving the ALK locus at 2p23, with diverse fusion partners. [28] Approximately 5% of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours harbour ROS1 gene fusions; other rare gene fusions involve NTRK3, PDGFRB, and RET. [18][14][17][19][12]

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
ALK fusion; activating rearrangement Kinase fusions, receptor tyrosine kinase/growth factor signaling uncontrolled cell proliferation and survival
ROS1 fusion; activating rearrangement Kinase fusions, receptor tyrosine kinase/growth factor signaling cell growth and differentiation
NTRK3 fusion; activating rearrangement Kinase fusions, receptor tyrosine kinase/growth factor signaling cell differentiation
PDGFRB fusion; activating rearrangement Kinase fusions, receptor tyrosine kinase/growth factor signaling cell growth
RET fusion; activating rearrangement Kinase fusions, receptor tyrosine kinase/growth factor signaling cell growth

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

FISH, RT-PCR, RNA-seq
