Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinoma represents a highly aggressive, poorly differentiated carcinoma that is genetically defined by rearrangement of NUT gene. The histomorphological appearance ranges from entirely undifferentiated carcinoma to carcinoma with prominent squamous differentiation. NUT carcinoma can display neuroendocrine features. Although it is typically distributed along the midline axis, it may manifest in nonmidline locations. The majority of patients develop rapidly disseminated disease. We illustrate 2 cases of NUT carcinoma, one located in the lung, which closely resembled a neuroendocrine carcinoma, and the other one with assumed lung origin demonstrating metastatic dissemination with diffuse bone involvement, which was clinically first suspected to be a hematological malignancy. Due to its undifferentiated nature, NUT carcinoma may be confused with many entities. NUT immunohistochemistry is considered to be sufficient for the diagnosis. Fluorescence in-situ hybridization analysis and next-generation sequencing are currently used to confirm the diagnosis.

A cDNA library was constructed from polyadenylated RNA present in squamous differentiated rabbit tracheal epithelial cells. Screening of the cDNA library was aimed at identifying RNAs that were abundant in squamous cells and expressed at low levels in undifferentiated cells. Two different recombinants were obtained containing inserts, 0.86 and 0.77 kilobases (kb) in size, that hybridized to mRNAs 1.0 and 1.25 kb in length. These RNAs were present at approximately 50-fold higher levels in squamous cells than in proliferative or confluent retinoic acid-treated cells. The increase in the levels of the 1.0- and 1.25-kb RNAs correlated closely with the onset of squamous differentiation and was not related to induction of terminal cell division. Treatment of rabbit tracheal epithelial cells with transforming growth factor beta, which induces squamous differentiation in these cells, also resulted in elevated levels of the 1.0- and 1.25-kb RNAs. The increased levels of these RNAs in squamous cells appeared to a large extent to be regulated at a posttranscriptional level. Retinoic acid not only inhibited the increase in the levels of the 1.0- and 1.25-kb RNAs but also reversed the expression of these RNAs in squamous cells. These results suggest that retinoic acid affects, directly or indirectly, molecular events that induce alterations in the posttranscriptional processing of the transcripts corresponding to the 1.0- and 1.25-kb RNAs.

Abstract We describe an extremely rare occurrence of a squamous differentiation in a sarcomatoid chromophobe renal cell carcinoma in a 45-year-old woman with nodal and lung metastasis at presentation. The tumor on histology showed all 3 components intimately admixed with each other, which to the best of our knowledge is the first such case to be reported in the literature. The renal pelvis was smooth walled and uninvolved. Kidney-specific cadherin was positive in the chromophobe renal cell carcinoma areas and negative in the sarcomatoid and squamous areas.
