Mouth metastatic cancers are very rare and they usually represent the evidence of a widespread disease. Common primary tumors are lung carcinoma in men and breast carcinoma in women, followed by kidney cancer. In the oral soft tissues, the gingiva is the most common site, suggesting a possible role of inflammation in the attraction of circulating tumor cells. Oral metastasis has a serious prognosis. In this work, we describe the case of a 58-year-old man affected by renal cancer, who was brought to our attention for the appearance of a gingival swelling. Initially, the lesion was excised through a provisional clinical diagnosis of epulis. Subsequently, anatomopathological analysis showed a metastasis compatible with clear-cell carcinoma and specifically its renal origin was confirmed by immunohistochemical techniques.

Malignant clear cell tumors of the head and neck are uncommon. Primary tumors may arise from the salivary glands, thyroid gland, or parathyroid glands, while metastatic tumors most commonly arise from the lungs, kidneys, and female genital tract. Renal cell carcinoma is the third most common metastatic tumor to the bone and soft tissues of the head and neck. Despite this, there have been few reported cases of renal clear cell carcinoma metastases to the neck. Here we report a unique case of an otherwise asymptomatic young woman with a left neck mass as the first clinical sign of advanced renal clear cell carcinoma.

e23528 Background: Sarcoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors that arise from connective tissue. The most frequent localizations of primary tumors are soft tissues and bones of the extremities, and the lungs is the most common localization of metastases. Pazopanib is an antineoplastic agent, multi-kinase inhibitor that retards angiogenesis in tumor tissues and has been shown to be effective in the treatment of patients with advanced sarcoma. Median progression-free survival was 4,6 months (95% CI 3,7–4,8) for pazopanib compared with 1,6 months (0,9–1,8) for placebo in the PALETTE clinical trial. This study designed to detect epidemiology data as well as the pazopanib efficiency for rare sarcoma subtypes. Methods: We collected data from 109 cases with 20 different sarcoma histotypes and 15 localizations, at N.N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology from 2018 till 2020. Disease was histologically confirmed by a sarcoma pathologist. The average age of patients was 47.8 years and the women and men ratio was about 2:1. Patients received pazopanib 800 mg once daily and passed control examinations every 2 or 3 months (CT/MRI). Treatment response was assessed by RECIST criteria. Results: The most frequent localizations of primary tumors were the soft tissues of the extremities (39.6%), the uterus (16.9%) and the retroperitoneum (13.2%). The main histological subtypes were leiomyosarcoma (33.6%) and synovial sarcoma (14.9%). There were also included such types like a embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing tumors, EHE, alveolar soft part sarcoma, PEComa, clear cell sarcoma, adamantinoma, solitary fibrous tumor, epithelioid sarcoma and myxoid liposarcoma. The majority of patients (61%) received more than 2 of therapy. The average duration of therapy was 7.5 months. Best tumor response by RECIST was as follows: complete response 0 (0%), partial response 2 (2%), stable disease 81 (88,3%), progression disease 25 (27,3%) cases. Median progression-free survival was 8 months (95% CI 6,7-9,2) for pazopanib. Median overall survival was not reached. Overall pazopanib was well tolerated, except one case with SAE. Conclusions: In this study we observed pazopanib efficiency in a rare for pazopanib sarcoma subtypes such as myxoid liposarcoma (1 PR), PEComa, adamantinoma, embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor and Ewing tumors. Also our study confirms pazopanib long-term disease control in alveolar soft part sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, synovial sarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma which explains median PFS 8 months.

Metastasis is an extremely complex process that accounts for most cancer-related deaths. Malignant primary tumors can be removed surgically, but the cells that migrate, invade, and proliferate at distant organs are often the cells that prove most difficult to target therapeutically. There is growing evidence that host factors outside of the primary tumors are of major importance in the development of metastasis. Recently, we have shown that the bromodomain-containing protein 4 or bromodomain 4 (Brd4) functions as an inherited susceptibility gene for breast cancer progression and metastasis. In this paper, we will discuss that host genetic background on which a tumor arises can significantly alter the biology of the subsequent metastatic disease, and we will focus on the role ofBrd4in regulating metastasis susceptibility.

Abstract Background: The relationship between tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) and different stages or subtypes, especially the M-stage in primary tumors, remains unknown in renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between TIICs and distant metastasis and provide new ideas for immunotherapy in KIRC.Methods: Clinical outcomes and transcriptome data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) kidney cohort to characterize the composition of 22 TIICs in KIRC. Propensity score matching (PSM) and CIBERSORT were used to proceed data.Results: A bar plot, heat map, violin plot, bubble plot, box plots, and survival curves were generated. Bar plot and violin plot showed that T cells CD8 (P = 0.032), macrophages M0 (P = 0.033), macrophages M1 (P = 0.035), and mast cells resting (P = 0.001) were correlated to the M-stage. Survival curves showed that only the macrophages M0 group had a P value <0.05 (0.015) that a higher amount of macrophages M0 was associated with a better survival rate, whereas the remaining P values, including those for T cells CD8 (0.915), macrophages M1 (0.88), and mast cells resting (0.347) were >0.05. Conclusions: we got the conclusion that a low level of macrophages M0 in primary tumors was identified as a favorable factor for metastasis in renal clear cell carcinoma, which could provide us new ideas for immunotherapy in KIRC. In order to decrease the distant metastasis, more attention and focus should be paid to increase the level of macrophages M0 in primary tumors.


The case of a 70-year-old man, with no previous pathological history, who consulted for post-traumatic injury to the scalp; it was managed as a benign lesion and it was taken to surgical resection with a histopathology and immunohistochemistry study compatible with clear cell neoplasia of metastatic renal origin. Extension studies were performed with findings of pulmonary nodules that suggested metastatic disease and with a finding of right renal mass. Radical nephrectomy is performed confirming the diagnosis of renal cell carcinoma subtype clear cells. A review of the literature was carried out, which shows that a skin lesion may be the first symptom of an internal neoplasm, with breast cancer being the most frequent one reported in the literature in cutaneous metastases. The finding of a posttraumatic injury to the scalp as the first sign of a clear cell carcinoma of renal origin is very rare. The diagnosis of skin metastases requires a histopathology and immunohistochemistry study, which must be timely because it may be the first link in the research chain to detect an occult neoplasm. In conclusion, the surgeon who faces a soft tissue tumor on the scalp must consider the characteristics of the lesion, the patient’s risk factors in an articulated way that allows him to suspect malignancy in a skin lesion and that allows him diagnose a previously unknown and asymptomatic neoplasm.
