Pleomorphic myxoid liposarcoma is an extremely rare, clinically aggressive subtype of liposarcoma that has been primarily reported in young patients. In this article, we report a case of a pleomorphic myxoid liposarcoma that presented as a second primary neoplasm in a 34-year-old man with history of primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma. During the clinical workup, the patient was diagnosed with a germline TP53 gene mutation and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. The tumor, a 2.9 × 2.3 × 2.0 cm well-demarcated and solid mass, was centered in the anterior chest wall soft tissue. Histologically, most of the tumor displayed abundantly myxoid stroma, low cellularity of mostly bland spindle cells, delicate branching capillaries, and lipoblasts; these areas transitioned to small areas whose features were reminiscent of pleomorphic liposarcoma. As assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization, the tumor showed no DDIT3 ( CHOP) (12q13) rearrangements or MDM2 gene amplification. Clinically, the tumor progressed with multiple recurrences and metastasis to the humerus bone. To our knowledge, this is the first case of pleomorphic myxoid liposarcoma diagnosed in an adult with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

In a typical morning in the Cancer Genetics Clinic at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, the following array of patients and families might be seen: a family of three children, all harbouring a mutation of the succinyl dehydrogenase C gene inherited from their father who had had extensive surgery several years ago for a secreting paraganglioma; three families with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, each with at least one child harbouring a TP53 gene mutation conferring a lifetime risk of cancer approaching 100% and currently undergoing surveillance for early tumour detection; two children with Li-Fraumeni syndrome undergoing treatment for cancer – one having had three cancer diagnoses before 19 months of age and the other just completing therapy for metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma at age 3; two children with von Hippel-Lindau disease being monitored for persistent pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and cerebellar hemangioblastomas, respectively; and one child with Beckwith-Wiedeman syndrome and Wilms tumor and another child completing therapy for a pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB).

AbstractLi-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder associated with TP53 germline mutations and an increased lifetime risk of multiple primary cancers (MPC). Penetrance estimation of time to first and second primary cancer within LFS remains challenging due to limited data availability and the difficulty of accounting for the characteristic effects of a primary cancer on the penetrance of a second primary cancer. Using a recurrent events survival modeling approach, we estimated penetrance for both first and second primary cancer diagnosis from a pediatric sarcoma cohort (number families=189; Single primary cancer, or SPC=771; MPC=87). We then validated the risk prediction performance using an independent clinical cohort of TP53 tested individuals from MD Anderson (SPC=102; MPC=58). Our penetrance estimates are dependent on TP53 genotype, sex, and, importantly, age of diagnosis (AoD) for the first PC. We observed the later the AoD is, the shorter the gap time is for this person to be diagnosed with a second PC. We achieved an Area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.77 for predicting individual outcomes of MPC vs. SPC. In summary, we have provided the first set of penetrance estimates for SPC and MPC for TP53 mutation carriers, and demonstrated its accuracy for cancer risk assessment. Our open-source R package, LFSPRO, provides future risk estimates for SPC and MPC among TP53 germline mutation carriers.SignificanceOur tool can be used to support clinical counseling of LFS cancer survivors for better health management.

Although rare, adrenocortical carcinoma is among the most common tumors found in children with Li-Fraumeni syndrome and Li-Fraumeni-like syndrome, associated with germ-line mutations in the TP53 gene. In southern Brazil, one form of Li-Fraumeni syndrome, associated with childhood adrenocortical carcinoma, is caused by a mutation in the R337H TP53 tetramerisation domain and is attributed to a familial founder effect. Adrenocortical carcinoma is considered an aggressive neoplasm, usually of poor prognosis and is generally unresponsive to systemic chemotherapy. Optimal treatment regimens remain to be established. We report the case of a young woman with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma, who achieved stable disease with mitotane, cisplatin, doxorubicin, and etoposide as first-line therapy, but then had an objective response to oral metformin that lasted 9 months. The presence of the R337H TP53 mutation suggests a mechanism for the observed response to metformin.

Summary A common phenomenon in cancer syndromes is for an individual to have multiple primary cancers (MPC) at different sites during his/her lifetime. Patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a rare pediatric cancer syndrome mainly caused by germline TP53 mutations, are known to have a higher probability of developing a second primary cancer than those with other cancer syndromes. In this context, it is desirable to model the development of MPC to enable better clinical management of LFS. Here, we propose a Bayesian recurrent event model based on a non-homogeneous Poisson process in order to obtain penetrance estimates for MPC related to LFS. We employed a familywise likelihood that facilitates using genetic information inherited through the family pedigree and properly adjusted for the ascertainment bias that was inevitable in studies of rare diseases by using an inverse probability weighting scheme. We applied the proposed method to data on LFS, using a family cohort collected through pediatric sarcoma patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 1944 to 1982. Both internal and external validation studies showed that the proposed model provides reliable penetrance estimates for MPC in LFS, which, to the best of our knowledge, have not been reported in the LFS literature.
