One important differential diagnosis for neurofibroma with atypia that I forgot to mention: desmoplastic melanoma. They can have areas that very closely mimic neurofibroma, and they often have scattered pleomorphic cells. The majority of desmoplastic melanomas arise on the head and neck of older patients with a lot of sun damage, so be very careful about apparent neurofibromas in that setting if they have atypia. Mitoses, overlying melanoma in situ component (only present around 50% of the time), and/or lymphocytic aggregates are all clues to the possible diagnosis of desmoplastic melanoma. I'll do an entire video on desmoplastic melanoma at some point in the future.

Thanks a lot Dr. Jerad Gardner Sir. I heartily appreciate all your efforts and valuable time spent to teach us. Very useful tips given in the lecture which can be used while reporting cases of Neurofibroma. The cases selected by you for teaching are awesome.

Please note that there is some debate about the term "low grade MPNST". A 2017 consensus statement suggested use of the term “atypical neurofibromatous neoplasms of uncertain biologic potential (ANNUBP)” for neurofibromas in the setting of NF1 that display at least 2 of these features: Nuclear atypia, loss of neurofibroma architecture, high cellularity, and/or mitotic activity greater than 1/50 HPF but less than 3/10 HPF. Nuclear atypia alone without these other features is thought to be merely a degenerative phenomenon that is not concerning for malignancy in this setting, as discussed in the video. For more info, read this paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28551330

Jerad, thankyou for posting these videos. My 8 year old with NF1 was just diagnosed with a MPNST in his abdomen. This information in increadably helpfull in understanding this.

I am so very sorry to hear about your child's diagnosis. As a father of three young kids, it particularly hurts whenever I have to make a malignant diagnosis in a young child. I am glad that this video gave you some additional information. There are a variety of sarcoma Facebook support groups. I have volunteered in some of these; patients seem to find them very useful. You may wish to join some of these groups for additional support. My best wishes for healing and peace to you, your son, and your entire family during such a difficult time.

Jerad Gardner thank u so much. I have like this. What can I do? I live at Australia. Do u have any recommendation doctor for me?

@JMGardnerMD 6 жыл бұрын

Sorry I didn’t see your post sooner. I think that genetic counselors are good professionals to help coordinate care for NF-1 patients. Many different types of doctors may need to be involved in the care of a patient with NF-1 but it’s important to find someone who has a lot of NF-1 experience (if possible) to be the coordinator and oversee everything in my opinion. I feel like genetic counselors in the USA at least often can fill that role or at least refer the patient to someone who can. There are NF-1 patient groups on Facebook. You may find other Australians who can refer you to good doctors via those groups. Good luck!

Thank you Jerad Gardner and congratulations for this superb work. I think the lesion shown at minute 22:00 is Hybrid Schwannoma/Perineurioma. I hope to hear a feedback after you do EMA immunostain to high light the finger-print pattern that could be appreciated in your S100 stain. You are making a remarkable impact in pathology education. Really fantastic videos.

@JMGardnerMD 6 жыл бұрын

Thank you for the feedback! I believe the lesion at 22:00 is neurofibroma not schwannoma. But I think you are right about a perineurial component being responsible for the whorled pattern. Neurofibromas sometimes have prominent perineurial component like this, but I usually just call them “neurofibroma” rather than invoking the hybrid tumor nomenclature. I prefer hybrid tumor term when there are clearly two different areas of tumor merging into one another. I don’t use that term very often, although some other pathologists do. I think it’s a matter of style and preference mostly.

@MD-yf6vn 6 жыл бұрын

Jerad Gardner Your prompt reply is appreciated. May I take chance to suggest hybrid benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors as a coming video? I believe you are making a difference by doing that. Personally I'll get to learn from it as I did with your previous videos. I agree that the concept with its proposed criteria is relatively recent and might not be agreed upon universally in the word of histopathology. I find it interesting. I am sure you are following that better than me and being part of such debates. For readers interested in the point: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/19623031/

Here are two recent papers regarding neurofibromas with atypical features and transformation to MPNST in the setting of NF-1: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28551330 & www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29409029. This is a very challenging area of soft tissue pathology, and our understanding of these lesions is still evolving. I will discuss MPNST in much more depth in the near future in a full length video. I'll add link here once it is live.

superb video Jerad. I always wondered why plexiform NF has an intact perineurium around the "worms"... now I know! also thanks for including the important clinical aspects of this and the other conditions. pathologists need to be wary of making life changing diagnoses!

@JMGardnerMD 5 жыл бұрын

One of the most important lessons I was ever taught was from my amazing mentor, Dr. Mary Schwartz: “always know what will happen to the patient because of what you write in the pathology report”. That pearl has served me well throughout my career and always made me focus on the patient.

Wow ! Amazingly usefull video ! Subscribed ! I'm a thoracic pathologist currently working on a Neurofibroma case in a NF1 patient that was previously operated for a pheochromocytoma. Mine is a 5 cm mediastinal mass that was discribed by the thoracic surgeon as being centered on the left vagus nerve. I see lots of degenerative atypia, but haven't find any hypercellular fascicles yet nor mitosis or loss of S100 areas, but I will sure look at it very closely and refer it to our BST/Dermpath specialist if I find any worrisome features you discribed. I really enjoyed your video ! Thank you

Nice is so useful, so many practical tips thank you! @2:19 it looks like some of the nuclei here have intranuclear inclusions at approx 1 O'clock and 9 o clock relative to the mast cell in the middle, is it just some kind of artifact of processing? Similar changes can be seen @6:26 as well

@JMGardnerMD 4 жыл бұрын

Not sure what those are. Many cells can have variable numbers of nuclear inclusions. I do not think of that as a diagnostically useful feature in this setting.

Great one. I appreciate how you acknowledge anyone who has taught you something. Gratitude is rare to find these days. I guess universe will give it back to with people saying , Dr Gardner doesn’t like the word WAVY nuclei, somewhere in a reporting session... Have you come across plexiform schwannoma too. Is palisading going to differentiate that?

Dr Gardner, can plexiform neurofibroma be mistaken for a nerve sheath myxoma? Both are multinodular, myxoid and express PS100. Thank you.

@JMGardnerMD 3 жыл бұрын

They look pretty different to me, but I suppose they could occasionally get confused with one another. Here’s my video about nerve sheath myxoma. kikoxp.com/posts/4103

@lililili2116 3 жыл бұрын

@@JMGardnerMD Plexiform neurofibroma often have a collagen background (sometimes shredded carrot collagen), and mast cells, and even if they often have myxoid material, they are not as myxoid as nerve sheath myxoma. Therefore neurofibroma are not true myxoid lesions (is that the reason you did not include them in the myxoid lesions playlist ?). Besides, in nerve sheath myxoma, the cells are more epithelioid and have tendency to form cords. That is what I understood from the two videos. Thank you very much for your time dear Dr.
