BACKGROUND: Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare translocation-related soft tissue sarcoma, occurring mainly in the limbs and trunk in young adults and adolescents. ASPS is rarely seen in the head and neck and one fourth of those cases described are tongue primary. Given its nonspecific symptoms, clinical findings, and rarity in this location, lingual ASPS (L-ASPS) has been reported to be commonly misdiagnosed as various benign tumors, leading to adverse outcomes.
METHODS: We report a case of L-ASPS occurring in the oldest (78 years) female patient published to date and comprehensively review the literature from 1952 to 2022.
RESULTS: She presented with a slow-growing (2-year duration) tongue mass, measuring 3.5 cm on palpation. Intraoperative frozen section could not render the definitive diagnosis. The pathological findings of the tumor were characteristic of ASPS with eosinophilic polygonal cells in an organoid/nested pattern, rich sinusoidal capillaries, and TFE3 immunoreactivity, except for the strong diffuse aberrant cytoplasmic CD68 immunoexpression and absence of intracytoplasmic crystalline inclusions on PAS with diastase. After TFE3 gene rearrangement had been identified with fluorescent in-situ hybridization, reflex testing confirmed a rearrangement of TFE3 gene with the known fusion partner ASPSCR1.
CONCLUSIONS: ASPS should be included in the differential diagnoses in cases of any slow-growing lingual masses (especially vascular ones) with non-specific clinical pictures, regardless of the patient's age.
