Аннотация
CONTEXT.—: High-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (HAMN) is a relatively recently introduced term describing a rare epithelial neoplasm of the appendix that demonstrates pushing-type invasion but high-grade cytologic atypia. It remains understudied.
OBJECTIVE.—: To describe clinicopathologic features of HAMNs.
DESIGN.—: We identified 35 HAMNs in a multi-institutional retrospective study. Clinical and histologic features were reviewed in all cases, as well as molecular features in 8 cases.
RESULTS.—: Patients were 57 years of age on average and most commonly presented with abdominal/pelvic pain. Histologically, 57% of the tumors showed widespread high-grade features. Architectural patterns in high-grade areas included flat, undulating, or villous growth, and occasionally micropapillary, cribriform, or multilayered growth. Thirteen cases had intact serosa, and the remaining 22 perforated the serosa, including 7 with peritoneal acellular mucin beyond appendiceal serosa and 10 with grade 2 pseudomyxoma peritonei. Molecular abnormalities included KRAS mutations in 7 cases and TP53 mutations in 4. No tumor confined to the appendix recurred. Two patients without pseudomyxoma peritonei at initial presentation developed pseudomyxoma on follow-up. Among 11 patients who presented with pseudomyxoma peritonei, 5 died of disease and 3 were alive with disease at last follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS.—: HAMNs have a similar presentation to low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, and similar stage-based prognosis. When they spread to the peritoneum, they typically produce grade 2 pseudomyxoma peritonei, which may be associated with a worse prognosis than classical grade 1 pseudomyxoma peritonei.
