Adenocarcinoma arising in branchioma with a KRAS and TP53 mutation

Abstract

AbstractBranchioma is a rare benign neoplasm occurring in the lower neck. Occurrence of malignant neoplasms arising in branchioma is extremely rare. Here, we report a case of adenocarcinoma arising in branchioma. A 62‐year‐old man had a right supraclavicular mass measuring 7.5 cm in diameter. The tumor contained an adenocarcinoma component encapsulated in a benign branchioma component. The adenocarcinoma component consisted of high‐ and low‐grade components, with the former accounting for 80% of the adenocarcinoma. The high‐grade component was immunohistochemically characterized by diffuse strong p53 expression, while the low‐grade component and branchioma component were negative for p53. Targeted sequencing analysis for the branchioma and adenocarcinoma components revealed that the adenocarcinoma component harbored pathogenic mutations in KRAS and TP53. No definitive oncogenic drivers were detected in the branchioma component. Based on these immunohistochemical and molecular findings, we suggest that the KRAS mutation contributed to the pathogenesis of the adenocarcinoma, and the TP53 mutation played a key role in the transition from low‐grade to high‐grade adenocarcinoma.
