Serine protease with a variety of targets, including extracellular matrix proteins such as fibronectin. HTRA1-generated fibronectin fragments further induce synovial cells to up-regulate MMP1 and MMP3 production. May also degrade proteoglycans, such as aggrecan, decorin and fibromodulin. Through cleavage of proteoglycans, may release soluble FGF-glycosaminoglycan complexes that promote the range and intensity of FGF signals in the extracellular space. Regulates the availability of insulin-like g

Adapter protein involved in invadopodia and podosome formation, extracellular matrix degradation and invasiveness of some cancer cells (PubMed:27789576). Binds matrix metalloproteinases (ADAMs), NADPH oxidases (NOXs) and phosphoinositides. Acts as an organizer protein that allows NOX1- or NOX3-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and ROS localization. In association with ADAM12, mediates the neurotoxic effect of amyloid-beta peptide

Heterologous Rhabdomyoblastic Differentiation in Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma Is Significantly Associated With Loss of H3K27 Trimethylation.
We identified that H3K27me3 loss appears to be a recurrent event underlying tumor dedifferentiation and heterologous rhabdomyoblastic differentiation in dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Therefore, the loss of H3K27me3 by itself does not provide definitive evidence of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor or malignant triton tumor when the morphology and clinical presentation of the tumor align with dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
Malignant triton tumor of the common bile duct.
Malignant triton tumor (MTT) is a rare subset (5%) of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs), classified as soft-tissue sarcomas. MTT is an orphan disease characterized by rhabdomyoblastic differentiation, therapeutic resistance, and a sinister prognosis. The neoplasms classically arise at the trunk, head and neck region, and extremities. In 50% of the cases, MTT is associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), a relatively common autosomal dominant cancer-prone disorder of the central nervous system. Few cases of MTT in the gastrointestinal tract have been published, including esophagus, duodenum, and rectum. In this article, we present what we believe to be the first report of MTT in the common bile duct. A multidisciplinary approach was the key in establishing this particular diagnosis, and workup included endoscopic ultrasound, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, pathological staining, and genetic testing. Literature focusing on MTT remains scarce, and patients with MTT are often included with other subtypes in broader studies of MPNST. Therefore, our literature review covers MPNST and focusses on MTT where appropriate. It provides the current understanding of tumor epidemiology, genetics, and diagnostic workup, and discusses therapeutic challenges and future perspectives. Our case report underlines the value of cholangioscopy-guided biopsies, and honoring patient's autonomy in end-of-life setting.
Pathological and Immunohistochemical Features of Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor With Heterologous Rhabdomy Oblastic Differentiation (Malignant Triton Tumor) in the Context of the Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor Spectrum.
Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) are aggressive sarcomas arising from Schwann cells or neurofibromas, comprising ∼10% of soft tissue sarcomas. Found in 8% to 13% of neurofibromatosis type 1 patients, they typically show spindle cells expressing S100 and SOX10. Some display heterologous differentiation (bone, cartilage, vessels, or glands). When rhabdomyosarcomatous features are present, they are called malignant peripheral nerve heath tumor with heterologous rhabdomyoblastic differentiation (malignant triton tumors), which are more prone to recurrence, metastasis, and worse outcomes. Epithelial differentiation does not affect prognosis. Despite advances in understanding MPNST biology, many pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear. This review highlights their histopathology, focusing on malignant triton tumor.
Imaging Progress and Treatment of Malignant Triton Tumor of the Skull Base.
Reporting the clinical course and management of a skull base malignant triton tumor in a child. An 11-year-old female patient initially presented at the age of 7 with left parotid gland swelling, exhibiting symptoms similar to parotitis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the head performed at an external hospital suggested a neoplastic lesion in the left parotid gland and the left parasellar region. Six months later, a parotid gland biopsy was conducted. Postoperative pathology confirmed the diagnosis of embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. Following the biopsy, the patient underwent one year of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. A follow-up head MRI examination revealed that the lesions in the parotid gland and the left parasellar region had completely resolved. The patient did not adhere to a regular schedule of follow-up examinations. At the age of 10, a follow-up head MRI revealed recurrence of the lesions in the left parotid gland and the left parasellar region. The patient subsequently underwent resection of the left parotid gland lesion at an external hospital. Postoperative pathologic analysis once again indicated embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. The patient underwent genetic testing, which revealed a germline pathogenic mutation: NF1 p.L952Ffs*2, suggesting an inherited form of NF1. Chemotherapy was subsequently continued. A follow-up MRI performed 5 months after the second surgery showed no recurrence of the left parotid gland lesion; however, the left parasellar region lesion remained unchanged in size. A follow-up head MRI at 9 months postsecond surgery indicated an increase in the size of the left parasellar region tumor. By 10 months postsecond surgery, a follow-up head MRI showed a reduction in the left parasellar region lesion, with no recurrence of the left parotid gland lesion, leading to the discontinuation of chemotherapy. At 14 months postsecond surgery, a follow-up MRI revealed an enlargement of the left parasellar region lesion. The patient received 2 courses of chemotherapy, but a subsequent MRI showed continued growth of the left parasellar region lesion, accompanied by abnormal enhancement of the parotid gland lesion. The patient was then transferred to our department, where they underwent a left temporo-occipital craniotomy for tumor resection. Postoperative pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of a malignant triton tumor. Molecular pathologic testing was also performed. The patient recovered well and was discharged successfully. The patient died from cachexia caused by widespread dissemination of the parotid tumor 4 months after discharge. Pediatric skull base malignant triton tumors lack specific imaging manifestations. Radiotherapy and pharmacotherapy are insufficient to control tumor growth. Surgical resection remains the primary treatment method, yet the overall prognosis is poor.
Malignant triton tumor of the bladder with fatal outcome: a rare case report.
Malignant triton tumors (MTTs) are a rare subtype of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors characterized by rhabdomyoblastic differentiation, often associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1). Primary MTTs of the bladder are exceptionally uncommon, with few documented cases. We report a case of a 75-year-old male without neurofibromatosis type 1 history presenting with hematuria and urinary obstruction. Imaging revealed a 6.5 × 4 × 2 cm invasive bladder mass, and histopathology confirmed a high-grade spindle cell neoplasm with biphasic neurogenic (S100-positive) and rhabdomyoblastic (desmin- and myogenin-positive) differentiation, consistent with a diagnosis of MTT. Despite radical cystoprostatectomy, the patient succumbed to postoperative complications. This case highlights the aggressive behavior, diagnostic challenges, and poor prognosis of bladder MTTs, emphasizing the critical role of immunohistochemistry in distinguishing them from other spindle cell neoplasms. The rarity of this presentation underscores the need for further research to elucidate its pathogenesis and optimize therapeutic strategies.
