Coexistence of Immunochemical Features of Usual
Type and Differentiated Type Vulvar Intraepithelial
Neoplasia—A Rare Case Report

Objectives: Current classifcation of squamous cell car-
cinoma precursors includes two distinct categories:
HPV-dependent low-grade or high-grade squamous
intraepithelial lesions (LGSIL, HGSIL) and HPV-
independent TP53-associated differentiated type VIN
(dVIN). Distinguishing between these two is important
because the risk of progression to invasion can be rapid
in dVIN.
Methods: A 64-year-old woman presented with a right vul-
var lesion for presurgical consultation in our institution.
Her previous biopsy at another hospital was diagnosed
as dVIN based on the morphology, patchy p16 and weak
p53 staining. Right vulvar excision and immunochemical
analyses were performed.
Results: Sections show areas of irregular elongation
and anastomoses of the rete ridges, basal and parabasal
keratinocytic atypia with terminal differentiation but
with areas of abnormal keratinization. The overlying
hyperkeratosis and a background of lichen sclerosus are
present. Immunostains for p53, p16, and Ki67 were per-
formed, which showed an unequivocal evidence of mostly
parabasal nuclear p53 positivity, with elevated Ki67-
labeling index. The fndings are highly suggestive of dVIN.
However, a “block-type,” strong and diffuse nuclear and
cytoplasmic p16 positivity is present on p16 immunostain
in the lesional cells. Molecular tests for high-risk HPV
were performed and showed negative results for a selected
panel. Although the treatment for both entities is wide
local excision, the unique staining results on p53 and p16
in this vulvar lesion posed a challenge in the diagnosis.
Conclusion: This is a rare case showing both typical immu-
nochemical features for two distinct entities in vulvar pre-
cancerous lesions. This suggests (1) diffuse and strong with
a “block-type” positivity of p16 is probably not suf fcient
to rule out dVIN; or (2) there is a possibility of unusual
high-risk HPV infection associated with TP53 mutation in
this patient. These two events might not be mutually exclu-
sive of tumorigenesis of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia.

A Rare Case of Ovarian Serous Borderline Tumor With
Brain Metastasis

Serous borderline tumor (SBT) represents a group of
noninvasive tumor of ovary bridging between benign ade-
noma and invasive carcinoma. They are commonly seen in
younger women and have excellent outcome, except occa-
sional local recurrence. Metastasis to the lymph nodes
has rarely occurred. So far, the only distant metastases
reported were to the supraclavicular and internal mam-
mary lymph node. Here, we present a 33-year-old nullipa-
rous woman diagnosed with Stage IV-B serous borderline
tumor to the brain. Her serous borderline tumor with
1 mm focus of microstromal invasion of left ovary eight
years ago, with a recurrent tumor of the right ovary
occurred 4 years ago, for which she underwent two unilat-
eral salpingo-oophorectomies with omentectomy on sep-
arate occasions with extensive abdominal, peritoneal, and
pelvic lymph node biopsies. No evidence of extraovarian
spread on both times was identifed. However, 4 years
after her last surgery, the patient presented to our insti-
tution with a migraine. MRI revealed four supratentorial
lesions with two dominant proteinaceous mass lesions
(6.0 x 4.5 x 3.5 cm and 4.5 x 3.5 x 2.8 cm) having irregular
lobulations in the bilateral temporal lobes consistent with
metastatic disease. Biopsy of the dominant lesion shows
clusters of broad papillae with hierarchical branching
lined by polygonal to columnar serous epithelium with
mild to moderate atypia. Findings are consistent with
metastatic serous borderline tumor. To our best knowl-
edge, this is the frst case reported of a serous borderline
tumor with metastasis to the brain. No current review or
literature supports this distant metastasis.

Solitary Fibrous Tumor/Hemangiopericytoma: A Case
Report
Christian Salib, MD, Alexandra Budhai, MD,

York Medical College, Valhalla, NY
Solitary fbrous tumor/hemangiopericytoma is an
increasingly recognized, combined term describing a
spectrum of rare mesenchymal tumors. The term was
introduced in the 2016 World Health Organization clas-
sifcation of tumors of the central nervous system follow-
ing the discovery of a shared inversion at 12q13 between
solitary fbrous tumors and hemangiopericytomas. This
genomic alteration results in a NAB2/STAT6 gene fusion
with resultant STAT6 nuclear expression. The resultant
STAT6 immunopositivity is now necessary for diagno-
sis. While most commonly described in the pleura, orbit
continues to be an uncommon extrapleural sites. Here, we
present a case of a previously healthy 50-year-old man
who presented with headache, dizziness, and a right CN
IV palsy. MRI of the orbits demonstrated a large, enhanc-
ing, extra-axial mass within the right middle cranial fossa
