AI Article Synopsis
- Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is an uncommon type of cancer, as shown in a case study involving a 30-year-old woman.
- She had a noticeable mass in her left thigh for 6 months, which was 8 cm in size along with a smaller nodule nearby, as detected by MRI.
- The MRI results revealed specific signal characteristics of the tumor and surrounding dilated veins, and further examination confirmed the diagnosis of ASPS through histology.
Article Abstract
Alveolar soft-part sarcoma (ASPS) is rare. We present a case of a 30-year-old woman with a 6-month history of a palpable mass in her left thigh. MRI showed an 8-cm mass and a satellite nodule at the left gluteus muscle. The main tumor exhibited an isointense signal on T1-weighted images and high-signal-intensity areas with low-signal-intensity scanty solid components on T2-weighted images. MR angiography showed dilated and tortuous veins around the tumor. Histologic findings were compatible with ASPS.

Response rates of pazopanib therapy in metastatic soft tissue sarcoma using real‑world data.
Oncol Lett
March 2025
Department of Medical Oncology, Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Bornova, Izmir 35100, Turkey.
The present study was a retrospective single-center study. A total of 81 patients diagnosed with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma were included who received pazopanib therapy. Clinical data, including age at diagnosis, histological subtype, treatments received before pazopanib, number of metastatic sites at the time of initiation of treatment, progression-free survival and overall survival time under pazopanib treatment, side effects and response evaluation in follow-up imaging after initiation of pazopanib therapy, were recorded.

Purpose: To characterize factors associated with response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in advanced sarcoma.
Experimental Design: This is a retrospective study with a cohort of 216 patients with advanced sarcoma treated with ICIs between 2016-2023 at Stanford Health Care. Overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), objective response rates per RECIST criteria (ORR), and reason for ICI discontinuation were analyzed across histologic subtypes, ICI regimens, tumor mutational burden (TMB), and PD-L1 expression.
Ultrasound characteristics of alveolar soft part sarcoma in pediatric patients: a retrospective analysis.
BMC Cancer

Department of Ultrasound, Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University, National Center for Children's Health, No.56 Nan Li Shi Road, Xi Cheng District, Beijing, 100045, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study reviewed ultrasound characteristics of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) in 20 pediatric cases diagnosed from January 2014 to January 2024.
- - Tumors were found equally in the trunk/limbs and head/neck, with head and neck tumors being smaller and more symptomatic, yet showing less metastasis.
- - Key ultrasound features included hypoechoic masses with clear borders, varied echogenicity, and pronounced vascularity, highlighting a correlation between tumor size and metastasis risk.
TFE3-rearranged Head and Neck Neoplasms: Twenty-two Cases Spanning the Morphologic Continuum Between Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma and PEComa and Highlighting Genotypic Diversity.

TFE3 rearrangements characterize histogenetically, topographically, and biologically diverse neoplasms. Besides being a universal defining feature in alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) and clear cell stromal tumor of the lung, TFE3 fusions have been reported in subsets of renal cell carcinoma, perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa), epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and ossifying fibromyxoid tumors. TFE3-related neoplasms are rare in the head and neck and may pose diagnostic challenges.
