Abstract

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common adult renal malignancy and exhibits heterogeneous clinical behavior that is currently stratified by the WHO/ISUP nuclear grading system. β-catenin, the terminal effector of canonical Wnt signaling and an integral component of the cadherin–catenin adhesion complex, has been implicated in epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and tumor progression, but its quantitative relationship with WHO/ISUP grade in Indonesian ccRCC has not been reported. Methods: This analytic observational cross-sectional study examined 73 archived formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded ccRCC specimens collected at the Anatomical Pathology Installation of Dr. Saiful Anwar Regional General Hospital Malang between January 2019 and May 2025. Immunohistochemistry for β-catenin (Dako Clone 14, dilution 1:200) was scored independently and blindly by two anatomical pathologists using the H-score methodology across ten 400× high-power fields per case. Results: The overall mean H-score was 236.4 ± 50.6 (range 20–295). Spearman rank correlation revealed a strong, statistically significant inverse association between membranous β-catenin H-score and WHO/ISUP grade (ρ = –0.664; 95% CI –0.778 to –0.503; p < 0.001). Mean H-scores declined monotonically from Grade 1 (285 ± 28) through Grade 2 (270 ± 32), Grade 3 (228 ± 30), to Grade 4 (175 ± 32), and Receiver Operating Characteristic analysis distinguished high-grade (G3–G4) from low-grade (G1–G2) tumors with an area under the curve of 0.84. Conclusion: These findings support membranous β-catenin H-score as a biologically grounded, accessible immunohistochemical adjunct to WHO/ISUP grading and motivate further translational evaluation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway as a stratification and therapeutic target in ccRCC.

Abstract

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, primarily affecting adolescents and young adults during periods of rapid skeletal growth. Chondroblastic osteosarcoma (COS) is a histological variant that poses a diagnostic challenge due to its extensive cartilaginous matrix, which can obscure the critical diagnostic feature: malignant osteoid production. This diagnostic complexity is further exacerbated when the tumor exhibits secondary aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) changes, often leading to an initial misdiagnosis as a benign lesion. To analyze a case of chondroblastic osteosarcoma with secondary ABC changes, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing and managing high-grade bone tumors in adolescent patients. A case study of a 17-year-old male presenting with progressive pain and swelling in the right thigh. Diagnosis was confirmed through incisional biopsy, immunohistochemical profiling (positive for SATB2, P53, S100, and Osteocalcin), and MRI findings, which initially suggested an ABC. MRI findings indicated an aggressive bone tumor with fluid-fluid levels characteristic of ABC. However, after biopsy and immunohistochemical analysis, the final diagnosis was confirmed as high-grade chondroblastic osteosarcoma with secondary ABC changes. The patient underwent neoadjuvant MAP chemotherapy and limb-salvage surgery. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for malignancy in adolescent patients presenting with cystic bone lesions. A multidisciplinary approach involving clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation is crucial to prevent diagnostic delays and ensure the initiation of appropriate high-grade sarcoma therapy.
