Abstract

Breast fibromatosis is a benign fibroblastic proliferation accounting for less than 0.2% of breast tumors. It presents sporadically or as a manifestation of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Fibromatosis in FAP may develop in patients with adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene mutations at any location through the gene. Notably, there is an increased risk if mutation is downstream codon 1400. The present case report described a 33‑year‑old woman with recurrent bilateral breast fibromatosis after breast implants in a context of classic FAP. APC mutation (codon‑935) was detected at the age of 16. In the same year, a thyroidectomy for a cribriform-morular papillary thyroid carcinoma (pT1) was performed. Seven years later, a prophylactic total colectomy with >100 adenomas without invasive carcinoma was performed and the patient was kept under surveillance. At the age of 30 years old, she underwent breast silicone implantation for cosmetic reasons. One year later, bilateral breast tumors were diagnosed in core biopsy as fibromatosis (nuclear β‑catenin+, estrogen receptors‑). After no success with medical treatment with tamoxifen, bilateral mastectomy was performed. The patient relapsed one year later and a fibromatosis lesion in the right thoracic wall was excised again. The patient demonstrated no signs of relapse 24 months after the surgery. This rare case illustrates that the increased risk of developing fibromatosis in patients with FAP, even in the classic form, should be considered before deciding to place breast implants.

Introduction

In familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) context, extra-colonic features may include osteomas and dental abnormalities, congenital hypertrophy or hyperplasia of the retinal pigment epithelium, upper gastrointestinal tumors, epidermoid cysts and lipomas, adrenal tumors, hepatoblastoma, brain tumors and pancreatic cancer. Also, papillary thyroid cancer and fibromatosis can occur (1,2).

The cribriform-morular papillary thyroid carcinoma is the most common morphologic variant found in FAP-associated thyroid carcinoma, exhibits nuclear and cytoplasmic accumulation of β-catenin and is associate with germline or somatic mutation of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and 3-catenin (CTNNB1) genes (3).

Fibromatosis is a benign neoplasm with infiltrative growth and consequent high potential to recur after surgical excision (2,4,5). It occurs predominantly in adults, sporadically or in association with FAP syndrome (2). In FAP setting, fibromatosis usually follows a surgical trauma, occurs in 15 to 20% of the patients, is more frequent in women (ratio 1:3) (2,6), and has a significantly increased rate of occurrence. Studies on APC genotype-phenotype correlation identified that mutations in the 3′end and downstream of codon 1400 in the APC have an increased risk of fibromatosis development (1). Although breast fibromatosis is very rare (less than 0.2% of all breast tumors), it occurs mainly as a sporadic form. Trauma and previous surgery are the most important contributing factors (6,7) namely after the placement of breast prosthetics (5,6,8,9). This last type can occur associated with either saline or silicone prosthetics (6).

Pathophysiology of fibromatosis is still not completely understood, but it could result from a disturbance of cell proliferation following a trauma, a dysfunctional hormonal dependence of the local fibroblasts, or a genetic disorder in the regulation of fibroblast growth field (10). Alterations of the APC/β-catenin pathway with resultant nuclear translocation of β-catenin were described in the pathogenesis of both sporadic and FAP-associated breast fibromatosis (11) but mostly resulted from sporadic mutations in the β-catenin subunit (11). An unique case of bilateral fibromatosis in Gardner syndrome was reported in 1970 by Haggitt and Booth (12).

The relevance of illustrating the present case is to alert that, in classic FAP, the possibility of this serious complication must be considered in the decision to place breast implants. We also aim to contribute to the knowledge of the relationship between the APC gene mutation and the consequent phenotype, in order to prevent the development of deleterious conditions in FAP patients.

Case report

Clinical summary

We report a case of a 33-year-old woman with a classic FAP, with a cribriform-morular morphologic variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma (CMV-PTC) and also with bilateral breast fibromatosis in the context of silicone prosthetics. Previous family history was relevant, as her father had a colon cancer diagnosed at the age of 34 that was found to be in the context of FAP and died at the age of 38. At that time, at the age of 16 years old, our patient was referred to our Family Risk Consulting and underwent a flexible sigmoidoscopy that revealed few adenomas. A nonsense mutation (c.935C>A) at codon 935 in exon 15 of APC gene was found and the patient was also diagnosed with FAP.

The search of extra-colonic manifestations of the disease found a papillary thyroid carcinoma cribriform-morular variant treated with total thyroidectomy and with no signs of relapse until now. No other extra-colonic manifestations were found.

She underwent surveillance with annual colonoscopy and the polyps' number and size allowed to postponed prophylactic surgery. At the age of 23, the patient had about 80 colonic polyps and underwent a rectum-sparing total colectomy, with ileorectal anastomosis. Pathologic analysis of the colectomy specimen revealed more than 100 tubular and tubulovillous adenomas with low-grade dysplasia. The patient began to be followed with annual rectoscopy and upper endoscopy according to Spigelman classification for duodenal polyposis.

A breast augmentation surgery with retropectoral silicone prosthetics was performed for cosmetic purposes, at the age of 30 in another institution.

About one year later, she developed complaints of a growing tenderness in the right breast. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 10 cm longitudinal diameter mass in the right breast, limited anteriorly by the pectoralis major muscle and the silicone prosthetics, with invasion of the pectoralis minor muscle and with an intrathoracic component between the 4th and the 5th rib and also, in the left breast, a 4 cm mass was detected, without intrathoracic component. (Fig. 1A). The breast bilateral tumors were diagnosed in core biopsies as fibromatosis. The patient was under levothyroxine and an etonogestrel subdermal implant medication that was removed after the histological diagnosis of fibromatosis.

Treatment with 40 mg per day of tamoxifen was started one month later but no regression of the mammary fibromatosis masses was observed (Fig. 1B). Surgical treatment with bilateral mastectomy and removal of the prosthetics was performed one year after the diagnosis (Fig. 1C). For the right breast, resection of 4th and 5th costal arches and plastic surgical reconstruction of the thoracic wall with a myocutaneous retail from latissimus dorsi muscle was also carried out. Resection was made with negative surgical margins for both breast tumors.

A relapse in the right thoracic wall, confirmed by a core biopsy, occurred one year after and was again surgically removed.

Currently, regarding the colonic tumors, the patient is controlled and well and maintains appropriated surveillance for new relapses of fibromatosis 24 months after second surgery.

APC mutation analysis

Mutation analysis of exons 1–14 of the APC gene was performed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as described previously and by direct sequencing for some exons (13,14). Exon 15 mutations were analyzed using the protein truncation test (PTT), according to a method formerly described (14). All DGGE and PTT fragments showing an aberrant electrophoretic banding pattern were sequenced using the Big Dye terminator cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) on an automatic ABI Prism™ 310 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.), in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Mutation was compared with the description of Genbank M74088 for APC gene.

Immunohistochemical studies

Immunostainings were performed by Ventana Bench Mark ULTRA. The peroxidase-indirect-polymer method Ventana Ultraview DAB, cat. no. 760-500, was used for primary antibodies anti-estrogen receptor (Ventana Rabbit Monoclonal SP1, cat. no. 790-4324; Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA). For anti-β-catenin (Mouse Monoclonal cat. no. 5H10, ref. 80226, 1:1,000; Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and anti-cytokeratin (Dako Mouse Monoclonal AE1/AE3 cat. no. 3515, 1:100; Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) Ventana Optiview DAB cat. no. 760-700 was used. Sections with 3 µm thick were cut, unto Superfrost plus slides from paraffin-embedded routine tissue blocks. The heat mediated antigen retrieval was Ventana CC1 52 min for primary antibodies anti-estrogen receptor; 40 min for anti-β-catenin; and a mixed CC1 16 min and Protease 3, 4 min for anti-AE1/AE3. As positive controls: A composite breast tissue was used for anti-estrogen receptor, a composite colon tissue for anti-β-catenin and a skin tissue for AE1/AE3. For negative controls, primary antibodies were omitted during the staining.

Mutational findings

A nonsense mutation (c.935C>A) at codon 935 in exon 15 of APC gene was found in this patient, resulting in a truncated protein.

Thyroid, total colon and bilateral breast surgical specimens-histopathologic and immunohistochemical findings

The total thyroidectomy showed identical right and left lobes, both with 3×3×2 cm. In the right lobe, a well delimitated intra-glandular, white nodule, with 6 mm was observed. This tumor presented histological features compatible with the CMV-PTC. Tumor cells showed strong cytoplasmic and nuclear expression with β-catenin (Fig. 2). Remaining thyroid parenchyma with no alterations.

The rectum-sparing total colectomy measured 153 cm, had more than 100 tubular and tubulovillous adenomas <5 mm and included appendix with no alterations.

The resected specimen from the right breast mastectomy weighted 2,123 g, measured 24×19×11 cm and included two segments of ribcage, with 9,5 cm. The specimen removed from the left breast weighted 442 g and measured 17×11×6 cm. White, firm, fibrotic lesions with infiltrative margins, were identified. The prosthetics were intact. The excision was considered complete in both breasts.

The histologic evaluation was similar to the previous biopsy (Fig. 3A and B). Immunohistochemistry with β-catenin and estrogen-receptors was reevaluated in the surgical specimen. Nuclear expression of β-catenin was detected (Fig. 3C) and estrogen-receptors immunostaining were negative (Fig. 3D).

Discussion

The relation between the mutation of the APC gene and the consequent phenotype is important to establish an appropriate surveillance in a Family Risk Consulting, with a regular program of colonoscopy and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to attempt evaluation of other FAP related lesions and also to prevent the development of life threatening conditions such as other neoplasms and the development of fibromatosis after surgical procedures.

We describe a peculiar case of bilateral breast fibromatosis after the placement of breast silicone prosthetics in a woman diagnosed with classic FAP (≥100 tubular adenomas in the colorectal specimen) with a nonsense mutation (c.935C>A) at codon 935 in exon 15 of APC gene. She also had antecedents of thyroidectomy for a pT1 cribriform-morular papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Thyroid carcinoma was identified after the diagnosis of germinal mutation, at the age of 16 years old. The search of extra-colonic manifestations allowed the identification of a single and rather small CMV-PTC, at an early age. CMV-PTC is a rare variant of thyroid carcinoma (0.1–0.2% of all papillary carcinomas) almost always associated with FAP (15). It affects female patients at 35 years' age or younger, being exceptional in pediatric patients, and sometimes preceding the colon manifestations (15). Characteristically presents distinctive morphological features with a cribriform and morular architecture, lack of nuclear atypia, mitosis or necrosis, and strong nuclear and cytoplasmic expression for β-catenin, that allows the diagnosis, and harbors germline mutations in the APC gene (exon 15), in more than 85% of patients. The majority of these germline mutations are found before codon 1220 and outside the mutation cluster region (codons 1286 to 1513) (16) and the overall prognosis of this variant is similar to that of classical variant of PTC.

The surge of bilateral breast fibromatosis was not anticipated, as this patient's mutation, located in exon 15 (c.935C>A), is seldom associated to fibromatosis; although recent studies demonstrated that fibromatosis can develop irrespective of the APC gene mutations site (1). In a genetic context of FAP, the surgical trauma of the colocation of breast implants, the continuous trauma of the prosthetics, seems to be concurrent factors for the development of bilateral fibromatosis, with an aggressive course and a rapid relapse.

All fibromatosis tumors, either superficial (fascial) or deep (muscle-aponeurotic), have a morphological similar pattern, corresponding to a proliferation of relatively monomorphic population of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, almost without mitotic figures, arranged in long fascicles with dense collagen, with nuclear expression of β-catenin in about 67–80% of cases (4). Cytokeratin's expression, CD34 and S100 protein are negative (5). Some of the cases are positive for estrogen-receptors and may express smooth muscle actin and calponin (4). As breast fibromatosis is very rare (5,8) the histological differential diagnosis is challenging (7), mainly in core biopsies.

The differential diagnosis includes nodular fasciitis, neurofibroma, fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumor and low-grade fibromatosis-like spindle cell metaplastic carcinoma of breast (5). MRI is particularly important in the evaluation of margins and the eventual chest wall involvement, helping to plan surgery, but it does not assists in the differential diagnosis (5). MRI can also be used for assessing the response to medical treatments (5).

The clinical behavior may be indolent or progressive and there is no histological discriminator to predict the clinical behavior of fibromatosis.

In FAP patients' colon reducing risk surgery is effective being this patient controlled and well at present, but regarding fibromatosis, the best therapeutic approach is controversial in all locations (4,1719).

Surgery, radiotherapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, hormone therapy, doxorubicin (DOX) or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and a wait and watch approach have been used.

Previously, radical surgical resection with negative margins and radiotherapy were the first-line treatments (4,17,19). According to some authors, the clinical indolent or progressive behavior of fibromatosis could require different surgical approaches and different importance on negative margins (4,17). Surgery may be a problematic solution, because the growth factors released could lead to the activation of β-catenin, acting as a tumor enhancer factor for fibromatosis (17).

Radiotherapy has been used in extra-abdominal fibromatosis, as an adjuvant therapy after surgery or as the primary treatment in cases of non-resectable fibromatosis, with controversial results (4,17).

Systemic treatment regimens became more frequent in the last years (4,17). The most commonly used are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like sulindac and indomethacin (4,17). Antiestrogen, most often tamoxifen, and anthracycline-containing regimes appear to be associated with higher response rates than TKI (17,19). Some studies suggest that tamoxifen combination with anti-inflammatory drugs is more effective than tamoxifen alone (17). Regarding TKI, imatinib and sorafenib have been tested, with better responses for sorafenib (4,17). Other drugs, like DOX and vinca alkaloids are reserved for rapidly progressive disease (4,17).

A treatment algorithm has been suggested by Bonvalot et al (17) and by the Consensus on sporadic desmoid-type fibromatosis, according with the indolent or progressive behavior of the fibromatosis (20).

In the present case, a wait and watch approach was initially used and the contraceptive subdermal implant was removed. After 1 month, the tumor continued to grow according to MRI evaluation. The estrogen-receptors immunostaining was negative, but a relative recent review (21) found that approximately half of the patients respond to tamoxifen, irrespective of the estrogen receptor status. Thus, tamoxifen treatment was initiated, after carefully weighing this therapy with the patient.

As the tumor continued to progress (Fig. 1C), one year after the diagnosis, another treatment strategy was advised and surgical excision with a thoracic wall reconstruction was performed. The relapsing tumor on right thoracic wall, one year after, was again approached by surgical excision. Currently the patient remains in surveillance 24 months after this surgery, without evidence of recurrence.

In conclusion, this is the first case reported in the literature of a patient with classic FAP and with antecedents of a cribriform-morular papillary thyroid carcinoma that developed an aggressive breast bilateral fibromatosis after breast silicone prosthetics. The knowledge of the relationship between the mutation of the APC gene and the consequent phenotype is important to establish appropriate surveillance protocols in FAP patients and to prevent the development of life threatening conditions.
