Are liver nested stromal epithelial tumors always low aggressive?
Nested stromal-epithelial tumor (NSET) is a non-hepatocytic and non-biliary tumor of the liver consisting of nests of epithelial and spindled cells with associated myofibroblastic stroma and variable intra-lesional calcification and ossification, which represents a very rare and challenging disease....

description | Nested stromal-epithelial tumor (NSET) is a non-hepatocytic and non-biliary tumor of the liver consisting of nests of epithelial and spindled cells with associated myofibroblastic stroma and variable intra-lesional calcification and ossification, which represents a very rare and challenging disease. Most of the reported cases have been treated with surgery, obtaining a long survival outcome. Here, we report the case of a 31-year-old Caucasian man who underwent surgery at our institution for a large, lobulated, multinodular mass of the right hemi-liver. The histological exam confirmed the diagnosis of NSET. After 6 mo from surgery, a liver recurrence was described and a chemo-embolization was performed. After a further disease progression, based on the correlation between the histological features of the disease and those of the hepatoblastoma, a similar chemotherapy regimen (with cisplatin and ifosfamide/mesna chemotherapy, omitting doxorubicin due to liver impairment) was administered. However, infection of the biliary catheter required a dose modification of the treatment. No benefit was noted and a progression of disease was radiologically assessed after only four cycles. The worsening of the clinical status prevented further treatments, and the patient died a few months later. This case report documents how the NSET might have an aggressive and non-preventable behavior. No chemotherapy schedules with a proved efficacy are available, and new data are needed to shed light on this rare neoplasm. |
