PG - 679-684 LID - 10.1080/15513815.2023.2181626 [doi] AB - Introduction: Cellular neurothekeoma is a benign tumor that mainly occurs in young children and adolescents. The aberrant expression of transcription factor E3 (TFE3) has not been reported in cellular neurothekeoma previously. Case report: We report four cellular neurothekeoma with aberrant immunohistochemical expression of TFE3 protein. The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) showed no TFE3 gene rearrangement or amplification. Discussion/Conclusion: TEF3 protein expression may not be related to TFE3 gene translocation in cellular neurothekeoma. TFE3 may be a potential pitfall in diagnosis, for several malignant tumors in children also express TFE3. The aberrant expression of TFE3 may offer insights into cellular neurothekeoma etiology, and associated molecular mechanisms.
