GRAND ROUND Giovedì 13.11.2014 Presentazione caso . Dr.ssa J. TURRA Tutors: Dr. R. MIONI – Prof. R. VETTOR Clinica Medica 3 – DIMED Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica La fibrosi retroperitoneale idiopatica, una malattia rara che colpisce ogni anno circa 1.3 persone ogni milione di abitanti (circa 800 casi al mondo) …E’ caratterizzata dalla presenza di un tessuto fibro-infiammatorio che generalmente circonda l’aorta addominale e può causare compressione degli ureteri con conseguente insufficienza renale. Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Involvement of the following sites, in order of decreasing frequency: ● Long bones (95 %) ● Maxillary sinus, large vessels, and retroperitoneum (59 % each) ● Heart (57 % ) ● Lungs (46 %) ● Central nervous system (41 %) ● Skin (27 %) ● Pituitary gland and orbit (22 % each) Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Empirical therapy includes cor$costeroids, tamoxifen, and azathioprine; experimental therapy includes azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate-‐mofe$l, cyclosporin, medroxyprogesterone acetate, and progesterone. Glucocor6coids and azathioprine are most useful in pa6ents with signs of inflamma6on (eg, raised ESR and WBC count and posi6ve ANA results). Treatment Idiopatica Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Medical: Glucocor6coids and azathioprine. Pts with s/s of inflamma6on (high ESR, white count, (+) ANA) benefit most oOen used in conjunc6on with surgery Mycophenolate mofe6l: case report of MM used in conjuc6on with steroids resulted in cure. Tamoxifen: a propor6on of desmoid tumors (benign fibro6c tumors) respond to tamoxifen. Mechanism unclear. Being used in idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis with promising results. Surgical: Relief of mechanical obstruc6on by lysis and removal of fibrosis. Allows for biopsy and adequate exclusion of malignancy. Usually medical therapy is combined with surgical approaches +/-‐ IR sten6ng of structures being compressed by fibrosis or percutaneous nephrostomy tube placement. Cor6costeroids Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica In 1958, Ross and Tinckler first reported the use of cor6costeroids in the treatment of retroperitoneal fibrosis. The beneficial effect is thought to be due to an6-‐inflammatory ac6on and the ability to inhibit fibro6c 6ssue matura6on. Despite their proven success, using steroids as a first-‐line therapy in retroperitoneal fibrosis remains controversial because many clinicians believe that mul6ple deep biopsies are s6ll essen6al to exclude malignancy. A standard protocol is prednisolone at 40-‐60 mg/d tapered to 10 mg/d within 2-‐3 months and discon6nued aOer 12-‐24 months. Timely dose reduc6ons and cessa6on are important because of the adverse effects associated with long-‐term steroid use. The combina6on of glucocor6coid and azathioprine is most useful in pa6ents with signs of inflamma6on (raised ESR, posi6ve ANA results, posi6ve PET findings). Steroids can be used in combina6on with surgery. Concomitant use of steroids with surgery reduced the rate of ureteric restenosis from 48% to 10%. Complica6ons of cor6costeroid treatment include obesity, Cushingoid features, striae, retarded growth, and an increased suscep6bility to infec6ons, hypertension, osteoporosis, cataracts, pep6c ulcer disease, and diabetes mellitus. Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Mycophenolate mofe$l To block the prolifera$on of T cells and B cells, a combina$on of mycophenolate mofe$l (MMF) and steroid appears to be a promising op$on. Swartz et al (2008) reported their experience with high-‐dose cor$costeroid and MMF in 21 pa$ents. They used prednisone 60 mg or 120 mg qid for 3-‐6 months and tapered the dose upon clinical improvement. In addi$on, steroid-‐sparing therapy with MMF (1000 mg bid) was recommended, with discon$nua$on aNer 6-‐12 months of therapy. Complica$ons of MMF therapy included recurrent urinary infec$ons and upper gastrointes$nal disturbance. Tamoxifen Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica In 1991, Clarke et al were the first to use tamoxifen, a nonsteroidal an$estrogen, in the treatment of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Tamoxifen increases the synthesis and secre$on of transforming growth factor–beta (TGF-‐b), an inhibitory growth factor, by human fetal fibroblast in vitro. In retroperitoneal fibrosis, fibroblast and immune cells in the inflammatory mass may increase their secre$on of TGF-‐b, which may then decrease the size of the fibrous plaque. Other possible mechanisms of ac$on include inhibi$on of protein kinase C, reduc$on of epidermal growth factor produc$on, inhibi$on of calmodulin, and blockage of growth-‐promo$ng histaminelike receptor. Various authors have used tamoxifen with a variable protocol (10-‐40 mg for 6 mo to 3 y). Compared with steroids, the adverse effect profile of tamoxifen is low; thus, clinicians consider tamoxifen a reasonable treatment op$on. However, the adverse effects of tamoxifen, especially an increased risk of thromboembolism and ovarian cancer, should be carefully considered for each pa$ent. Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Azathioprine Azathioprine has been used when steroid therapy has failed and as a steroid-‐sparing drug. Cogan and Fastrez used a 6-‐week course of azathioprine (150 mg/d) in a pa6ent whose condi6on recurred soon aOer prednisone treatment was discon6nued. They observed a significant response with azathioprine. McDougal and MacDonell reported successful outcome in combina6on with prednisolone in a 14-‐year-‐old girl. Fibrosi Retroperitoneale Idiopatica Prednisone + Methotrexate Prednisone given at 0.5–1 mg/kg/day depending on flare severity, tapered to 12.5–10 mg/day by month 3, 7.5–5 mg/day by month 6 and maintained at 5–2.5 mg/day un$l month 12. Methotrexate given at 15–20 mg/week un$l month 12. ANer month 12, free to con$nue or withdraw the treatment.

Ann Rheum Dis 2013;72:1584-1586 Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) EPIDEMIOLOGY • Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocytic disorder and the incidence is unknown. Fewer than 500 cases have been reported in the published literature. • ECD has been diagnosed in all age groups, but is most common in adults. The mean age at diagnosis is 53 years. • There is a slight male predominance. • Although there is speculation that ECD and other histiocyte disorders may represent an aberrant response to infection, no infectious etiology has been identified. • There is no evidence that ECD is an inheritable genetic disorder. (Cavalli G. et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2013; 72:1691.) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Differential Diagnosis ● Langerhans cell histiocytosis ● Paget’s disease and POEMS syndrome – ● Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis ● Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG ● Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD, sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Differential Diagnosis • Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and ECD are both histiocytic diseases that can involve multiple sites, most commonly bones. Skin involvement is more common in LCH. The two entities can usually be distinguished by morphologic and immunohistochemical evaluation. ECD tumor cells lack central nuclear grooves and Birbeck granules typical of LCH cells, and unlike Langerhans cell histiocytosis, they do not express CD1a or S100 (Dagna L, et al. Rheumatology (Oxford) 2010; 49:1203.) • Cases of concomitant LCH and ECD (ie, mixed histiocytosis) have been described (Hervier B. et al. Blood 2014; 124:1119.) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Differential Diagnosis • Paget’s disease and POEMS syndrome (Polyneuropathy, Organomegaly, Endocrinopathy, Monoclonal protein, Skin changes) • the osteosclerotic lesions of bone in ECD can be confused for a variety of metabolic bone disorders, including Paget’s disease and the POEMS syndrome, the latter of which also causes endocrine abnormalities, thus adding to the confusion. While the bone abnormalities of ECD often are confined to bilateral and symmetric osteosclerosis of the diaphysis of the long bones, Paget’s disease and POEMS syndrome generally cause less symmetric bone abnormalities with less specific localization. ECD can readily be distinguished from Paget’s disease and POEMS syndrome by histologic and immunophenotypic findings on biopsy. (Hervier B. et al. Blood 2014; 124:1119.) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Differential Diagnosis • Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis and the related macrophage activation syndrome are systemic disorders that demonstrate tissue infiltration by non-neoplastic histiocytes. Unlike ECD, these disorders demonstrate prominent hemophagocytic activity in the biopsy, and are also characterized by a number of other findings including fever, hypertriglyceridemia, hypofibrinogenemia, hyperferritinemia, and bicytopenia (Hervier B. et al. Blood 2014; 124:1119.) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Differential Diagnosis • Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a benign proliferative disorder of histiocytic cells of the dermal dendrocyte phenotype. • JXG belongs to the broad group of non-Langerhans cell histiocytoses and is typically a disorder of early childhood. • JXG presents in the first two years of life as a solitary reddish or yellowish skin papule or nodule, most often on the head, neck, and upper trunk. Histologically and immunophenotypically, JXG is indistinguishable from ECD. • JXG generally follows a benign course with spontaneous resolution over a period of a few years. Less commonly, skin lesions can be multiple. Extracutaneous or systemic forms (brain, lung, kidney, spleen, liver, bone marrow, and retro-orbital tumors) are exceedingly rare and can be associated with considerable morbidity (Hervier B. et al. Blood 2014; 124:1119.) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Differential Diagnosis • Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD, sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy) - is a macrophage-related disorder that most often presents as a systemic disorder involving lymph nodes and other organs, or rarely can be limited to the skin. Unlike ECD, skin lesions are firm, indurated papules. Although the pathologic cells in RDD are the macrophages (CD14+, CD1a-, S100+/-, CD68+), RDD is histologically distinct from the other histiocytic diseases because the macrophages have normal-appearing lymphocytes residing in the macrophage cytoplasm (emperipolesis). (Hervier B. et al. Blood 2014; 124:1119.) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) MANAGEMENT (I) • Not all patients with Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) require treatment at the time of diagnosis. • Active treatment is typically reserved for patients with symptomatic disease, symptomatic or asymptomatic central nervous system (CNS) involvement, evidence of organ dysfunction, or impending organ dysfunction. • Treatment is suggested for patients with asymptomatic CNS involvement because it is an independent predictor of a worse outcome (Diamond EL, Dagna L et al. Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and clinical management of Erdheim-Chester disease. Blood 2014; 124:483) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) MANAGEMENT (II) • There is no standard treatment regimen for patients with symptomatic ECD. • Patients should be encouraged to enroll in a clinical trial. • Outside of a clinical trial, treatment options include: - Interferon alpha Systemic chemotherapy Corticosteroids Radiation therapy (only in lesion of skin) Surgery has no clear role in the management of ECD except to address mechanical complications, such as ureteral obstruction. (Diamond EL, Dagna L et al. Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and clinical management of Erdheim-Chester disease. Blood 2014; 124:483) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) MANAGEMENT (III) • For most patients with ECD, we recommend the use of conventional or pegylated interferon-alpha rather than systemic chemotherapy or glucocorticoids. • Systemic chemotherapy can be considered for patients who either fail to respond to interferon-alpha or develop intolerable side effects. • Glucocorticoids are generally reserved for patients who cannot tolerate more aggressive systemic therapies or for patients who have very mild symptoms and wish to avoid the potential side effects associated with more aggressive therapies (Diamond EL, Dagna L et al. Consensus guidelines for the diagnosis and clinical management of Erdheim-Chester disease. Blood 2014; 124:483) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Treatment: Interferon alpha: • Conventional or pegylated interferon alpha is our preferred treatment option for patients with newly diagnosed, symptomatic ECD outside of a clinical trial. • The optimal duration of treatment is unclear, but patients are usually treated until disease progression or intolerable side effects occur. • The risk-benefit ratio of interferon should be revisited periodically in patients who are on treatment for more than two years (Dagna L et al. Blood 2014; 124:483) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Treatment: Interferon alpha: • Pegylated interferon alpha is started at 135 ug weekly and the dose is titrated upwards as tolerated if patients are not responding to the initial dose to a maximum dose of 200 ug weekly. • Conventional interferon alpha is started at 3 million international units (MIU) 3/ week and the dose is titrated upwards as tolerated if patients are not responding to the initial dose to a maximum dose of 9 MIU 3/week. • In the largest and most comprehensive series of 53 patients with ECD, 87 % were treated with interferon alpha for a median of 19 months. Doses ranged from 3 MIU to 9 MIU three times weekly with conventional interferon, or 135 to 200 micrograms weekly with pegylated interferon. Fourteen patients (26 %) died after a median follow-up of 56 months (range, 14 to 198 months) from symptom onset, and 27 months (range, 0.7 to 165 months) from diagnosis. The one-year and five-year survival rates were 96 and 68 percent, respectively (Arnaud L et al. Blood 2011; 117:2778; Haroche J, et al. Arthritis Rheum 2006; 54:3330) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Treatment: Systemic Chemotherapy (I): The most commonly used regimen is • vinblastine weekly and etoposide for six weeks followed by • vinblastine and etoposide every three weeks until week 24. • Prednisone is incorporated into this regimen, as is daily 6-mercaptopurine (starting at week nine). This regimen has demonstrated activity in other histiocytic disorders; however, patients with ECD were not included in the published reports. • We consider systemic chemotherapy for patients who fail to respond to interferon alpha or who develop intolerable side effects on interferon alpha. (Arnaud L et al. Blood 2011; 117:2778; Haroche J, et al. Arthritis Rheum 2006; 54:3330) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Treatment: Systemic Chemotherapy (II): • Methotrexate may have activity in ECD and has been used for other histiocyte disorders High dose systemic methotrexate with leucovorin rescue may be useful in ECD with CNS involvement given the ability of methotrexate to cross the blood brain barrier, although this approach has not been studied (Jeon IS Pediatr Blood Cancer 2010; 55:745) • Cyclophosphamide may also be active in these patients with pulmunary infiltrations. More efficacy was observed in association with prednisone (Bourke SC Thorax 2013; 58:1004) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Treatment: Glucocorticoids: • prednisone 60 mg daily for two to four weeks followed by a slow taper over 3-6 months. Patients on long term glucocorticoids should receive prophylaxis for Pneumocystis jiroveci (previously Pneumocystis carinii) infection and may benefit from prophylaxis for gastrointestinal ulcers • Glucocorticoids have demonstrated clinical activity in ECD, but have not demonstrated a survival benefit • Glucocorticoids are generally reserved for patients who cannot tolerate more aggressive systemic therapies or who have very mild symptoms. (Arnaud L et al. Blood 2011; 117:2778) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) Treatment: New Biologics (Drugs): • anakinra is a recombinant IL-1RA. IL-1-Ra production is stimulated by interferon-alpha and there is a case report that showed a significant response in a small group of patients who could not tolerate interferon alpha.(Doses; 100 mg sc/daily) (Aouba A et al. Blood 2010; 116:4070) • Imatinib in the mesylate form is a plateled-derived growth factor receptor Beta (+) that has demonstrated activity of in ECD, though the exact role of imatinib in the treatment paradigm remains undefined. Imatinib is considered a therapy for patients who fail to respond to or are intolerant of interferon-alpha and vinblastine based regimens.(Doses: 400 mg os/daily) (Haroche J et al. Blood 2008; 111:5413) • Infliximab is a TNF-alfa inhibitor and several reports described clinical responses in two cases of ECD with cardiac involvement (Doses: 5-7 mg/kg every two months. (Dagna L et al. J Clin Oncol 2012; 30:e286) • Vemurafenib is a B-Raf enzyme inhibitor, used in melanoma disease, it has been recently reported in three patients with multisystemic and refractory ECD, carrying the BRAF V600E gene mutation, to induce a partial clinical responses (Doses: 1920 mg/d b.i.d. after tapering 960/d b.i.d.)

It has generally used doses appropriate for aggressive lymphomas (40 to 50 Gy) when feasible rather than the much lower doses utilized for LCH. (Haroche J et al. Blood 2013; 121:1495) Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) PROGNOSIS: • There is no known cure for Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD). • Historically the prognosis has been poor. • Case series of patients treated with interferon therapy have reported five-year overall survival rates of approximately 70 -76 percent. • In the future the subsequent discoveries regarding the presence of BRAFV600E mutations, in a significant fraction of patients and the availability of BRAF inhibitors, can induce more promising resultes ( Erdheim Chester Disease (ECD) • • • • • • • • • SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS ●Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare histiocyte disorder most commonly characterized by multifocal osteosclerotic lesions of the long bones demonstrating sheets of foamy histiocytes infiltrates on biopsy with or without histiocytic infiltration of extraskeletal tissues. (See 'Epidemiology' above and 'Pathogenesis' above.) ●The clinical presentation of patients with ECD varies depending upon the sites of involvement. Most patients with ECD will have osseous involvement at the time of diagnosis and the vast majority will also have at least one non-osseous site of involvement with the most common sites being the maxillary sinus, heart and great vessels, retroperitoneum, lungs, and central nervous system (including the pituitary gland and orbit). (See 'Clinical manifestations' above.) ●ECD is diagnosed based upon the pathologic evaluation of involved tissue interpreted within the clinical context. ECD can be difficult to diagnose since it is a very rare disease that can affect many organ systems. A biopsy of an osteosclerotic bone lesion is generally preferred, when possible. (See 'Pathologic features' above and 'Diagnosis and differential diagnosis' above.) ●Not all patients with ECD require treatment at the time of diagnosis. For patients who are asymptomatic without evidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement or organ dysfunction, we suggest a period of observation rather than immediate treatment (Grade 2C). ●There is no standard treatment regimen for patients with symptomatic ECD and patients should be encouraged to enroll in a clinical trial. We use the following approach for the management of patients outside of a clinical trial (see 'Clinical trials' above): •For most patients with ECD, we recommend the use of conventional or pegylated interferon-alpha rather than systemic chemotherapy or glucocorticoids (Grade 1C). •For patients who fail to respond to or cannot tolerate interferon-alpha, we suggest treatment with vinblastine, etoposide, prednisone, and 6-mercaptopurine modeled after protocols used for Langerhans cell histiocytosis (Grade 2C). Glucocorticoids are generally reserved for patients who cannot tolerate more aggressive systemic therapies. Radiotherapy may be used for local palliation. ●Patients with ECD are at risk of developing potentially life-threatening complications due to the compression of normal structures. Mechanical measures such as percutaneous nephrostomy and cardiac valve replacement may also become necessary in select patients. In addition, a high percentage of patients will develop diabetes insipidus and other endocrinopathies due to hypopituitarism. Regardless of systemic therapies, endocrinopathies including diabetes insipidus should be corrected. Pre-existing diabetes insipidus and endocrinopathies typically persist, even with radiographic regression of disease.
