The Cellular and Molecular Landscape of Synchronous Pediatric Sialoblastoma and Hepatoblastoma.

ABSTRACT: Sialoblastoma (SBL) is an infrequent embryonal malignant tumor originating from the salivary gland, resembling primitive salivary gland anlage, whereas hepatoblastoma (HB) is the most common pediatric liver malignancy. The simultaneous occurrence of both tumors is extremely rare. Here we reported a case of a 6-month-old infant diagnosed with synchronous SBL and HB. The patient received neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection. Fresh tissues of both tumors were collected before and after chemotherapy, which were further profiled by whole exome sequencing (WES) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq). WES analysis revealed potential somatic driver mutation PIK3CA p.Glu454Lys for SBL and canonical mutation CTNNB1 p.Ser45Pro for HB. No shared somatic variants or
