Abstract
The two cases, we had presented here, were extremely rare instances of the EWSR1::BEND2 fusion sarcomas in bone. The first case was a 12-year-old female with a 50 × 25-mm lytic tumor in metatarsal bone. Histopathologic examination revealed a widespread cellular, fascicular forming, spindled cell component along with a focal round cell component. CD99 was diffuse membranous positive while cytokeratin and EMA were focal positive. The second case was a 62-year-old female with a pathological fracture in femur. On MRI examination, a heterogeneous tumor measuring 96 × 54 mm was detected in the femur, extending into the soft tissue. Histopathologic examination revealed a high-grade lesion consisting of round cells. CD56, CD99, and cytokeratin were focal positive. EWSR1::BEND2 fusion has previously been reported in a subtype of astroblastoma and other rare entities that we discuss in this work.
期刊介绍:
Manuscripts of original studies reinforcing the evidence base of modern diagnostic pathology, using immunocytochemical, molecular and ultrastructural techniques, will be welcomed. In addition, papers on critical evaluation of diagnostic criteria but also broadsheets and guidelines with a solid evidence base will be considered. Consideration will also be given to reports of work in other fields relevant to the understanding of human pathology as well as manuscripts on the application of new methods and techniques in pathology. Submission of purely experimental articles is discouraged but manuscripts on experimental work applicable to diagnostic pathology are welcomed. Biomarker studies are welcomed but need to abide by strict rules (e.g. REMARK) of adequate sample size and relevant marker choice. Single marker studies on limited patient series without validated application will as a rule not be considered. Case reports will only be considered when they provide substantial new information with an impact on understanding disease or diagnostic practice.
