Superficial anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)–rearranged myxoid spindle cell neoplasm (SAMS) is a recently described entity which coexpresses ALK, CD34, and commonly S100. These neoplasms are characterized morphologically by concentric spindle cell whorls and cords and are commonly set in an abundant myxoid to myxocollagenous stroma, thus mimicking perineurioma or hybrid nerve sheath tumor. EMA immunostain has been reported to be negative in SAMS which helps in excluding the latter entities. Herein, we report the first EMA-positive SAMS of the right leg in a 37-year-old female patient masquerading as perineurioma/hybrid nerve sheath tumor. The tumor morphologically was comprised of spindle cells arranged in loose whorls and short fascicles set in myxoid to collagenous stroma and coexpressed CD34 and EMA, reminiscent of perineurioma. S100 showed focal staining. ALK immunostain was subsequently performed and was positive. ALK gene rearrangement was identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization break-apart assay and was further confirmed by next-generation sequencing–based RNA sequencing demonstrating FLNA::ALK fusion, thus supporting the diagnosis of SAMS. In conclusion, EMA can be expressed in SAMS, thus posing as a diagnostic pitfall. ALK immunostain and molecular studies are essential for confirming the diagnosis of SAMS and excluding potential mimickers, particularly perineurioma or hybrid nerve sheath tumor.
