Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma harboring ROS1-TFG fusion; a case report
Epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma (EIMS) is a rare and aggressive variant of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT). ALK-RANBP2 fusion is one of the supposed mechanisms for the aggressive biological behavior of this tumor. To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case of EIMS carrying ROS1-TFG fusion which affected a 16 year-old male. The patient presented abdominal pa...

The anatomic location of the tumour, infiltration into vital structures and difficult access provides a surgical challenge for resection of the lesion and reconstruction of the defect. The prognosis of patients with a primary cardiac sarcoma is very poor be...
متن کاملHistochemical and ultrastructural study of an elastofibroma dorsi coexisting with a high grade spindle cell sarcoma.
Elastofibroma dorsi is a pseudotumoral fibroproliferative lesion characterized by polymorphic fiber-like deposits of elastinophilic material. Several theories have been reported explaining the pathogenesis of elastofibroma. Recent cytogenetic studies have demonstrated chromosomal instability in elastofibromas, not normally observed in non-neoplastic tissues. These chromosomal defects are common...
متن کاملFolliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma With Spindle Cell Lipoma-Like Stromal Features
Folliculosebaceous cystic hamartoma is a distinctive cutaneous hamartoma composed of follicular, sebaceous, and mesenchymal components. The lesions are most commonly found on the face and scalp of young adults, with approximately 30% occurring in the nasal or paranasal regions of the face. The clinical differential diagnoses are extensive and include epidermoid cyst, dermal nevus, soft fibroma,...
