Clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue is a rare aggressive soft tissue malignancy primarily affecting the extremities of young adults and is characterised by an EWSR1::ATF1 fusion gene. The tumour has a high rate of local recurrence and metastasis and as such often has a poor prognosis.
期刊介绍:
This monthly review journal aims to provide the practising diagnostic pathologist and trainee pathologist with up-to-date reviews on histopathology and cytology and related technical advances. Each issue contains invited articles on a variety of topics from experts in the field and includes a mini-symposium exploring one subject in greater depth. Articles consist of system-based, disease-based reviews and advances in technology. They update the readers on day-to-day diagnostic work and keep them informed of important new developments. An additional feature is the short section devoted to hypotheses; these have been refereed. There is also a correspondence section.
