Abstract
Uterine dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) with COL1A1::PDGFB fusion is an exceptionally rare sarcoma, and its high-grade variant remains poorly characterized. We reported a 39-year-old Chinese woman with a high-grade uterine sarcoma exhibiting morphological features of fibrosarcomatous DFSP (FS-DFSP), including spindle cells arranged in storiform and herringbone patterns, focal myoid/epithelioid differentiation, and myxoid changes. Immunohistochemistry revealed variable CD34 expression, focal desmin/SMA positivity, and aberrant p53 overexpression. Targeted next-generation sequencing identified a COL1A1-PDGFB (C5:P2) fusion, a pathogenic TP53 (c.832 C>G; p.P278A) and ERBB2 (c.2524 G>A; p.V842I) mutation. Dual-color fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed COL1A1-PDGFB fusion. This represented the first report of high-grade uterine DFSP with concurrent TP53 and ERBB2 mutations, expanding the molecular spectrum of this entity and suggesting potential therapeutic implications for dual PDGFR/HER2 inhibition in aggressive cases.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
