Abstract
Introduction: Molecular diagnostic tools may help resolve difficult differential diagnoses, and in some cases, they uncover entirely novel findings.
Methods: We performed immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis on a cytologically bland squamous tumor of the sinonasal region.
Results: We found a previously unreported BMPR1B::AFF2 fusion in a difficult-to-characterize nasal and nasopharyngeal tumor exhibiting aggressive local behavior and recurrence.
Conclusion: While the DEK::AFF2 fusion is well-characterized in sinonasal region tumors, alternate fusion partners are becoming increasingly recognized.
