Abstract
EWSR1::CREM gene fusions are increasingly being recognized in a diverse number of soft tissue tumors, including well-defined entities such as angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma or clear cell sarcoma, and other unclassifiable tumors. As a group, EWSR1::CREM fused tumors often demonstrate primitive spindle or epithelioid cells, myxoid stroma, and a broad immunophenotype. Herein we present an unusual case of a child diagnosed with an intranasal malignant myxoid tumor harboring an EWSR1::CREM gene fusion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of intranasal myxoid tumor with this particular fusion. Diagnosis and management of the case is discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal covers the spectrum of disorders of early development (including embryology, placentology, and teratology), gestational and perinatal diseases, and all diseases of childhood. Studies may be in any field of experimental, anatomic, or clinical pathology, including molecular pathology. Case reports are published only if they provide new insights into disease mechanisms or new information.
