In this study, we present seven nodular fasciitis cases with novel USP6 gene fusion partners, in addition to two cases with rare fusions that displayed aggressive clinical behavior. The cohort comprised five females and four males with a median age of 36 years (range 13-59). Tumors were located in the forearm (n = 3), thigh (n = 2), and shoulder, abdominal wall, chest wall, and oral cavity (one each), ranging from 1.4 to 24.0 cm in size (median, 2.2 cm). Except for the clinically aggressive cases, patients presented with painless masses of varying onset from days to months. Of the clinically aggressive cases, one patient presented with a slowly growing subfascial thigh/hip mass over nine years, leading to erosion of the femur and pelvis; the other presented with a painful subfascial thigh mass of several months' duration. Histologically, all cases, including the clinically aggressive ones, showed conventional nodular fasciitis features without nuclear pleomorphism or atypical mitotic figures; one case with aggressive clinical behavior exhibited focal infarction-type necrosis.

The rearrangement of the RARA gene located on chromosome 17q21 is a molecular pathological feature of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). A series of RARA-involved fusion genes have been identified in variant APL, including one carrying the t(11;17)(q13;q21) translocation, resulting in the NUMA1::RARA fusion gene. Here, we present an interesting case where blasts carry the t(11;17)(q13;q21), but the cell morphology does not exhibit signs of promyelocytic differentiation. Transcriptome sequencing identified a novel fusion gene, RAB6A::TOP2A, with a frameshift mutation in the reading frame.
