PHF1::TFE3-positive fibromyxoid sarcoma? Report of 2 cases and review of 13 cases of PHF1::TFE3-positive ossifying fibromyxoid tumor in the literature.

Objectives: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of uncertain histogenesis. Most OFMTs have benign behavior, and many harbor gene fusions involving the PHD finger protein 1 (PHF1), such as EP400::PHF1, MEAF6::PHF1, EPC1::PHF1, and PHF1::TFE3. The PHF1::TFE3 fusion is unique because PHF1 is at 5' instead of residing at 3' in the other fusions.

Novel MIR143HG::PLAG1 gene fusion identified in a rectal myxoid leiomyosarcoma.

Myxoid leiomyosarcoma (MLS) is a rare but well-documented tumor that often portends a poor prognosis compared to the conventional leiomyosarcoma. This rare sarcoma has been reported in the uterus, external female genitalia, soft tissue, and other locations. However, a definite rectal MLS has not been reported.

Cell block-based RNA next generation sequencing for detection of gene fusions in lung adenocarcinoma: An institutional experience.

Objective: Targeted therapy is an important part of the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma. Tests for EGFR mutation, ALK, ROS1, RET and NTRK gene fusions are needed to make a treatment decision. These gene fusions are traditionally detected by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) or immunohistochemistry.

Papillary Renal Neoplasm With Reverse Polarity Is Often Cystic: Report of 7 Cases and Review of 93 Cases in the Literature.

Papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) is a newly proposed entity with distinct histology and frequent KRAS mutations. To date, 93 cases of PRNRPs have been reported. In this study, we present 7 new cases of PRNRP and review the literature.

SMARCA2-NR4A3 is a novel fusion gene of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma identified by RNA next-generation sequencing.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare sarcoma of uncertain differentiation, characterized by recurrent chromosomal translocation involving NR4A3 (9q22.33) in more than 90% of cases. Five fusion partners for NR4A3 have been described including: EWSR1 (22q12.
