Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangements drive most examples of epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma (EFH) and have been reported in an emerging family of receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) fusion-positive mesenchymal neoplasms, including superficial ones described under the rubric of "superficial ALK-rearranged myxoid spindle cell neoplasm" (SAMS). Here, we describe 35 superficial tumors with SAMS morphology, which occurred in 18 females (51%) and 17 males at a median age at presentation of 39 years (range: 6 to 82 y). Most tumors occurred on the lower extremity (25 tumors; 71%), followed by upper extremity (5; 14%), trunk (3; 9%), and face (2; 6%).
