Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a mesenchymal tumor thought to originate from perivascular epithelioid cells (PECs). The normal counterpart to PEC, however, has not been identified in any human organ, and the debate as to whether PEComa is related to smooth muscle tumors has persisted for many years. The current series characterizes 4 cases of uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) coexisting with PEComas.

PDGFRB-activating mutations have been reported in pediatric myofibroma and myofibromatosis. However, recurrent gain-of-function PDGFRB mutations have not been documented in sarcomas with myogenic differentiation. Driven by occasional sarcomas harboring PDGFRB mutations, we investigated their prevalence and clinicopathologic and genomic features in a large cohort of sarcomas.

In leiomyosarcoma (LMS), a very aggressive disease, a relatively transcriptionally uniform subgroup of well-differentiated tumors has been described and is associated with poor survival. The question raised how differentiation and tumor progression, two apparently antagonist processes, coexist and allow tumor malignancy. We first identified the most transcriptionally homogeneous LMS subgroup in three independent cohorts, which we named 'hLMS'.
