A 13-year-old Thoroughbred mare had a 2-week history of weight loss and intermittent fever. Examination of abdominal and pleural fluid revealed peritonitis and pleuritis. Ultrasonography of the ventral abdominal midline revealed an intra-abdominal mass. Exploratory celiotomy was performed, but the mass was not surgically excisable. The mare was euthanatized and necropsied. Histologically, the mass was determined to be a fibrosarcoma of omental origin.

An inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a benign, rare chronic inflammatory process that is destructive to normal histology of the involved organs. While IPT most frequently affects the lung and orbits, it can occur in almost any part of the body. Additionally, histopathological examination is often difficult to interpret, typically showing myofibroblasts and mixed inflammatory and spindle-shaped cells.

The anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, and fusions involving this gene have been reported in a variety of mesenchymal neoplasms. ALK-altered tumors with epithelioid morphology have been described in epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma and epithelioid fibrous histiocytoma. Herein, we describe the clinicopathologic features of 7 ALK-rearranged mesenchymal tumors with epithelioid morphology occurring predominately in the pediatric population.

Introduction And Importance: Fibrosarcoma is a rare malignant tumor comprising spindle-shaped fibroblasts exhibiting variable collagen production. Adult-type fibrosarcoma (AFS) mainly occurs in people aged between 30 and 80 years, primarily in the deep soft tissues of the trunk, neck, and extremities, especially in areas surrounding bones. Juvenile fibrosarcoma(JFS) is a type of AFS that occurs in adolescents and rarely develops in the abdominal cavity.
