Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (NTRK)-rearranged uterine sarcoma is a rare type of uterine sarcoma. This paper presents a case of a 49-year-old female who was admitted to the hospital due to lower abdominal pain and subsequently diagnosed with tropomyosin 3 (TPM3)::NTRK1-rearranged uterine sarcoma. To our knowledge, TPM3::NTRK1-rearranged sarcomas almost always occur in the cervix, and this is a novel case of uterine corpus occurrence.

Neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) fusions are infrequent genetic events that can occur in various tumor types. Specifically, NTRK-rearranged sarcoma has been observed in pediatric mesenchymal tumors and, to a lesser extent, in adult mesenchymal tumors like fibrosarcoma. Recently, NTRK-rearranged uterine sarcoma (US) has been identified as a rare entity characterized by constitutive activation or overexpression of the TRK receptor, which plays a role in cell proliferation and differentiation.

NTRK-rearranged spindle cell neoplasm represents an emerging entity included in the latest 5th edition of WHO classification of both soft tissue and female genital tumors. By immunohistochemistry, they are commonly positive for CD34, S100 protein, and CD30 and typically harbor fusions of kinase genes such as NTRK1/2/3, RET, and BRAF. In the gynecological tract, they typically affect the uterine cervix or uterine body.

Uterine mesenchymal neoplasms are a challenging group of tumors that often show overlapping morphologic features and immunohistochemical profiles. The increasing use of molecular testing in these tumors has enabled a better appreciation of their pathobiology, resulting in a wave of emerging neoplasms and improved characterization of ones previously considered exceptionally rare. Identification of specific molecular alterations has permitted targeted therapy options in tumors that were typically unresponsive to conventional therapies, as well as recognition that a subset can have a hereditary basis.
