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

Superficial Neurocristic FET::ETS Fusion Tumor: Expanding the Clinicopathological and Molecular Genetic Spectrum of a Recently Described Entity

Superficial neurocristic EWSR1::FLI1 fusion tumor is a very recently described, clinically indolent tumor of the skin and superficial soft tissues, which differs in essentially all ways from Ewing sarcoma, despite harboring an identical fusion event. The EWSR1 and FLI1 genes are members of the FET and ETS gene family, respectively, and very rare examples of Ewing sarcoma harbor alternative FET::ETS fusion events, such as EWSR1::ERG, FUS::FLI1, FUS::ERG, EWSR1::ETV4, and others. We report 5 new cases of this very rare entity, harboring in 3 cases alternative FET::ETS fusion events. The tumors occurred in 2 males and 3 females (median age, 14 years, range, 8-69 years) and presented as solitary dermal/subcutaneous masses of the thigh, foot, shoulder, arm, and back (median size, 1.8 cm; range, 1-2 cm). All patients underwent wide excisions; one received adjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical follow-up on 3 patients (median, 24 months; range, 18-31 months) showed all to be without disease. Morphologically, all tumors displayed typical features of this entity as described, with nests of cytologically bland, diffusely S100 protein/SOX10-positive round cells without mitotic activity, surrounded by fibrous bands containing spindled cells with similar nuclear features. The tumors also showed membranous CD99 (4/5) and nuclear NKX2.2 (3/3) expression. RNA sequencing (5 cases) demonstrated FUS::FLI1, FUS::ERG, EWSR1::FLI1, EWSR1::ERG, and a novel FUS::ETV5. Methylation profiling (4 cases) showed all to cluster with previously reported superficial neurocristic EWSR1::FLI1 fusion tumors and apart from conventional and "adamantinoma-like" Ewing sarcoma. Our findings confirm the distinctive clinicopathological features of this very rare, recently described entity and expand its molecular genetic spectrum. Reflecting on these findings, we propose modifying the name of this entity to "superficial neurocristic FET::ETS fusion tumor."

Non-myxoid solid variant of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: An underrecognized subtype

INTRODUCTION

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare sarcoma defined by NR4A3 gene rearrangements, typically featuring uniform cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm and mild atypia, arranged in cords or clusters within a chondromyxoid stroma. A cellular variant, characterized by increased cellular density and a solid growth pattern, has been recognized.

METHODS

We encountered three cases of round cell sarcomas, diagnosed as EMC based on NR4A3 or NR4A2 rearrangements. To identify additional pure solid EMC cases, we performed a retrospective review of our institutional files spanning 22 years, focusing on cases labeled as "myxoid chondrosarcoma" with "cellular" features. Histologic slides and clinical data were reviewed.

RESULTS

In addition to the three study cases, 43 cases of EMC with cellular features were identified, none of which exhibited the exclusive round-to-spindle cell morphology seen in the study cases. The three unique cases involved two females and one male (ages 42-62) with tumors in the proximal extremities and trunk. The tumors (3.5-10 cm) were well-circumscribed and densely cellular. One tumor exhibited a biphasic pattern with distinct round and spindle cell areas, whereas the other two were composed purely of round/epithelioid cells. High-grade nuclear atypia and brisk mitotic activity (9-13 per 10 HPFs) were observed, with necrosis identified in one case. Next-generation sequencing revealed TCF12::NR4A3, EWSR1::NR4A3, and EWSR1::NR4A2 fusions. Two patients developed metastases (lymph nodes and lungs), whereas one remained disease-free at last follow-up.

CONCLUSION

We describe a round cell subtype of EMC, distinct from the traditional cellular variant, characterized by a sheet-like proliferation of large, uniform round-to-epithelioid cells and the absence of chondromyxoid stroma. This potentially underrecognized subtype requires molecular testing for accurate diagnosis. Moreover, the presence of NR4A2 fusions, although rare, suggests that the absence of NR4A3 rearrangements does not entirely exclude EMC.

Expanding the clinicopathologic spectrum and genomic landscape of tumors with SMARCA2/4::CREM fusions

CREB gene family (ATF1, CREB1, CREM) fusions with either EWSR1 or FUS gene partners drive the pathogenesis of a wide range of neoplasms, including various soft tissue tumors, intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumors (IMMTs), hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC), and rare mesotheliomas. Recently, a SMARCA2::CREM fusion was reported in one case each of IMMT and HCCC. In this study, we expand the clinicopathologic and molecular spectrum of these neoplasms by describing three additional cases with SMARCA2::CREM and one with a novel SMARCA4::CREM fusion, highlighting the recurrent potential of additional CREB gene fusion partners beyond FET family members. To evaluate if these fusions define a new pathologic entity, we performed a comprehensive genomic and methylation analysis and compared the results to other related tumors. Tumors occurred in children and young adults (median age 20 years) and spanned a broad anatomic distribution, including soft tissue, intracranial, head and neck, and prostatic urethra. Microscopically, the tumors shared an undifferentiated round to epithelioid cell phenotype and a hyalinized fibrous stroma. Immunohistochemically, a polyphenotypic profile was observed, with variable expression of SOX10, desmin, and/or epithelial markers. No targetable genomic alterations were found using panel-based DNA sequencing. By DNA methylation and transcriptomic analyses, tumors grouped closely to FET::CREB entities, but not with SMARCA4/SMARCB1-deficient tumors. High expression of CREM by immunohistochemistry was also documented in these tumors. Patients experienced local recurrence (n = 2), locoregional lymph node metastases (n = 2), and an isolated visceral metastasis (n = 1). Overall, our study suggests that SMARCA2/4::CREM fusions define a distinct group of neoplasms with round cell to epithelioid histology, a variable immunoprofile, and a definite risk of malignancy. Larger studies are needed to further explore the pathogenetic relationship with the FET::CREB family of tumors. © 2024 The Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

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. Recently five cases of MLS were reported to harbor PLAG1 fusions (TRPS1::PLAG1, RAD51B::PLAG1, and TRIM13::PLAG1). In this report, we present a case of rectal MLS with a novel MIR143HG::PLAG1 fusion detected by RNA next-generation sequencing.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma of the buttock: a case report and literature review

Background

Extraosseous myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is extremely rare, and the case we report is of a particular site with partial bone destruction.

Case presentation

This case report can further strengthen the understanding of EMC and guide clinical treatment. The patient presented with a right buttock mass that was present for 1 year and that had gradually enlarged with tenderness for 6 months. The diagnosis was EMC. The interventions included puncture biopsy, surgical resection, and postoperative chemotherapy. The tumor was resected extensively, and the postoperative recovery was satisfactory. There was no recurrence or metastasis during the follow-up for 18-month.

Case presentation

The case we reported occurred in the pelvic cavity, which has not been previously reported in the literature, and there was partial bone destruction. Complete resection of the tumor was performed, and a satisfactory prognosis was achieved.

TAF15::NR4A3 gene fusion identifies a morphologically distinct subset of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma mimicking myoepithelial tumors

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare sarcoma of uncertain differentiation predominantly arising in deep soft tissue. Its conventional morphologic appearance manifests as a relatively well-circumscribed, multilobular tumor composed of uniform short spindle-to-ovoid primitive mesenchymal cells with deeply eosinophilic cytoplasm arranged in anastomosing cords within abundant myxoid matrix. The genetic hallmark of EMC has long been considered to be pathognomonic gene rearrangements involving NR4A3, which when fused to TAF15, often have high-grade morphology with increased cellularity, moderate to severe cytologic atypia, and rhabdoid cytomorphology. Herein, we describe two cases of EMC with TAF15::NR4A3 fusion that appear morphologically distinct from both conventional and high-grade EMC. Both cases had an unusual biphasic appearance and showed diffuse positivity for p63, mimicking myoepithelial tumors. DNA methylation profiling demonstrated that both cases clearly cluster with EMC, indicating that they most likely represent morphologically distinct variants of EMC. The clinical significance and prognostic impact of this morphologic variance remains to be determined. Molecular testing, including DNA methylation profiling, can help to confirm the diagnosis and avoid confusion with mimics; it adds another layer of data to support expanding the morphologic spectrum of EMC.

Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcomas: The Uncommon Clinicopathologic Manifestations and Significance of TAF15::NR4A3 Fusion

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is an ultrarare sarcoma typically exhibiting myxoid/reticular histology and NR4A3 translocation. However, morphologic variants and the relevance of non-EWSR1::NR4A3 fusions remain underexplored. Three challenging pan-Trk-expressing cases, featuring cellular to solid histology, were subjected to RNA exome sequencing (RES), unveiling different NR4A3-associated fusions. Alongside RES-analyzed cases, fluorescence in situ hybridization was performed to confirm 58 EMCs, with 48 available for pan-Trk immunostaining and KIT sequencing. Except for 1 (2%) NR4A3-rearranged EMC without identifiable partners, 46 (79%), 9 (16%), and 2 (3%) cases harbored EWSR1::NR4A3, TAF15::NR4A3, and TCF12::NR4A3 fusions, respectively. Five EWSR1::NR4A3-positive EMCs occurred in the subcutis (3) and bone (2). Besides 43 classical cases, there were 8 cellular, 4 rhabdoid/anaplastic, 2 solid, and 1 mixed tumor-like variants. Tumor cells were oval/spindle to pleomorphic and formed loose myxoid/reticular to compact sheet-like or fascicular patterns, imparting broad diagnostic considerations. RES showed upregulation of NTRK2/3, KIT, and INSM1. Moderate-to-strong immunoreactivities of pan-Trk, CD117, and INSM1 were present in 35.4%, 52.6%, and 54.6% of EMCs, respectively. KIT p. E554K mutation was detected in 2/48 cases. TAF15::NR4A3 was significantly associated with size >10 cm (78%, P = .025). Size >10 cm, moderate-to-severe nuclear pleomorphism, metastasis at presentation, TAF15::NR4A3 fusion, and the administration of chemotherapy portended shorter univariate disease-specific survival, whereas only size >10 cm (P = .004) and metastasis at presentation (P = .032) remained prognostically independent. Conclusively, EMC may manifest superficial or osseous lesions harboring EWSR1::NR4A3, underrecognized solid or anaplastic histology, and pan-Trk expression, posing tremendous challenges. Most TAF15::NR4A3-positive cases were >10 cm in size, ie, a crucial independent prognosticator, whereas pathogenic KIT mutation rarely occurred.

NR4A3 fusions characterize a distinctive peritoneal mesothelial neoplasm of uncertain biological potential with pure adenomatoid/microcystic morphology

A focal adenomatoid-microcystic pattern is not uncommon in peritoneal mesothelioma, but tumors composed almost exclusively of this pattern are distinctly rare and have not been well characterized. A small subset of mesotheliomas (mostly in children and young adults) are characterized by gene fusions including EWSR1/FUS::ATF1, EWSR1::YY1, and NTRK and ALK rearrangements, and often have epithelioid morphology. Herein, we describe five peritoneal mesothelial neoplasms (identified via molecular screening of seven histologically similar tumors) that are pure adenomatoid/microcystic in morphology and unified by the presence of an NR4A3 fusion. Patients were three males and two females aged 31-70 years (median, 40 years). Three presented with multifocal/diffuse and two with a localized disease. The size of the individual lesions ranged from 1.5 to 8 cm (median, 4.7). The unifocal lesions originated in the small bowel mesentery and the mesosigmoid. Treatment included surgery, either alone (three) or combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (two), and neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (one case each). At the last follow-up (6-13 months), all five patients were alive and disease-free. All tumors were morphologically similar, characterized by extensive sieve-like microcystic growth with bland-looking flattened cells lining variably sized microcystic spaces and lacked a conventional epithelioid or sarcomatoid component. Immunohistochemistry confirmed mesothelial differentiation, but most cases showed limited expression of D2-40 and calretinin. Targeted RNA sequencing revealed an NR4A3 fusion (fusion partners were EWSR1 in three cases and CITED2 and NIPBL in one case each). The nosology and behavior of this morphomolecularly defined novel peritoneal mesothelial neoplasm of uncertain biological potential and its distinction from adenomatoid variants of conventional mesothelioma merit further delineation as more cases become recognized.

A novel SMARCA2-CREM fusion expending the molecular spectrum of salivary gland hyalinazing clear cell carcinoma beyond the FET genes

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare salivary gland carcinoma with a generally indolent behavior, characterized by recurrent chromosomal translocation involving EWSR1 (22q12.2) leading to two fusion genes EWSR1::ATF1 or EWSR1::CREM. We report one case of HCCC with a novel SMARCA2::CREM fusion, identified by targeted RNA next generation sequencing by LD-RT-PCR, which has until now never been described in salivary glands. The exon 4 of SMARCA2 is fused to exon 5 of CREM. This fusion has been described previously in only one tumor, a central nervous system tumor (intracranial mesenchymal tumor) but not in other FET::CREB fused tumors. This fusion was confirmed by CREM break-apart FISH and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The tumor cells showed retained expression of INI1, SMARCA2, and SMARCA4 by immunohistochemistry. We compare its clinical, histopathological, immunophenotypic, genetic features with those previously described in HCCC, FET::CREB fusion-positive. Our results added data suggesting that different histomolecular tumor subtypes seem to be included within the terminology "HCCC, FET::CREB fusion-positive," and that further series of cases are needed to better characterize them.

Keratin-positive fibrotic extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: a close mimic of myoepithelial tumour

AIMS

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare form of adult sarcoma with distinct histology and NR4A3 gene fusion. Immunohistochemically, EMCs are variably positive for S100 protein and neuroendocrine markers. Unlike histologically similar soft-tissue myoepithelial tumours, keratin expression is rare. Prompted by two recent EMC cases with diffuse keratin expression, we investigated the expression of epithelial markers in a molecularly confirmed cohort of EMC and identified two additional similar cases.

METHODS AND RESULTS

Four keratin-positive EMCs occurred in one man and three women aged 46-59 years. All tumours displayed nonclassic histology with prominent stromal fibrosis, and keratin AE1/AE3 was expressed either diffusely (N = 2) or focally (N = 2). In one tumour, keratin expression was limited to the sclerotic area. All tumours coexpressed epithelial membrane antigen and two additionally expressed S100 protein or glial fibrillary acidic protein. All tumours harboured NR4A3 fusions, including TAF15::NR4A3 (N = 1) and EWSR1::NR4A3 (N = 3). Two cases were initially considered as most consistent with myoepithelial tumours based on widespread stromal fibrosis and keratin expression. DNA methylation analysis classified two tumours tested as EMCs.

CONCLUSIONS

We identified a small subset of EMCs characterised by keratin expression and prominent stromal fibrosis. This histological pattern must be recognised in the differential diagnosis of myoepithelial tumours because misclassification may lead to the erroneous prediction of tumour behaviour and may alter patient management. NR4A3 genetic analysis should be considered even in the face of keratin expression and prominent stromal fibrosis.

The SWI/SNF Complex: A Frequently Mutated Chromatin Remodeling Complex in Cancer

The switch/sucrose non-fermenting (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex is a global regulator of gene expression known to maintain nucleosome-depleted regions at active enhancers and promoters. The mammalian SWI/SNF protein subunits are encoded by 29 genes and 11-15 subunits including an ATPase domain of either SMARCA4 (BRG1) or SMARCA2 (BRM) are assembled into a complex. Based on the distinct subunits, SWI/SNF are grouped into 3 major types (subfamilies): the canonical BRG1/BRM-associated factor (BAF/cBAF), polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF), and non-canonical BAF (GBAF/ncBAF). Pan-cancer genome sequencing studies have shown that nearly 25% of all cancers bear mutations in subunits of the SWI/SNF complex, many of which are loss of function (LOF) mutations, suggesting a tumor suppressor role. Inactivation of SWI/SNF complex subunits causes widespread epigenetic dysfunction, including increased dependence on antagonistic components such as polycomb repressor complexes (PRC1/2) and altered enhancer regulation, likely promoting an oncogenic state leading to cancer. Despite the prevalence of mutations, most SWI/SNF-mutant cancers lack targeted therapeutic strategies. Defining the dependencies created by LOF mutations in SWI/SNF subunits will identify better targets for these cancers.

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. In this study, we investigated whether gene fusions in pulmonary adenocarcinoma could be accurately detected by RNA next-generation sequencing (RNA-NGS) and whether cytology cell blocks could be used effectively for this test.

METHODS

Archived cytological specimens of lung adenocarcinoma submitted for RNA sequencing between 2019 and 2022 at Fox Chase Cancer Center were retrospectively retrieved. Hybrid capture-based targeted RNA next generation sequencing was used, which covers 507 fusion genes, including ALK, ROS1, RET and NTRKs, irrespective of their partner genes. DNA NGS, FISH and chromosomal microarray analysis were used to confirm the results of the RNA-NGS.

RESULTS

A total of 129 lung adenocarcinoma cytology specimens were submitted for molecular testing. Eight of 129 (6.2%) cases were excluded from RNA sequencing as their cell blocks contained inadequate numbers of tumour cells. One case (0.8%) failed to yield adequate RNA. The overall success rate was 93% (120/129). Ten of 120 (8.3%) cytology cases were positive for gene fusions, including 7 ALK, 2 ROS1 fusion genes, and 1 RET fusion gene. Twenty-two cell block cases were also tested for ALK fusion genes using FISH. However, 11 of 22 (50%) failed the testing due to inadequate material.

CONCLUSIONS

Cytology cell blocks can be used as the main source of material for molecular testing for lung cancer. Detection of gene fusions by RNA-based NGS on cell blocks is convenient and reliable in daily practice.

A novel fusion variant LSM14A::NR4A3 in extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft tissue neoplasm of uncertain lineage characterized by the pathognomonic rearrangement of the NR4A3 gene, which in most cases is fused with EWSR1. Other NR4A3 fusion partners have been described, namely TAF15, FUS, TCF12, and TGF. Some studies suggest that EMCs with non-EWSR1 variant fusion are associated with high-grade morphology and worst clinical behavior compared to EWSR1::NR4A3 tumors, supporting the potential significance of particular fusion variant in EMC. We report a case of a 34-year-old male who presented with calf EMC and subsequently developed a slowly progressive metastatic disease 3 years after diagnosis. Whole-transcriptome analysis with total RNA sequencing enabled identification of a novel fusion transcript LSM14A::NR4A3, expanding the molecular spectrum of EMC.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: A study of 17 cases focusing on the diagnostic utility of INSM1 expression and presenting rare morphological variants associated with non-EWSR1::NR4A3 fusions

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare sarcoma of uncertain lineage. Insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) has recently been described as a highly specific and sensitive immunohistochemical marker for EMC. The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic significance of INSM1 immunohistochemistry in EMC. Furthermore, correlations between molecular and morphological findings were performed. Sixteen of 17 EMC cases were stained with the INSM1 antibody. Tumors with at least 5% INSM1-positive cells and any staining intensity were considered positive. Molecular testing was successfully performed in 12/17 cases. The immunohistochemical analysis detected 13 INSM1-positive (81%) and 3 INSM1-negative tumors (19%). The extent of the staining was classified as 1+ in 7 cases (44%), 2+ in 2 cases (13%), 3+ in 2 cases (13%) and 4+ in 2 cases (13%). Intensity of immunostaining was weak in 5 cases (31%), moderate in 2 cases (13%) and strong in 6 cases (38%). Molecular assays revealed 8 EWSR1::NR4A3 positive tumors (67%), 2 TAF15::NR4A3 positive tumors (17%), 1 TCF12::NR4A3 positive tumor (8%) and 1 NR4A3 positive tumor (8%) in which no other gene alteration was identified. Two of them, namely TCF12 positive and one TAF15 positive tumors, were highly cellular and partially associated with pseudopapillary architecture. Our study found that moderate/strong expression of INSM1 in more than 25% of tumor cells was present in only 31% of cases. Thus, the diagnostic utility of INSM1 is rather low. Two morphologically unique cases of non-EWSR1 rearranged EMC with an extremely rare pseudopapillary growth pattern are also reported.

Mutation of KIT in cellular extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma: a case report and literature review

BACKGROUND

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas (EMCs) are solid tumors that have been genetically and biologically characterized. Only a few studies have discussed the role of the KIT gene or CD117 expression in EMCs, identified by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. Herein, we present a novel case of cellular EMC exhibiting an EWSR1-NR4A3 fusion, KIT exon 13 mutations and strong diffuse expression of CD117.

CASE PRESENTATION

A 69-year-old man presented with a fist-sized tumor on his left shoulder. CT revealed a tumor in the left thoracic and dorsal muscle space. The tumor was completely resected. Histologically, the tumor cells had a nodular structure and infiltrated the peripheral fat and muscle tissues. The tumor cells were uniform in size with round nuclei, well-defined nucleoli and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CD117, vimentin, CD56 and NSE and focally expressed desmin; the cells were negative for myogenin, S-100, SYN, INSM1, CD34, STAT6, INI-1, Brachyury, ERG, TLE1, AE1/AE3, WT-1, CD99 and SMA. NGS revealed an EWSR1-NR4A3 fusion and KIT exon 13 mutations. The patient had no further treatment after surgery, and no recurrence or metastasis occurred during the ~ 10 month follow-up period.

CONCLUSIONS

Molecular detection is an indispensable technique for diagnosing cellular EMCs. The KIT mutations noted in this case report may offer fresh insights into EMCs treatment options.

A novel SMARCA2-CREM fusion: expanding the molecular spectrum of intracranial mesenchymal tumors beyond the FET genes

A novel histomolecular tumor of the central nervous system, the “intracranial mesenchymal tumor (IMT), FET-CREB fusion-positive” has recently been identified in the literature and will be added to the 2021 World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. However, our latest study using DNA-methylation analyses has revealed that intracranial FET-CREB fused tumors do not represent a single molecular tumor entity. Among them, the main subgroup presented classical features of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma, having ultrastructural features of arachnoidal cells, for. Another tumor type with clear cell component and histopathological signs of aggressivity clustered in close vicinity with clear cell sarcoma of soft tissue. Herein, we report one case of IMT with a novel SMARCA2-CREM fusion which has until now never been described in soft tissue or the central nervous system. We compare its clinical, histopathological, immunophenotypic, genetic and epigenetic features with those previously described in IMT, FET-CREB fusion-positive. Interestingly, the current case did not cluster with IMT, FET-CREB fusion-positive but rather presented histopathological (clear cell morphology with signs of malignancy), clinical (with a dismal course with several recurrences, metastases and finally the patient’s death), genetic (fusion implicating the CREM gene), and epigenetic (DNA-methylation profiling) similarities with our previously reported clear cell sarcoma-like tumor of the central nervous system. Our results added data suggesting that different clinical and histomolecular tumor subtypes or grades seem to be included within the terminology “IMT, FET-CREB fusion-positive”, and that further series of cases are needed to better characterize them.
