Abstract
AIMS NTRK-rearranged sarcomas of the female genital tract mainly occur in the uterus (more commonly cervix than corpus) and are characterized by a "fibrosarcoma-like" morphology and NTRK gene rearrangements. These neoplasms may exhibit histological overlap with other entities and can present diagnostic difficulties without molecular confirmation. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry was developed to identify tumours harbouring NTRK rearrangements. The aim of this study was to characterize pan-TRK immunohistochemical expression in a large cohort of gynaecological mesenchymal neoplasms and investigate the utility of pan-TRK immunohistochemistry to distinguish NTRK-rearranged sarcoma from its mimics. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 473 gynaecological mesenchymal tumours (461 without known NTRK fusions and 12 NTRK-rearranged sarcomas) were selected. Pan-TRK immunohistochemistry (EPR17341, Abcam) was performed on whole tissue sections and tissue microarrays. Molecular interrogation of pan-TRK positive tumours was performed by RNA sequencing or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Of the 12 NTRK-rearranged sarcomas, 11 (92%) exhibited diffuse (≥70%) cytoplasmic pan-TRK staining with moderate/marked intensity, while the other was negative. Eleven (2.4%) additional tumours also exhibited pan-TRK immunohistochemical expression: three low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas, seven high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas, and an undifferentiated uterine sarcoma. Molecular confirmation of the absence of NTRK rearrangements was possible in nine of these tumours. Of these nine neoplasms, seven exhibited focal/multifocal (<70%) pan-TRK cytoplasmic staining with weak/moderate intensity. CONCLUSION Even though pan-TRK immunohistochemical expression is not entirely sensitive or specific for NTRK-rearranged sarcomas, these neoplasms tend to exhibit diffuse staining of moderate/strong intensity, unlike its mimics. Pan-TRK should be performed in monomorphic uterine (corpus and cervix) spindle cell neoplasms that are negative for smooth muscle markers and hormone receptors and positive for CD34 and/ or S100. Ultimately, the diagnosis requires molecular confirmation.

Abstract
Neoplasms harboring a KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion were initially reported as benign (leiomyomas) and malignant (leiomyosarcomas, low-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas [LG-ESSs]) uterine neoplasms. However, they may represent an emerging entity characterized by clinical aggressiveness contrasting with a rather reassuring microscopic appearance. Here, we aimed to confirm that this neoplasm is a distinct clinicopathologic and molecular sarcoma and identify criteria that should alert pathologists and lead to KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion testing in routine practice. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive clinical, histopathologic, immunohistochemical, and molecular study, including array comparative genomic hybridization, whole RNA-sequencing, unsupervised clustering, and cDNA mutational profile analyses of 16 tumors with KAT6B::KANSL1 fusion from 12 patients. At presentation, patients were peri-menopausal (median, 47.5 years), and the primary tumors were located in the uterine corpus (12/12, 100%), with an additional prevesical location in 1 (8.3%) of 12 cases. The relapse rate was 33.3% (3/9). All tumors (16/16, 100%) showed morphologic and immunohistochemical features overlapping between leiomyoma and endometrial stromal tumors. A whirling recurrent architecture (resembling fibromyxoid-ESS/fibrosarcoma) was found in 13 (81.3%) of 16 tumors. All tumors (16/16, 100%) exhibited numerous arterioliform vessels, and 13 (81.3%) of 18 had large hyalinized central vessels and collagen deposits. Estrogen and progesterone receptors were expressed in 16 (100%) of 16 and 14 (87.5%) of 16 tumors, respectively. Array comparative genomic hybridization performed on 10 tumors classified these neoplasms as simple genomic sarcomas. Whole RNA-sequencing on 16 samples and clustering analysis on primary tumors found that the KAT6B::KANSL1 fusion always occurred between exons 3 of KAT6B and 11 of KANSL1; no pathogenic variant was identified on cDNA, all neoplasms clustered together, close to LG-ESS, and pathway enrichment analysis showed cell proliferation and immune infiltrate recruitment pathway involvement. These results confirm that the sarcomas harboring a KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion represent a distinct clinicopathologic entity, close to LG-ESS but different, with clinical aggressiveness despite a reassuring morphology, for which the KAT6B/A::KANSL1 fusion is the molecular driver alteration.

Abstract
Since the publication of the 2020 World Health Organization classification of soft tissue and bone tumors, the classification of "fibroblastic" tumors has expanded to include a novel subset of tumors characterized by PRRX1::NCOA1/2 gene fusions. These tumors defy conventional classification and are morphologically distinct, characterized by a multi-nodular growth of bland spindle cells suspended in a myxo-collagenous stroma with mild cytologic atypia, "staghorn-like" vessels, and variable perivascular hyalinization. Mitotic activity is rare, and necrosis is not identified. Herein, we present six additional cases of PRRX1-rearranged mesenchymal tumors, including five cases with PRRX1::NCOA1 fusion and one case with PRRX1::KMT2D fusion. Three cases (3/6, 50%) demonstrated focal co-expression of S100 protein and SOX10, thereby expanding the immunohistochemical profile of this emerging entity. Like prior reported cases, there was no evidence of malignant behavior on short-term follow-up. The novel fusion, PRRX1::KMT2D, further expands the molecular spectrum of this entity and leads to a proposed revision of the provisional nomenclature to "PRRX1-rearranged mesenchymal tumor" to both accommodate non-NCOA1/2 fusion partners and allow for the possibility of partial neural or neuroectodermal differentiation.

Abstract
Risk assessment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) according to the AFIP/Miettinen classification and mutational profiling are major tools for patient management. However, the AFIP/Miettinen classification depends heavily on mitotic counts, which is laborious and sometimes inconsistent between pathologists. It has also been shown to be imperfect in stratifying patients. Molecular testing is costly and time-consuming, therefore, not systematically performed in all countries. New methods to improve risk and molecular predictions are hence crucial to improve the tailoring of adjuvant therapy. We have built deep learning (DL) models on digitized HES-stained whole slide images (WSI) to predict patients' outcome and mutations. Models were trained with a cohort of 1233 GIST and validated on an independent cohort of 286 GIST. DL models yielded comparable results to the Miettinen classification for relapse-free-survival prediction in localized GIST without adjuvant Imatinib (C-index=0.83 in cross-validation and 0.72 for independent testing). DL splitted Miettinen intermediate risk GIST into high/low-risk groups (p value = 0.002 in the training set and p value = 0.29 in the testing set). DL models achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.81, 0.91, and 0.71 for predicting mutations in KIT, PDGFRA and wild type, respectively, in cross-validation and 0.76, 0.90, and 0.55 in independent testing. Notably, PDGFRA exon18 D842V mutation, which is resistant to Imatinib, was predicted with an AUC of 0.87 and 0.90 in cross-validation and independent testing, respectively. Additionally, novel histological criteria predictive of patients' outcome and mutations were identified by reviewing the tiles selected by the models. As a proof of concept, our study showed the possibility of implementing DL with digitized WSI and may represent a reproducible way to improve tailoring therapy and precision medicine for patients with GIST.

Abstract
Giant cell tumors (GCTs) with high mobility group AT-Hook 2 ( HMGA2 )::nuclear receptor corepressor 2 ( NCOR2 ) fusion are rare mesenchymal tumors of controversial nosology, which have been anecdotally reported to respond to CSFR1 inhibitors. Here, we performed a comprehensive study of 6 GCTs with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and explored their relationship with other giant cell-rich neoplasms. Tumors occurred in 4 females and 2 males ranging in age from 17 to 32 years old (median 24). Three lesions originated in subcutaneous soft tissue and 3 in bone. Tumor size ranged from 20 to 33 mm (median 27 mm). The lesions had a nodular/multinodular architecture and were composed of sheets of mononuclear "histiocytoid" cells with uniform nuclei intermingled with multinucleated giant cells. Mitotic activity was low and nuclear atypia and metaplastic bone were absent. Variable findings included necrosis, cystic degeneration, lymphocytic infiltrate (sometimes forming nodules), and xanthogranulomatous inflammation. On immunohistochemistry, all cases focally expressed pan-keratin and were negative with SATB2 and H3.3G34W. Whole RNA-sequencing was performed in all cases of GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and a subset of giant cell-rich tumors (tenosynovial-GCT, n = 19 and "wild-type" GCT of soft tissue, n = 9). Hierarchical clustering of RNA-sequencing data showed that GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion formed a single cluster, independent of the other 2 entities. Methylome profiling showed similar results, but the distinction from "wild-type" GCT of soft tissue was less flagrant. Gene expression analysis showed similar levels of expression of the CSF1/CSFR1 axis between GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and tenosynovial-GCT, supporting their potential sensitivity to CSFR1 inhibitors. Clinical follow-up was available for 5 patients (range: 10 to 64 mo; median 32 mo). Three patients (60%) experienced local recurrences, whereas none had distant metastases or died of disease. Overall, our study confirms and expands previous knowledge on GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and supports its inclusion as an independent entity.

Abstract
AIMS NTRK gene fusions have been described in a wide variety of central nervous system (CNS) and soft tissue tumours, including the provisional tumour type 'spindle cell neoplasm, NTRK-rearranged' (SCN-NTRK), added to the 2020 World Health Organisation Classification of Soft Tissue Tumours. Because of histopathological and molecular overlaps with other soft tissue entities, controversy remains concerning the lineage and terminology of SCN-NTRK. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 16 mesenchymal tumours displaying kinase gene fusions (NTRK fusions and one MET fusion) initially diagnosed as infantile fibrosarcomas (IFS), SCN-NTRK and adult-type fibrosarcomas from the soft tissue, viscera and CNS. We used immunohistochemistry, DNA methylation profiling, whole RNA-sequencing and ultrastructural analysis to characterise them. Unsupervised t-distributed stochastic neighbour embedding analysis showed that 11 cases (two CNS tumours and nine extra-CNS) formed a unique and new methylation cluster, while all tumours but one, initially diagnosed as IFS, clustered in a distinct methylation class. All the tumours except one formed a single cluster within the hierarchical clustering of whole RNA-sequencing data. Tumours from the novel methylation class co-expressed CD34 and S100, had variable histopathological grades and frequently displayed a CDKN2A deletion. Ultrastructural analyses evidenced a myofibroblastic differentiation. CONCLUSIONS Our findings confirm that SCN-NTRK share similar features in adults and children and in all locations combine an infiltrative pattern, distinct epigenetic and transcriptomic profiles, and ultrastructural evidence of a myofibroblastic lineage. Further studies may support the use of new terminology to better describe their myofibroblastic nature.

Abstract
We report a unique primary cervical neoplasm in a 44-yr-old woman which we believe, based on the morphology and immunophenotype, represents an extremely unusual small cell variant of paraganglioma. This represents the first report of a primary cervical paraganglioma. Following chemoradiation treatment, the tumor underwent malignant transformation into an S100 and SOX10 positive sarcoma, morphologically and immunohistochemically resembling a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, which we believe represents a sarcoma derived from the sustentacular cells of the paraganglioma. Mutational analysis detected a nonsense mutation of NF1 gene in the sarcoma. This further supports the diagnosis as both somatic and germline NF1 mutations have been associated with paragangliomas and malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. Targeted RNA sequencing (ARCHER, expanded sarcoma panel) covering many known genes implicated in sarcoma development, did not reveal any other molecular alteration (fusion or internal tandem duplication).

Abstract
Morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular methods often need to be combined for accurate diagnosis and optimal clinical management of sarcomas. Here, we have developed, a new molecular diagnostic assay, for the detection of gene fusions in sarcomas. This targeted multiplexed next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based method utilizes ligation dependent reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (LD-RT-PCR-NGS) to detect oncogenic fusion transcripts involving 137 genes, leading to 139 gene fusions known to be recurrently rearranged in soft-tissue and bone tumors. 158 bone and soft-tissue tumors with previously identified fusion genes by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) or RT-PCR were selected to test the specificity and the sensitivity of this assay. RNA were extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (n = 143) or frozen (n = 15) material (specimen; n = 42 or core needle biopsies; n = 116). Tested tumors encompassed 23 major translocation-related sarcomas types, including Ewing and Ewing-like sarcomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, desmoplastic small round-cell tumors, clear-cell sarcomas, infantile fibrosarcomas, endometrial stromal sarcomas, epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas, alveolar soft-part sarcomas, biphenotypic sinonasal sarcomas, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcomas, myxoid/round-cell liposarcomas, dermatofibrosarcomas protuberans and solitary fibrous tumors. In-frame fusion transcripts were detected in 98.1% of cases (155/158). Gene fusion assay results correlated with conventional techniques (FISH and RT-PCR) in 155/158 tumors (98.1%). These data demonstrate that this assay is a rapid, robust, highly sensitive, and multiplexed targeted RNA sequencing assay for the detection of recurrent gene fusions on RNA extracted from routine clinical specimens of sarcomas (formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded or frozen). It facilitates the precise diagnosis and identification of tumors with potential targetable fusions. In addition, this assay can be easily customized to cover new fusions.

Abstract
The landscape of uterine sarcomas has greatly expanded in recent years to include neoplasms with recurrent gene fusions, such as BCOR and YWHAE translocated high-grade endometrial stromal sarcomas. Sophisticated molecular techniques have also resulted in the description of "new" entities associated with recurrent kinase fusions involving NTRK and RET as well as COL1A1-PDGFB rearranged uterine sarcomas. These rare neoplasms will be discussed in this review, highlighting that some of the underlying molecular events are clinically actionable and potentially susceptible to targeted therapy. While relatively few of these neoplasms have been described to date, likely being previously lumped under the spectrum of undifferentiated uterine sarcoma, the number of cases will expand in the future given their recognition and the increasing availability of molecular testing. These neoplasms have overlapping morphology (often with a "fibrosarcoma-like" appearance) and immunohistochemical features, and are characterized by variable clinical outcomes. Although immunohistochemistry may assist in some cases, a definitive subclassification requires confirmatory molecular studies. As these molecular assays may not be routinely available in most laboratories, referral to reference centers may be needed. In order to assist the pathologist, we suggest a diagnostic algorithm for routine practice when dealing with a malignant or potentially malignant uterine spindle cell neoplasm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Next-generation sequencing of large panel of genes had been associated with clinical benefit in a significant proportion of patients with advanced cancer. However, the molecular profile of the primary tumour from the initial surgical specimen might significantly differ from the molecular profile in a tumour sample obtained from a biopsy of a metastatic site. PATIENTS AND METHODS We compare the genetic profile of primary tumours and paired metastases by using a large panel of cancer genes. Training and validation set including a total of 152 primary and metastatic tumour pairs were sequenced (up to 429 genes) focussing on variants described in the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC). RESULTS Training and validation set including a total of 152 primary and metastatic tumour pairs were sequenced focussing on variants described in COSMIC. Agreement rate between the couples of primary and metastasis on COSMIC variants was 65% (24/37) and 43% (49/115) in the training and validation cohort, respectively. That rose to 74% (20/27) and 58% (42/73) when focussing on targetable mutations. In five cases, the discordance was related to appearance of secondary resistance mutation, giving a targetable refined agreement rate of 67% (67/100). CONCLUSION Up to 40% of paired primary tumour/metastases have discordant molecular profile. Liquid biopsies may overcome, in the near future, the limits of tumour tissue genotyping.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare tumor, with poorly defined oncogenic molecular mechanisms and limited therapeutic options contributing to its poor prognosis. The aims of this retrospective study were to determine the frequency of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocations and to identify the mutational profile of ATC including TERT promoter mutations. METHODS AND MATERIALS One hundred and forty-four ATC cases were collected from 10 centers that are a part of the national French network for management of refractory thyroid tumors. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis for ALK rearrangement was performed on tissue microarrays. A panel of 50 genes using next-generation sequencing and TERT promoter mutations using Sanger sequencing were also screened. RESULTS Fluorescence in situ hybridization was interpretable for 90 (62.5%) cases. One (1.1%) case was positive for an ALK rearrangement with a borderline threshold (15% positive cells). Next-generation sequencing results were interpretable for 94 (65.3%) cases, and Sanger sequencing (TERT) for 98 (68.1%) cases. A total of 210 mutations (intronic and exonic) were identified. TP53 alterations were the most frequent (54.4%). Forty-three percent harbored a mutation in the (H-K-N)RAS genes, 13.8% a mutation in the BRAF gene (essentially p.V600E), 17% a PI3K-AKT pathway mutation, 6.4% both RAS and PI3K pathway mutations, and 4.3% both TP53 and PTEN mutations. Nearly 10% of the cases showed no mutations of the RAS, PI3K-AKT pathways, or TP53, with mutations of ALK, ATM, APC, CDKN2A, ERBB2, RET, or SMAD4, including mutations not yet described in thyroid tumors. Genes encoding potentially druggable targets included: mutations in the ATM gene in four (4.3%) cases, in ERBB2 in one (1.1%) case, in MET in one (1.1%) case, and in ALK in one (1.1%) case. A TERT promoter alteration was found in 53 (54.0%) cases, including 43 C228T and 10 C250T mutations. Three out of our cases did not harbor mutations in the panel of genes with therapeutic interest. CONCLUSION This study confirms that ALK rearrangements in ATC are rare and that the mutational landscape of ATC is heterogeneous, with many genes implicated in the follicular epithelial cell dedifferentiation process. This may explain the limited effectiveness of targeted therapeutic options tested so far.

Abstract
Previous precision medicine studies have investigated conventional molecular techniques and/or limited sets of gene alterations. The aim of this study was to describe the impact of the next-generation sequencing of the largest panel of genes used to date in tumour tissue and blood in the context of institutional molecular screening programmes. DNA analysis was performed by next-generation sequencing using a panel of 426 cancer-related genes and by comparative genomic hybridization from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded archived tumour samples when available or from fresh tumour samples. Five hundred sixty-eight patients were enrolled. The median number of prior lines of treatment was 2 (range 0–9). The most common primary tumour types were lung (16.9%), colorectal (14.4%), breast (10.6%), ovarian (10.2%) and sarcoma (10.2%). The median patient age was 63 years (range 19–88). A total of 292 patients (51.4%) presented with at least one actionable genetic alteration. The 20 genes most frequently altered were TP53, CDKN2A, KRAS, PTEN, PI3KCA, RB1, APC, ERBB2, MYC, EGFR, CDKN2B, ARID1A, SMAD4, FGFR1, MDM2, BRAF, ATM, CCNE1, FGFR3 and FRS2. One hundred fifty-nine patients (28%) were included in early phase trials. The treatment was matched with a tumour profile in 86 cases (15%). The two main reasons for non-inclusion were non-progressive disease (31.5%) and general status deterioration (25%). Twenty-eight percent of patients presented with a growth modulation index (time to progression under the early phase trial treatment/time to progression of the previous line of treatment) >1.3. Extensive molecular profiling using high-throughput techniques allows for the identification of actionable mutations in the majority of cases and is associated with substantial clinical benefit in up to one in four patients.

Abstract
Desmoid type fibromatosis (DT) is a rare lesion of unclear pathogenesis that most often presents a mutation of the (β-catenin) gene. The natural history and clinical evolution are highly variable between patients and to date there is no consensus on optimal therapy. We report two cases of a patient with multiple DT lesions. Molecular investigations performed in both patients on multiple tumors at different anatomical sites revealed non-identical CTNNB1 mutations. The first patient was a 39-year-old man with a history of recurrent DT. In two of the DT lesions, three different mutations were found in codons 41 and 45, respectively. The lesions showed marked inflammatory features, characterized by IgG4 positive lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates and a foreign body reaction, which increased in intensity over time. The patient was eventually treated with a COX-2 inhibitor and the remaining mass was stabilized. In the two DT lesions of the second patient, CTNNB1 mutations S45P and T41A were found. The presence of different mutations in multiple focally recurrent sporadic DT lesions indicates that they do not have a clonal relationship. Our data suggest that a CTNNB1 mutation is a necessary event probably by providing a selective growth advantage. An IgG4 host antigen response is discussed as a potential predisposing factor for one of the patients.

Abstract
Nutlin inhibits TP53-MDM2 interaction and is under investigation in soft-tissue sarcomas (STS) and other malignancies. Molecular mechanisms of secondary resistance to nutlin in STS are unknown. We performed whole-transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) on three pretreatment and secondary resistant STS cell lines selected based on their high primary sensitivity to nutlin. Our data identified a subset of cancer gene mutations and ploidy variations that were positively selected following treatment, including TP53 mutations in 2 out of 3 resistant cell lines. Further, secondary resistance to nutlin was associated with deregulation of apoptosis-related genes and marked productive autophagy, the inhibition of which resulted in significant restoration of nutlin-induced cell death. Collectively, our findings argue that secondary resistance to nutlin in STS involved heterogeneous mechanisms resulting from clonal evolution and several biological pathways. Alternative dosing regimens and combination with other targeted agents are needed to achieve successful development of nutlin in the clinical setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mutated KIT and platelet-derived growth factor alpha gene (PDGFRA) drive GI stromal tumor (GIST) oncogenesis, but the clinical significance of their single mutations is known incompletely. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 11 population-based series of patients with GIST through a literature search and pooled individual data from 3,067 patients treated with macroscopically complete tumor excision. Mutation analysis was done from 1,505 tumors. We analyzed associations between KIT and PDGFRA mutations and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the subsets in which patients were treated with surgery alone. RESULTS We identified 301 different single mutations in KIT and 33 in PDGFRA. Patients with PDGFRA mutations had more favorable RFS than those with KIT mutations (hazard ratio, 0.34; P = .004). Only one of the 35 GISTs with KIT exon 11 duplication mutations recurred. Patients with deletions of only one codon of KIT exon 11 had better RFS than those with another deletion type, and some KIT exon 11 substitution mutations (Trp557Arg, Val559Ala, and Leu576Pro) were also associated with favorable RFS. Patients with an identical mutation had greatly variable outcomes depending on the standard prognostic factors, notably, mitotic count. Commonly used risk stratification schemes tended to overestimate the risk for recurrence in subgroups with prognostically favorable mutations. CONCLUSION GISTs with an identical KIT or PDGFRA mutation may have widely varying risks for recurrence. Most of the patients with PDGFRA mutations and those with KIT exon 11 duplication mutation or deletion of one codon have favorable RFS with surgery alone and are usually not candidates for adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the mutational status in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) can predict the response to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, the role of tumor genotype as a prognostic factor remains controversial. The ConticaGIST study sought to determine the pathologic and molecular factors associated with disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with operable, imatinib-naive GIST. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Clinicopathologic and molecular data from 1,056 patients with localized GIST who underwent surgery with curative intention (R0/R1) and were registered in the European ConticaGIST database were prospectively obtained and reviewed. Risk of tumor recurrence was stratified using the modified NIH criteria. The median follow-up was 52 months. RESULTS On testing for potential prognostic parameters, the following were associated with inferior DFS on multivariable Cox model analysis: primary nongastric site, size >10 cm, mitotic index >10 mitoses per 50 high power field, and the KIT exon 9 duplication [hazard ratio (HR), 1.47; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.9-2.5; P = 0.037] and KIT exon 11 deletions involving codons 557 and/or 558 [KITdel-inc557/558; HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.0-2.2; P = 0.004]. Conversely, PDGFRA exon 18 mutations were indicators of better prognosis [HR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.1-0.6; P = 0.002]. KITdel-inc557/558 were an adverse indicator only in GIST localized in the stomach (P < 0.001) but not in tumors with nongastric origin. In gastric GIST, all other mutations presented remarkably superior 5-year DFS. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, tumor genotype is an independent molecular prognostic variable associated with gastric GIST and should be used for optimizing tailored adjuvant imatinib treatment.

Abstract
We report novel molecular and pathologic features of sarcomas involving the heart. Intimal sarcoma appears as the most frequent primary cardiac sarcoma within the largest described series of 100 primary cardiac sarcomas. Immunohistochemical analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and array-comparative genomic hybridization were performed on materials from 65 women and 35 men, aged 18 to 82 years (mean 50 y), retrieved from the French Departments of Pathology, between 1977 and early 2013. Right and left heart was involved in 44 and 56 cases, respectively. There were 42 intimal sarcomas, 26 angiosarcomas, 22 undifferentiated sarcomas, 7 synovial sarcomas, 2 leiomyosarcomas, and 1 peripheral neuroectodermal tumor. All but 1 angiosarcomas originated from the right heart, whereas 83% of the intimal sarcomas and 72% of the undifferentiated sarcomas were from the left heart. MDM2 overexpression was immunohistochemically observed in all intimal sarcomas, as well as in 10 of the 22 undifferentiated sarcomas and in 5 of the 26 angiosarcomas. MDM2 amplification was only demonstrated in intimal sarcomas. Genomic analysis showed a complex profile, with recurrent 12q13-14 amplicon involving MDM2, 4q12 amplicon involving KIT and PDGFRA, 7p12 gain involving EGFR, and 9p21 deletion targeting CDKN2A. Immunohistochemical detection of MDM2 overexpression can easily detect intimal sarcoma, provided that molecular aberration is proved. As resections are limited to the left atrium, this histologic subtype could benefit from therapies targeting PDGFRA or MDM2.

Abstract
Background It remains presently unclear whether disease progression in colorectal carcinoma (CRC), from early, to invasive and metastatic forms, is associated to a gradual increase in genetic instability and to a scheme of sequentially occurring Copy Number Alterations (CNAs). Methods In this work we set to determine the existence of such links between CRC progression and genetic instability and searched for associations with patient outcome. To this aim we analyzed a set of 162 Chromosomal Instable (CIN) CRCs comprising 131 primary carcinomas evenly distributed through stage 1 to 4, 31 metastases and 14 adenomas by array-CGH. CNA profiles were established according to disease stage and compared. We, also, asked whether the level of genomic instability was correlated to disease outcome in stage 2 and 3 CRCs. Two metrics of chromosomal instability were used; (i) Global Genomic Index (GGI), corresponding to the fraction of the genome involved in CNA, (ii) number of breakpoints (nbBP). Results Stage 1, 2, 3 and 4 tumors did not differ significantly at the level of their CNA profiles precluding the conventional definition of a progression scheme based on increasing levels of genetic instability. Combining GGI and nbBP,we classified genomic profiles into 5 groups presenting distinct patterns of chromosomal instability and defined two risk classes of tumors, showing strong differences in outcome and hazard risk (RFS: p = 0.012, HR = 3; OS: p < 0.001, HR = 9.7). While tumors of the high risk group were characterized by frequent fractional CNAs, low risk tumors presented predominantly whole chromosomal arm CNAs. Searching for CNAs correlating with negative outcome we found that losses at 16p13.3 and 19q13.3 observed in 10% (7/72) of stage 2–3 tumors showed strong association with early relapse (p < 0.001) and death (p < 0.007, p < 0.016). Both events showed frequent co-occurrence (p < 1x10-8) and could, therefore, mark for stage 2–3 CRC susceptible to negative outcome. Conclusions Our data show that CRC disease progression from stage 1 to stage 4 is not paralleled by increased levels of genetic instability. However, they suggest that stage 2–3 CRC with elevated genetic instability and particularly profiles with fractional CNA represent a subset of aggressive tumors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Until now, FISH has been the gold standard technique to identify HER2 amplification status in ambiguous cases of breast cancer. Alternative techniques have been developed to increase the capacities of investigating HER2 amplification status. The aims of this multicenter study in a large series of breast cancer patients were to prospectively compare the level of performance of CISH, SISH, and qPCR alternative techniques on paraffin-embedded core biopsies with "gold standard FISH" for evaluation of HER2 amplification status. METHODS This study was performed on 840 cases scored by immunohistochemistry (IHC): 0=317 (38%), 1+=183 (22%), 2+=109 (13%), 3+=231 (27%). Each of the 15 French centers participating in the study analyzed 56 breast carcinoma cases diagnosed on fixed paraffin-embedded core biopsies. HER2 amplification status was determined by commercially available FISH used as the reference technique with determination of the HER2/CEN17 ratio or HER2 copy number status. The alternative techniques performed on the same cases were commercially available SISH or CISH and a common qPCR method especially designed for the study including a set of 10 primer pairs: 2 for HER2 (exons 8 and 26), 5 to evaluate chromosome 17 polysomy TAOK1, UTP6, MRM1, MKS1, SSTR2 and 3 for diploidy control TSN, LAP3 and ADAMTS16. RESULTS The concordance between IHC and FISH was 96% to 95% based on the HER2/CEN17 ratio (n=766) or HER2 copy number (n=840), respectively. The concordance of the alternative techniques with FISH was excellent: 97% and 98% for SISH (498 and 587 cases), 98% and 75% for CISH (108 and 204 cases) and 95% and 93% (699 and 773 cases) for qPCR based on the HER2/CEN17 ratio or HER2 copy number, respectively. Similarly, sensitivity ranged from 99% to 95% for SISH, 100% to 99% for CISH and 89% to 80% for qPCR. The concordance with FISH (ratio) in the 2+ cases was 89% for SISH, 100% for CISH and 93% for qPCR. CONCLUSION These alternative techniques showed an excellent concordance with FISH in core biopsies allowing their use in routine clinical practice. This newly designed qPCR on paraffin-embedded core biopsies deserves special attention, as it is reliable, easy to perform and less expensive than ISH tests.

Abstract
PURPOSE The importance of KIT and PDGFRA mutations in the oncogenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is well established, but the genetic basis of GIST metastasis is poorly understood. We recently published a 67 gene expression prognostic signature related to genome complexity (CINSARC for Complexity INdex in SARComas) and asked whether it could predict outcome in GISTs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We carried out genome and expression profiling on 67 primary untreated GISTs. RESULTS We show and validate here that it can predict metastasis in a new data set of 67 primary untreated GISTs. The gene whose expression was most strongly associated with metastasis was AURKA, but the AURKA locus was not amplified. Instead, we identified deletion of the p16 (CDKN2A) and retinoblastoma (RB1) genes as likely causal events leading to increased AURKA and CINSARC gene expression, to chromosome rearrangement, and ultimately to metastasis. On the basis of these findings, we established a Genomic Index that integrates the number and type of DNA copy number alterations. This index is a strong prognostic factor in GISTs. We show that CINSARC class, AURKA expression, and Genomic Index all outperform the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) grading system in determining the prognosis of patients with GISTs. Interestingly, these signatures can identify poor prognosis patients in the group classified as intermediate-risk by the AFIP classification. CONCLUSIONS We propose that a high Genomic Index determined by comparative genomic hybridization from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples could be used to identify AFIP intermediate-risk patients who would benefit from imatinib therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although most gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) carry oncogenic mutations in KIT exons 9, 11, 13 and 17, or in platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) exons 12, 14 and 18, around 10% of GIST are free of these mutations. Genotyping and accurate detection of KIT/PDGFRA mutations in GIST are becoming increasingly useful for clinicians in the management of the disease. METHOD To evaluate and improve laboratory practice in GIST mutation detection, we developed a mutational screening quality control program. Eleven laboratories were enrolled in this program and 50 DNA samples were analysed, each of them by four different laboratories, giving 200 mutational reports. RESULTS In total, eight mutations were not detected by at least one laboratory. One false positive result was reported in one sample. Thus, the mean global rate of error with clinical implication based on 200 reports was 4.5%. Concerning specific polymorphisms detection, the rate varied from 0 to 100%, depending on the laboratory. The way mutations were reported was very heterogeneous, and some errors were detected. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that such a program was necessary for laboratories to improve the quality of the analysis, because an error rate of 4.5% may have clinical consequences for the patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KRAS and BRAF mutations in primary colorectal tumors (PT) are predictive of nonresponse to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibodies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The question of primary resistance to anti-EGFR treatment as a result of the presence of KRAS or BRAF mutations only in metastases has been raised but not resolved. METHODS We analyzed the mutational status of KRAS and BRAF in 64 new patients with mCRC and performed a systematic review of published data from 285 patients. RESULTS A total of 285 and 95 matched PT/metastases were available for the analysis of the KRAS and the BRAF status, respectively. An identical mutational pattern of KRAS in PT and the matching metastases were reported in all the cases but 14 (5%). In six cases (2%), KRAS was mutated in the PT and wild type in the metastatic site, whereas in eight cases (3%), KRAS was wild type in the PT and mutated in the metastatic site. An identical mutational pattern of BRAF in PT and the matching metastases was reported in all but two cases (3%). In one case (1.5%), BRAF was mutated in the PT and wild type in the metastatic site, whereas in one case (1.5%), BRAF was wild type in the PT and mutated in the metastatic site. CONCLUSIONS The acquisition by metastases of a KRAS or a BRAF mutation that was not present in the PT is a rare event, occurring in 5% of cases of mCRC. This is not a frequent mechanism of primary resistance to anti-EGFR treatments in mCRC.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors characterized by mutations of KIT or PDGFRA. The objectives of this study were to evaluate BRAF mutations in GISTs and then to correlate BRAF mutational status in the tumor with clinical parameters, with B-raf expression, and with activation of some cellular pathways. BRAF mutation was screened in 321 GISTs with 70 wild-type GISTs. BRAF V600E was detected in 9 (13%) of 70 wild-type GISTs. No mutations were detected in GISTs bearing KIT or PDGFRA mutations. BRAF V600E detection in the tumor does not induce a higher expression of the B-raf protein or the preferential activation of the p42/44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway compared with GISTs without the BRAF mutation. In comparison with the GIST group with KIT or PDGFRA mutation or the wild-type GIST group without BRAF mutation, the wild-type GIST group with a BRAF mutation is not different in terms of B-raf expression or the p44/42 MAPK- or AKT-activated signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND KIT exon 11 mutations are observed in 60% of gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST). Exon 11 codes for residues Tyr568 and Tyr570, which play a major role in signal transduction and degradation of KIT. Our aim was to compare the outcome of patients with deletion of both Tyr568-570 (delTyr) and the most frequent deletion delWK557-558 (delWK). METHODS Pathology and clinical characteristics of 68 patients with delTyr (n=26) or delWK (n=42) were reviewed and compared. RESULTS GISTs with delTyr were more frequently extragastric than those with delWK (69 vs 26%, P<0.0005). After curative surgery, median relapse-free survival were 10.8 and 11.1 months for patients with delTyr (n=14) and delWK (n=29), respectively (P=0.92). All patients treated with imatinib for a non-resectable or metastatic GIST had an objective response (n=15) or a stable disease (n=21) as best response, regardless of mutation. Median progression-free survival with imatinib were 21.9 and 18.9 months for patients with GIST with delTyr (n=14) and delWK (n=22), respectively (P=0.43). CONCLUSION In this large retrospective series, the type of KIT exon 11 mutation was correlated with the origin of GIST, but not with prognosis or response to imatinib.

Abstract
Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DLPS) is one of the most frequent sarcomas of the retroperitoneum and represents most undifferentiated sarcomas of the internal trunk. In about 5% cases, the dedifferentiated component is an heterologous sarcoma such as leiomyosarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma. We reviewed a series of 65 sarcomas with a myogenic differentiation developed in the internal trunk for which initial diagnoses were leiomyosarcoma (37), rhabdomyosarcoma (6), malignant mesenchymoma (6), and DLPS (16). Immunostainings for MDM2, CDK4, alpha smooth actin, desmin, caldesmon, myogenin, c-kit, and progesterone receptor were performed. In 48 cases, the amplification status of MDM2 and CDK4 could be evaluated with quantitative polymerase chain reaction on paraffin-embedded tissues extracted DNAs. After review of the cases, final diagnoses were leiomyosarcoma (35), rhabdomyosarcomatous (20) or leiomyosarcomatous (7) DLPS, probable DLPS (2), and malignant mesenchymoma (1). DLPS were bigger tumors (median: 18.2 cm) than leiomyosarcomas (median: 12 cm). They had a lower 5-year recurrence-free survival than leiomyosarcomas (45% vs. 71%) but a higher 5-year metastasis-free survival (73% vs. 39%). There was no significant difference in overall survival (57% vs. 34%). Outcome of patients with a DLPS with a myosarcomatous component did not differ from conventional DLPS. In conclusion, most sarcomas with a rhabdomyosarcomatous differentiation occurring in the internal trunk of adults are DLPS. Moreover, DLPS with a myogenic component have a low metastatic potential, similar to conventional DLPS and significantly lower to the metastatic potential of leiomyosarcomas.

Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcomas and dedifferentiated liposarcomas are characterized by the amplification of MDM2 and CDK4 genes. To evaluate the accuracy of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis in the differential diagnosis of adipose tissue tumors, we investigated MDM2-CDK4 status by FISH, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) [quantitative PCR (Q-PCR)] and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a series of 200 adipose tumors. First, we evaluated MDM2-CDK4 amplification and expression in a series of 94 well-defined adipose tissue tumors. Results showed that FISH was interpretable in 45 of 50 cases (90%), and was more specific and sensitive than Q-PCR and IHC. We then used the same techniques as complementary diagnostic tools in a series of 106 adipose and soft tissue tumors of unclear diagnosis to distinguish between (i) lipomas and atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcomas, (ii) malignant undifferentiated tumors and dedifferentiated liposarcomas, and (iii) a variety of benign tumors and liposarcomas. Our results indicate that although helpful, IHC alone is often insufficient to solve diagnostic problems. FISH and Q-PCR methods gave concordant results and were equally informative in most cases. However, the proportion of noninterpretable cases was slightly higher with FISH than with Q-PCR. When tumor cells represented a minor component of the tumor tissue, such as with inflammatory tumors, FISH was more powerful than Q-PCR by allowing visualization of individual cells. In conclusion, we recommend that the evaluation of MDM2-CDK4 amplification using FISH or Q-PCR be used to supplement IHC analysis when diagnosis of adipose tissue tumors is not possible based on clinical and histologic information alone.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal tumors arising in the stomach and small bowel and more rarely in the rectum, esophagus, peritoneum and retroperitoneum. These tumors are characterized by KIT or PDGFRA mutations. KIT mutations are all in frame and lead to constitutive tyrosine kinase domain activation without ligand binding. Mutations concern four exons (9, 11, 13 and 17) but mainly exon 11. We report a new mutation in exon 9, since only AY 502-503 duplication/insertion, FAF 506 insertion and P456S substitution have been previously reported. This mutation consists of a large deletion of 43 nucleotides and an insertion of 25 nucleotides. More surprisingly, the sequence inserted corresponds to the complementary sequence of the wild allele but in the opposite sense. To our knowledge, this mutation has never been previously described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clear cell sarcoma (CCS) is a rare tumor with a very poor prognosis that occurs predominantly in the distal extremities of young adults. Most patients bear the t(12;22) reciprocal translocation, which involves the EWS and ATF1 genes. The diagnosis of CCS usually is easy but may be challenging in unusual sites, and the detection of EWS-ATF1 fusion transcripts is helpful to rule out a metastatic melanoma. METHODS Forty-four patients with CCS and 14 conventional melanomas were examined for the presence of EWS-ATF1 transcripts by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis on paraffin embedded tissues, including frozen samples for 9 CCS samples and 9 melanoma samples. Prior to molecular analysis, the diagnosis of CCS was considered certain in 35 patients and as probable in 9 patients on the basis of location, histologic features, and immunohistochemical profile. Treatment modalities and follow-up were available for 41 patients with CCS. RESULTS EWS-ATF1 fusion transcripts were detected in 38 paraffin embedded CCS tissues (86% of all samples; 93% of interpretable samples), 3 samples (7%) were negative, and 3 samples (7%) were considered uninterpretable. Fusion transcripts were detected in 7 of 9 samples for which the diagnosis of CCS was considered probable. EWS-ATF1 transcripts were not detected in the 14 samples of melanoma. Results from frozen tissues were concordant with those from all corresponding paraffin embedded samples. Twenty-eight of 41 patients (68%) experienced lymph node and/or distant metastasis, and the 5 year-survival rate was 44%. Mitotic index and histologic grade were predictive of survival and distant metastasis. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study showed that the molecular detection of EWS-ATF1 fusion transcript by real-time PCR on paraffin embedded tissues is a sensitive and specific method for the diagnosis of CCS. It is an efficient tool for the diagnosis of unusual tumors, especially with regard to its distinction from melanoma. The current results also confirmed the poor prognosis for patients with this tumor type. Mitotic index and grade were predictive factors for survival and distant metastasis.

Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT-WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) may be difficult to distinguish from benign adipose tumors and from poorly differentiated sarcomas, respectively. Genetically, they are characterized by amplification of MDM2 and CDK4 genes on chromosome 12q13-15. We examined a series of 559 soft tissue tumors (44 ALT-WDLPS, 61 DDLPS, 49 benign adipose tumors, and 405 non-ALT-WDLPS/DDLPS sarcomas) for MDM2 and CDK4 expression using immunohistochemistry. MDM2 and CDK4 immunoexpressions were compared with gene amplification status (as assessed by quantitative PCR and/or comparative genomic hybridization) in 241 neoplasms. Most ALT-WDLPS/DDLPS expressed MDM2 (97%) and CDK4 (92%) as opposed to few benign adipose tumors (MDM2, 5%; CDK4, 2%) and a limited number of non-ALT-WDLSP/DDLPS sarcomas (MDM2, 19%; CDK4, 6%). The sensitivity and specificity of MDM2 and CDK4 immunostainings in identifying ALT-WDLPS/DDLPS among other soft tissue tumors were 97% and 92%, and 83% and 95%, respectively. MDM2 and CDK4 immunostainings were particularly useful to separate ALT-WDLPS from the large group of differentiated adipose tumors, and to distinguish DDLPS from poorly differentiated sarcomas. A strong correlation was observed between MDM2 and CDK4 stainings and gene amplification status. In conclusion, MDM2 and CDK4 immunostainings, which correlate with gene amplification, are helpful adjuncts to differentiate ALT-WDLPS from benign adipose tumors and to separate DDLPS from poorly differentiated sarcomas.

Abstract
A clear cell sarcoma, arising primarily in the ileum of a 35-year-old man, is reported. Histologically, the neoplasm infiltrated the full thickness of the intestinal wall. It consisted of strands and sheets of round to spindle-shaped cells with clear to eosinophilic cytoplasm, vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli. Vascular invasion was present at diagnosis. Tumour cells expressed S-100 protein, melan-A and tyrosinase. They were negative for HMB45, CD117, cytokeratins, epithelial membrane antigen, smooth muscle actin, desmin, CD31, CD34, chromogranin and synaptophysin. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis performed on paraffin-embedded tissue showed EWS-ATF1 fusion transcripts representative of the t(12;22) (q13;q12) clear cell sarcoma reciprocal translocation. The patient, who developed liver metastases 2 months after diagnosis, died of disease at 15 months. This case demonstrates that the gastrointestinal tract is a potential site for primary clear cell sarcoma of soft tissues, and, furthermore, that cytogenetics and/or molecular techniques play a central role in the diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Identification of the alveolar subtype of rhabdomyosarcoma (ARMS) is important, because the poor prognosis associated with this subtype necessitates a modified therapeutic regimen. At present, ARMS diagnoses are made on the basis of histologic findings and the extent of myogenin immunopositivity. Nonetheless, the absence of an alveolar pattern in the solid variant, the low degree of differentiation in certain embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas (ERMS), and the increasing use of microbiopsy samples make the diagnosis of ARMS somewhat difficult. Two specific translocations have been found in ARMS, and fusion transcripts can be detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of paraffin-embedded tissue (PET). METHODS To assess the value of myogenin staining and molecular testing in the diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma, the authors examined 109 rhabdomyosarcoma samples (45 ARMS samples and 64 ERMS samples). Real-time RT-PCR analysis of PET was performed in all 109 rhabdomyosarcomas, and RT-PCR analysis of frozen material was performed in 24 cases. RESULTS PAX fusion transcripts were present in 44 cases (39 ARMS and 5 ERMS) and absent in 52 cases (2 ARMS and 50 ERMS). In 13 cases (4 ARMS and 9 ERMS), the results were not interpretable. Results were concordant between paired frozen and fixed tumor samples. All 35 interpretable ERMS samples that contained < 50% myogenin-positive cells failed to yield detectable PAX fusion transcripts. Of the 61 interpretable tumor samples (41 ARMS and 20 ERMS) that contained > 50% myogenin-positive cells, 44 (39 ARMS and 5 ERMS) yielded detectable PAX fusion transcripts. CONCLUSIONS The current study demonstrates that molecular detection of PAX fusion transcripts via real-time RT-PCR analysis of PET is a sensitive and specific method for the diagnosis of ARMS and that immunohistochemical analysis of myogenin expression can be used to select cases for such molecular testing. Although RT-PCR analysis appears not to possess diagnostic value in tumors with < 50% tumor cell immunopositivity, it is strongly recommended for the diagnosis of tumors containing > 50% myogenin-positive cells.

Abstract
Inflammatory malignant fibrous histiocytoma (inflammatory MFH) is a very rare tumour that occurs most often in the retroperitoneum. So far, it has been considered to be a special subtype of MFH. As it is now widely accepted that most retroperitoneal pleomorphic MFHs are dedifferentiated liposarcomas, the present study compared histological features, genomic profile (CGH analysis), and MDM2 and CDK4 status (immunohistochemistry, FISH, and quantitative PCR) in inflammatory MFHs from 12 patients and dedifferentiated liposarcomas that had an inflammatory MFH component from eight patients. Metaphase cytogenetic and FISH analyses were also performed on one inflammatory MFH. Histological review showed areas of well-differentiated liposarcoma in nine inflammatory MFHs. CGH analysis showed 12q13-15 amplification or gain in six of seven inflammatory MFHs and in seven of seven dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity of tumour cells for MDM2 in every tumour in both groups and for CDK4 in ten and seven inflammatory MFHs and dedifferentiated liposarcomas, respectively. Metaphase cytogenetic and FISH analysis performed on one inflammatory MFH showed the presence of a supernumerary large marker chromosome and ring chromosome with high-level amplification of both MDM2 and CDK4 genes. FISH analysis on paraffin wax-embedded sections showed amplifications of MDM2 and CDK4 in seven of seven inflammatory MFHs and in seven of seven dedifferentiated liposarcomas. Quantitative PCR showed amplification of MDM2 in six and of CDK4 in seven of nine inflammatory MFHs. In conclusion, this study strongly suggests that most so-called inflammatory MFHs are dedifferentiated liposarcomas.

Abstract
Atypical lipomatous tumours/well-differentiated liposarcomas and dedifferentiated liposarcomas are characterized by 12q13-15 region amplification. In contrast, this molecular event has not been reported in benign lipomas. Within the 12q13-15 chromosomal region, the MDM2, SAS, HMGA2, and CDK4 genes are the most frequent targets of amplification. A series of lipomas (36 cases) and liposarcomas (48 cases) was analysed for MDM2 and CDK4 gene amplification by real-time PCR. MDM2 and CDK4 gene amplification was detected in 2.8% and 5.6% of lipomas and 98.2% and 82.4% of liposarcomas, respectively. Moreover, co-amplification of the two genes as well as a higher-level amplification was observed more frequently in dedifferentiated liposarcomas than in atypical lipomatous tumours/well-differentiated liposarcomas. Real-time PCR proved to be a fast and reliable method to characterize lipomas and liposarcomas by quantification of MDM2 and CDK4 gene amplification. It is applicable to paraffin wax-embedded tissues and could be useful when histological diagnosis is difficult.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The t(X;18) translocation is a specific marker of synovial sarcomas (SS). Detection of SYT-SSX transcripts by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was tested on preselected specimens of well-established histologic types, but to our knowledge, the diagnostic utility of molecular assays on a series of potential SS in comparison with conventional tools has never been reported. METHODS Two hundred four consecutive cases of potential SS submitted for a second opinion were studied prospectively. On the basis of clinical context, histologic aspect, and immunohistochemical profile, the tumors were divided into three categories: 1) diagnosis of SS certain, when the only possible diagnosis was SS; 2) diagnosis of SS probable, when SS was the first diagnosis contemplated, but a differential diagnostic issue was raised by other tumors; 3) diagnosis of SS possible, when the diagnosis of SS was not the first diagnosis considered. Detection of SYT-SSX transcripts was performed using real-time PCR from fixed, embedded tissue as a systematic test. RESULTS Sufficient RNA samples were recovered for PCR from 177 specimens (87%). One hundred four specimens (51%) were positive for SYT-SSX transcripts. Tumor sites of SS included the extremities (n = 57), lung (n = 13), trunk wall (n = 12), head and neck (n = 6), and other sites (n = 16). There were 61 monophasic, 22 poorly differentiated, 17 biphasic, and 4 predominantly epithelial SS. For 58 tumor specimens (29%), diagnosis of SS was certain before molecular testing; 49 (84.5%) of these 58 contained SYT-SSX transcripts. For 39 tumor specimens (19%), diagnosis of SS was probable; 29 (74.4%) of these 39 contained SYT-SSX transcripts. For 107 tumor specimens (52%), diagnosis of SS was only possible and strongly challenged by another histologic type. The issue consisted mainly of making the distinction between an SS and a poorly differentiated spindle cell sarcoma (n = 49), a poorly differentiated round cell sarcoma (n = 34), a carcinoma (n = 11), a myoepithelioma (n = 8), or an epithelioid fibrosarcoma (n = 5).Twenty-six tumor specimens (24.3%) contained SYT-SSX transcripts-10, 7, 5, 3, and 1 in the spindle cell tumor, round cell tumor, carcinomalike tumor, myoepitheliomalike tumor, and epithelioid-fibrosarcoma-like tumor categories, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Molecular testing was not required if the diagnosis of SS was certain or probable on the basis of clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical evaluation. However, it proved to be very helpful or necessary when the diagnosis of SS was only possible and was challenged by other tumor types, mainly other spindle cell sarcomas, round cell sarcomas, carcinomas, myoepitheliomas, and epithelioid fibrosarcomas.

Abstract
Dedifferentiated and differentiated liposarcoma are characterized by 12q15 chromosomal amplification. Comparative genomic hybridization is a powerful tool able to detect DNA copy number changes in the genome. This technique has been widely used in frozen tumors and in some studies in paraffin-embedded tumors fixed with formalin. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the ability of CGH to detect DNA copy number changes in the genome when the DNA was extracted from tissues fixed with Holland Bouin's fluid. Sixteen liposarcoma tumors both frozen and fixed in Holland Bouin's fluid were characterized by CGH. Eighty-one percent of the main chromosomal alterations detected in the frozen liposarcomas (amp 12q15, amp 6q23, amp 1p32, amp 16q22, +7, +8) were detected in the corresponding fixed tumors. The limitation of this technique when using Holland Bouin's fluid extracted DNA compared with formalin-extracted DNA was the yield of analyzable samples. Eighty-one percent of tumors fixed with Holland Bouin's fluid (13/16) were analyzable compared with 100% of formalin-fixed tumors (4/4). This study demonstrates that comparative genomic hybridization is a useful tool even if only fixed tissues (formalin and Holland Bouin's fluid tissues) are available, and that it allows more tumors to be analyzed in retrospective studies.

Abstract
Forty-four samples from 25 cases of retroperitoneal sarcoma initially diagnosed as malignant fibrous histiocytoma were histologically reviewed. Immunohistochemistry for mdm2 and cdk4 was performed on 20 cases. Comparative genomic hybridization was performed on 18 samples from 13 patients. Seventeen cases were reclassified as dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Twenty-one of 32 samples from these patients showed areas of well-differentiated liposarcoma, allowing the diagnosis of dedifferentiated liposarcoma. Immunohistochemistry performed in 15 of these cases showed positivity for mdm2 and cdk4. Comparative genomic hybridization analysis performed on 15 samples from 11 of these patients showed an amplification of the 12q13-15 region. Eight cases were reclassified as poorly differentiated sarcoma. Twelve samples from these patients showed no area of well-differentiated liposarcoma. Immunohistochemistry showed positivity for mdm2 and cdk4 in one of six of these patients and showed positivity for CD34 in another one. Comparative genomic hybridization analysis performed on three samples from two of these patients showed no amplification of the 12q13-15 region but showed complex profiles. This study shows that most so-called malignant fibrous histiocytomas developed in the retroperitoneum are dedifferentiated liposarcoma and that a poorly differentiated sarcoma in this area should prompt extensive sampling to demonstrate a well-differentiated liposarcoma component, immunohistochemistry for mdm2 and cdk4, and if possible, a cytogenetic or a molecular biology analysis.

Abstract
Diagnosing monophasic fibrous and poorly differentiated synovial sarcoma (SS) on morphology alone is often a source of problems for pathologists. SS bear the t(X;18)(p11.2,q11.2) translocation, which proved to be specific for this tumor type and is currently considered one of the most reliable diagnostic criteria. To evaluate the sensitivity of immunohistochemical techniques in diagnosing monophasic fibrous SS (MFSS) and poorly differentiated SS (PDSS), we examined 60 t(X;18)(SYT-SSX)-positive cases (47 MFSS and 13 PDSS) for cytokeratin AE1/AE3, cytokeratin KL1, epithelial membrane antigen, E-cadherin, CD34, S-100 protein, alpha-smooth muscle actin, desmin, h-caldesmon, CD99, bcl2, and C-kit (CD117) antibodies. Of the four epithelial markers tested, epithelial membrane antigen proved to be the most sensitive, reacting with 100% of MFSS and 92% of PDSS, followed by cytokeratin AE1/AE3 (70% of MFSS, 46% of PDSS), cytokeratin KL1 (49% of MFSS, 38% of PDSS), and E-cadherin (47% of MFSS, 54% of PDSS). A staining for cytokeratin AE1/AE3 and/or E-cadherin was observed in 79% of MFSS and 69% of PDSS, and a staining for cytokeratin KL1 and/or E-cadherin was observed in 74% of MFSS and 62% of PDSS. S-100 protein was positive in 38% of MFSS and 23% of PDSS, and alpha-smooth muscle actin in 21% of MFSS and 8% of PDSS. Tumor cells were rarely positive for CD34 (6% of MFSS, 0% of PDSS) and desmin (2% of MFSS, 0% of PDSS). Most SS were strongly positive for bcl-2 (91% of MFSS, 92% of PDSS) and CD99 (91% of MFSS, 100% of PDSS). A weak and focal cytoplasmic reactivity for CD117 was observed in 11% of MFSS (only one case had a strong immunoreactivity) and 8% of PDSS. Staining with h-caldesmon was consistently negative. In conclusion, in keeping with literature data, our results show that reactivity for epithelial membrane antigen, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, and E-cadherin, in combination with CD34 negativity, are the most useful and sensitive markers for diagnosing monophasic fibrous and poorly differentiated t(X;18)-positive SS. They also support the fact that about one third of MFSS and one fourth of PDSS are positive for S-100 protein, a finding of diagnostic relevance when considering their distinction from other spindle to round cell sarcomas, especially malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors.

Abstract
To verify the absence of the synovial sarcoma translocation t(X;18) (SYT-SSX) in malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors, 34 tumor samples from 25 neurofibromatosis type 1 patients were examined in two independent laboratories (Bordeaux, France, and Lausanne, Switzerland) using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)-based techniques. RNA was extracted from paraffin blocks using standard methods, reverse transcribed, and conventional (in one laboratory) versus real-time (in the other laboratory) PCR performed. Twenty-seven tumor samples from 19 patients were negative for the t(X;18) in both laboratories; six additional tumors that were t(X;18)-negative in one laboratory gave noninterpretable results in the other, due to lack of internal positive controls; one case was noninterpretable in both places. In conclusion, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors in neurofibromatosis type 1 patients do not bear the synovial sarcoma t(X;18) (SYT-SSX). Laboratories that use PCR-based techniques for diagnostic purposes would benefit from quality assurance programs.

Abstract
The t(X;18) translocation is known to be a useful marker for the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma. In this study, the authors describe a new real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to detect SYT/SSX fusion transcripts using paraffin-embedded and frozen tumor specimens. A series of 38 soft tissue sarcomas were analyzed. Diagnosis was based on clinical, histologic, and immunohistochemical examination. The fusion transcripts were detected in 16 of 17 synovial sarcoma samples (the 17th sample was not suitable for molecular analysis). No t(X;18)-fusion transcript was PCR-amplified in the 21 nonsynovial sarcoma mesenchymal tumors. Therefore, real-time PCR amplification appears to be a powerful, rapid, specific, and sensitive technique that can be used routinely to diagnose the synovial sarcoma t(X;18) translocation. In addition, the t(X;18) can be detected not only on frozen but also on paraffin-embedded tumor samples.
