CD10 diffusely positive
CD10 diffusely positive
  1. What's your morphological impression at this point?

    A: Nodular fasciitis

    B: Atypical fibroxanthoma

    C: Low grade fibromyxoid neoplasm

    D: Low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma

    E: Myxoma

    F: Solitary fibrous tumor

    G: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor

    H: Angiofibroma of soft tissue

    I: Myxoid diffuse neurofibroma

Answer

  1. An extended IHC panel showed the tumors are positive for CD10 only,

while negative for CD34, STAT6, SOX10, S100, MUC4, SMA, myogenin,

beta catenin (nuclear staining), p63, and pankeratin. RB1 is retained. The

tumor cells are focal and weakly positive for ER and desmin.

What's the diagnosis?

 A: Nodular fasciitis

 B: Atypical fibroxanthoma

 C: Low grade fibromyxoid neoplasm

 D: Low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma

 E: Myxoma

 F: Solitary fibrous tumor

 G: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor

 H: Angiofibroma of soft tissue

 I: Myxoid diffuse neurofibroma

Answer

  1. Case was sent to sarcoma fusion panel and NBPF10::PHF1 fusion was detected. What are the tumors associated with this fusion?

    A: Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor

    B: Superficial acral fibromyxoma

    C: Chondromyxoid fibroma

    D: Intramuscular myxoma
