Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma (SEF) is an aggressive neoplasm thought to be related to low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, which typically occurs in middle-aged adults in the deep soft tissues of the lower extremities and trunk. It comprises nests and cords of relatively uniform epithelioid polygonal cells with clear or eosinophilic cytoplasm in densely sclerotic stroma, and it is typically associated with EWSR1 gene rearrangements, and most commonly EWSR1-CREB3L1 fusions. As primary SEF can arise in bone, and bone is also a common metastatic site for SEF, its recognition at this site is important. We illustrate bone marrow showing diffuse infiltration by SEF and highlight the potential for confusion with a range of neoplasms such as carcinoma, hematolymphoid neoplasms, and other sarcomas.
硬化性上皮样纤维肉瘤(SEF)是一种侵袭性肿瘤,被认为与低度纤维黏液样肉瘤有关,通常发生于中年成年人下肢和躯干的深部软组织。它由相对一致的上皮样多边形细胞巢和索组成,细胞质透明或嗜酸性,位于致密硬化的间质中,通常与EWSR1基因重排有关,最常见的是EWSR1-CREB3L1融合。由于原发性SEF可发生于骨,且骨也是SEF常见的转移部位,因此在该部位识别它很重要。我们展示了骨髓中SEF的弥漫性浸润,并强调了与一系列肿瘤如癌、血液淋巴系统肿瘤和其他肉瘤混淆的可能性。
