Uterine tumor resembling ovarian sex cord tumor (UTROSCT) is a rare uterine neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman who underwent hysterectomy for postmenopausal bleeding and was found to have a myometrial UTROSCT. RNA-sequencing identified a somatic fusion, supporting the diagnosis. Next-generation sequencing is increasingly being adopted in diagnostic pathology laboratories. This report highlights the value of RNA-sequencing in identifying rare fusion events to support pathologic diagnoses.
子宫肿瘤样卵巢性索肿瘤（UTROSCT）是一种恶性潜能不确定的罕见子宫肿瘤。我们报告一例69岁女性，因绝经后出血接受子宫切除术，术中发现子宫肌层有UTROSCT。RNA测序鉴定出一种体细胞融合，支持该诊断。诊断病理实验室越来越多地采用下一代测序技术。本报告强调了RNA测序在识别罕见融合事件以支持病理诊断方面的价值。
