Overall, neonatal cancer is uncommon. Because of its rarity and heterogeneity, diagnosis can be challenging. We report a unique case of a myoepithelial carcinoma in a 7 week old girl. Molecular diagnostic workup revealed a gene fusion which was previously described in only six cases of myoepithelial tumors so far. All cases occurred in children and adolescents. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a congenital fusion positive myoepithelial tumor in an infant.
总体而言,新生儿癌症较为罕见。由于其罕见性和异质性,诊断可能具有挑战性。我们报告了一例 7 周大女婴的肌上皮癌独特病例。分子诊断工作显示存在 基因融合,迄今为止仅在六例肌上皮肿瘤中描述过这种融合。所有病例均发生在儿童和青少年中。据我们所知,这是首例婴儿先天性 融合阳性肌上皮肿瘤的报告。
