Ewing sarcoma (ES) is an undifferentiated round cell sarcoma arising in skeletal and extraskeletal locations usually diagnosed in the second decade of life. It is typically characterized by a monomorphic round blue cell morphology, positive membranous CD99 immunohistochemical staining, and gene fusion with a partner gene from the ETS family. Less frequently, other genes from the FET family of genes substitute for . We report a case of oligometastatic Ewing sarcoma with fusion with an unusual primary location in an older patient. This case highlights the application of ancillary tests, especially next generation sequencing, as an adjunct to the morphological assessment of undifferentiated round cell tumours. We also discuss potential diagnostic pitfalls and literature review of Ewing sarcomas with fusion.
尤因肉瘤(ES)是一种未分化的圆形细胞肉瘤,发生于骨骼和骨骼外部位,通常在生命的第二个十年被诊断出来。其典型特征为单形性圆形蓝细胞形态、CD99免疫组化染色呈膜阳性,以及与ETS家族的一个伙伴基因发生基因融合。较少见的情况下,FET家族的其他基因可替代。我们报告了一例寡转移性尤因肉瘤,其具有融合,且原发部位不寻常,发生于一名老年患者。该病例强调了辅助检查的应用,尤其是下一代测序,作为未分化圆形细胞肿瘤形态学评估的辅助手段。我们还讨论了潜在的诊断陷阱以及对具有融合的尤因肉瘤的文献综述。
