BCOR-rearranged sarcoma is a rare mesenchymal tumor and a recognized subtype of undifferentiated small round-cell sarcoma. It shares morphological similarities with other round-cell sarcomas but is distinguished by a unique molecular hallmark that differentiates it from Ewing sarcoma. These tumors primarily arise in bones and soft tissues. This case report details the case of an 11-year-old female who developed swelling on the medial aspect of her right distal thigh. There was no history of trauma, surgery, or fracture. Clinically, the presentation initially suggested osteosarcoma. However, histopathological evaluation confirmed a diagnosis of BCOR-rearranged sarcoma. This case highlights the importance of considering BCOR-rearranged sarcoma in the differential diagnosis of pediatric bone and soft tissue tumors, as its clinical and radiological features can mimic more common malignancies like osteosarcoma. Early recognition and accurate molecular diagnosis are crucial for guiding appropriate treatment.
BCOR重排肉瘤是一种罕见的间叶性肿瘤,是未分化小圆形细胞肉瘤的一个公认亚型。它与其他圆形细胞肉瘤在形态上有相似之处,但具有独特的分子特征,使其与尤因肉瘤区分开来。这些肿瘤主要发生于骨骼和软组织。本病例报告详细介绍了一名11岁女性的病例,她右大腿远端内侧出现肿胀。无外伤、手术或骨折史。临床上,最初的表现提示骨肉瘤。然而,组织病理学评估确诊为BCOR重排肉瘤。该病例强调了在小儿骨和软组织肿瘤的鉴别诊断中考虑BCOR重排肉瘤的重要性,因为其临床和放射学特征可模仿骨肉瘤等更常见的恶性肿瘤。早期识别和准确的分子诊断对于指导恰当治疗至关重要。
