A Low Grade Nasopharyngeal sarcoma With FUS::NACC1 Fusion and Immunohistochemical Evidence of Epithelial Differentiation: Expanding the Clinicopathologic Spectrum of an Emerging Entity

ConclusionThese findings confirm the previously-reported recurrent storiform histology in sarcomas withEWSR1/FUS::NACC1 fusion while simultaneously expanding the immunohistochemical spectrum of this entity to include overt epithelial differentiation. With involvement of a head and neck mucosal site, these findings also expand the differential diagnosis to include multiple mesenchymal entities including spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma. Further recognition of this emerging entity via expanded RNA sequencing panels will be necessary to determine the prevalence of these unique features.
