BCOR-CCNB3 sarcoma arising in the proximal tibia: A case report.

ABSTRACT: BCL6 corepressor-cyclin B3 (BCOR-CCNB3) fusion sarcoma was classified as an emerging subgroup of undifferentiated small round cell sarcoma in 2020. The incidence of BCOR-CCNB3 fusion sarcoma is reportedly 1.5-14% among undifferentiated unclassified sarcomas, representing a rare entity among primary malignant bone tumors. The present study reports a case of BCOR-CCNB3 fusion sarcoma in the proximal tibia of a boy. A 12-year-old boy presented with a 6-month history of knee pain and a slowly growing mass in the anteromedial aspect of the left proximal tibia. Plain radiography and computed tomography of the knee demonstrated a lytic lesion with cortical destruction of the proximal tibia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the bone tumor expanding into soft tissue with almos
