Expanding the spectrum of mesenchymal neoplasms with NR1D1-rearrangement.

ABSTRACT: Undifferentiated mesenchymal neoplasms can be morphologically subclassified based on cell shape; epithelioid tumors may be diagnostically challenging, particularly since they can show morphologic and immunohistochemical overlap with epithelial neoplasms. Following the recent report of an NR1D1::MAML1 gene fusion in an undifferentiated pediatric neoplasm, we performed a retrospective archival review and identified four additional cases of undifferentiated mesenchymal neoplasms with NR1D1-rearrangement. All four tumors occurred in adult women. The tumors involved superficial and/or deep soft tissues of the extremities or abdomen. Morphologically, they showed a spectrum of overlapping features. In addition to epithelioid cells, two cases also had a prominent spindle cell component. Two cases
