Over the last decade, the development of next‐generation sequencing techniques has led to the molecular dismantlement of adult and pediatric sarcoma, with the identification of multiple gene fusions associated with specific subtypes and currently integrated into diagnostic classifications. In this report, we describe and discuss the identification of a novel EWSR1‐UBP1 gene fusion in an adult patient presenting with multi‐metastatic sarcoma. Extensive pathological, transcriptomic, and genomic characterization of this tumor in comparison with a cohort of different subtypes of pediatric and adult sarcoma revealed that this fusion represents a novel variant of spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma with features of TFCP2‐rearranged subfamily.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
