“…CD99 (MIC2 gene product, recognized by the monoclonal antibody O13) is a surface glycoprotein in normal thymic T lymphocytes and an extremely sensitive marker for Ewing sarcoma; however, its expression is also observed in neuroendocrine carcinoma, lymphoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. [4][5][6] A member of the ETS family and a marker of endothelial differentiation, FLI-1 appears less sensitive for Ewing sarcoma than CD99 and is also expressed in various other round cell tumors including neuroblastoma, lymphoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, desmoplastic small round cell tumor, Merkel cell carcinoma, and small cell carcinoma. 7 NKX2-2, a homeodomain-containing transcription factor involved in neuronal development and glial/neuroendocrine differentiation, 8,9 is a downstream target of EWSR1-FLI1 oncogenic signaling in Ewing sarcoma.…”
