undergo – More atypia histologic progression – Fibrous areas • Higher grade tumors show – More solid areas of tumor different histologic features from proliferation classic (grade 1) – More mitotic activity myxofibrosarcoma – Necrosis Myxofibrosarcoma • Immunophenotype: no consistent pattern • Cytogenetics: no consistent abnormality • Behavior: – Frequent recurrence (20-70%) – Recurrences frequently undergo histologic progression – Metastatic risk low for grade 1 tumors (<10%) – Metastatic risk increases in higher grade tumors (20-40%) Epithelioid Myxofibrosarcoma • Clinical

CREB3L2: member of OASIS B-ZIP family of transcription factors AJSP 2005) – Superficial tumors relatively common in children (~40% of superficial tumors) Histologic features Immunohistochemistry/FISH More a tool of exclusion • FISH: FUS rearranged 70-90% – Vimentin + – Actins +/- – EMA -/+ (30%) – S100 -/+ – CD34 – (rare focal positivity) – Desmin – • Exception: MUC-4 positive >90% LGFMS vs. Perineurioma • 21 patients recurrences after intervals up to 15 years (median • LGFMS • Perineurioma 3.5 yrs) – Swirling growth pattern – Swirling growth pattern – Fibrous and myxoid (often abrupt) – Fibrous and myxoid (not usually • 15 with metastasis after periods up to 45 years (median 5 yrs) – Slight atypia abrupt) • Still aggressive – EMA+ ~30% – No atypia • Patients need lifelong follow-up –

• Pushing border • Infiltrative • Myxoid/collagenous • Purely myxoid (grade1) • Less atypia • More atypia • Rosettes sometimes • Rosettes absent • MUC4+ • MUC4- • t(7;16) • No consistent cytogenetics Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) OFMT • Clinical features • Microscopic features – Adult patients, M>F – Vasculature often prominent – Extremities – My have hyalinized blood vessels – Arises in subcutis or deep soft tissue • Immunophenotype • Microscopic features – S100 protein positive in 70-80% of cases – Circumscribed – Focal desmin positivity in ~20% – Peripheral shell of bone in up to 80% of cases – Usually negative for cytokeratins – Uniform round to spindled cells – Sometimes focal MUC4+ – Arranged in cords, nests or sheets • Cytogenetics – Fibrous to myxoid stroma –
