To date, genetic characterization of this tumor is limited. Prompt...

This is a microcystic/reticular schwannoma. They have NONO::TFE3 fusions. Karen Fritchie (CCF) wrote up a nice series. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37468653/

TFE3

Why “not quite right”? It’s got thick, hyalinized vessels and some compact area with palisading. The cells have gorgeous processes, creating a strikingly “reticular” appearance. And it is TFE3-positive.

S100

#PathSky Perianal mass, 38F. Well-circumscribed, modulated, myxoid. Diffusely S100-positive. Nerve sheath myxoma? Not quite right.

#PathSky Slowly growing superficial leg mass, 38M. Well-circumscribed, phleboliths, thrombosed vessels, cellular spindle cell areas, cavernous vascular channels. Dx?

CD34

WT1

Desmin

By IHC it is diffusely CD34-pos, shows strong nuclear WT1, and contains scattered desmin-pos cells. This is a superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor. Very low grade tumor, often with PRDM10 fusions. Jody Carter, now in Edmonton, wrote this paper. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887307/
