Sarcoma with CIC-rearrangement is a rare soft tissue tumour.[1]

Sarcoma with CIC-rearrangement
Diagnosis in short

LM small round blue cell tumour with focal cytoplasmic clearing +/-zonal necrosis
LM DDx Ewing sarcoma, other Ewing-like tumours, DSRCT, other small round cell tumours
IHC WT-1 +ve, CD99 +ve/-ve (not strong membranous), ERG +ve, FLI-1 +ve
Molecular CIC rearrangement, e.g. t(4;19)(q35;q13.1) present; EWSR1 abnormality absent
Site soft tissue

Clinical history young (usually 20s), typically female
Prevalence very rare
Prognosis poor
Clin. DDx other soft tissue tumours
Treatment wide excision (?)

It was previously known as undifferentiated small blue round cell sarcoma with t(4;19)[2] and CIC-DUX sarcoma (CIC-DUX is pronounced "six ducks").[3]

IHC

  • CD99 +ve patchy.
  • WT-1 +ve.
  • S-100 -ve.
  • Desmin -ve.
  • Myogenin -ve.
  • ERG +ve.
  • FLI-1 +ve.
  • EMA -ve/+ve.[6]

Molecular

  • Rearrangement of CIC gene, e.g. t(4;19)(q35;q13.1); CIC-DUX4 fusion.[7]
  • EWSR1 FISH negative.
