Sarcoma with CIC-rearrangement
Diagnosis in short

Synonyms CIC-DUX sarcoma

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 t(4;19)(q35;q13.1) present, EWSR1 abnormality absent
Site soft tissue

Prevalence very rare
Prognosis poor
Clin. DDx other soft tissue tumours
Treatment wide excision (?)

Undifferentiated small blue round cell sarcoma with t(4;19), is a rare malignant small round cell tumour.[1]

It is also known as CIC-DUX sarcoma. CIC-DUX is pronounced "six ducks".

General
