Abstract excerpt
Loss of SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression is considered useful for confirming a histologic diagnosis of malignant rhabdoid tumor. However, loss of SMARCB1/INI1 protein expression has recently been reported in other tumors as well, including a few cases of epithelioid sarcoma. In addition, the histopathologic differences between proximal-type epithelioid sarcoma and malignant rhabdoid tumor have not been...
