<i>USP6</i> gene rearrangement in nodular fasciitis and histological mimics

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Nodular fasciitis is known to be a benign mimic of sarcoma, both clinically and histologically. Accurate diagnosis, particularly on small biopsies, remains a challenge, as the morphology can be varied and the immunophenotype is essentially non-specific. Recently, rearrangement of the ubiquitin-specific protease 6 (USP6) gene has been reported as a recurrent and specific finding in nodular fasciitis. The aim...
