Uterine Inflammatory Myofibroblastic Tumors Frequently Harbor ALK Fusions With IGFBP5 and THBS1
7 Apr 2017
Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) can occur in a number of anatomic sites, including the uterus. Like its soft tissue counterpart, uterine IMT frequently expresses ALK and harbors ALK genetic rearrangements. The aim of this study is to fully characterize the genetic fusions that occur in uterine IMT. We studied 11 uterine IMTs with typical histology and 8 uterine myxoid smooth muscle tumors (5 leiomyomas,...
