Case of mesenchymal tumor with the PPP6R3‐USP6 fusion, possible nodular fasciitis with malignant transformation

Abstract excerpt

Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a self-limiting benign disease that is characterized by rapid proliferation of fibroblastic and myofibroblastic cells. The characteristic gene fusion containing the USP6 gene is a genetic hallmark of NF and MYH9-USP6 is the most frequent fusion, suggesting that NF is not a reactive condition but a neoplastic disease. Malignant transformation of NF has been reported rarely as a single...
