METHODS: A total of 19 cases of nodular fasciitis examined between 2011 and 2022 at Motol University Hospital in Prague were included into this study. Next to the histopathological evaluation, all cases were assessed using immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Anchored multiplex RNA methods. Patient\'s main demographic characteristics and corresponding clinical data were also analysed.
RESULTS: This study presents one novel (KIF1A) and five rare examples (TMP4, SPARC, EIF5A, MIR22HG, COL1A2) of fusion partners with USP6 among 19 cases of nodular fasciitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Identification of USP6 fusion partners in nodular fasciitis helps to understand the biology of such lesions. Moreover, it can be useful in routine histopathological practice of soft-tissues diagnostics, especially in preventing possible misdiagnosis of malignancy.
方法:将2011年至2022年在布拉格Motol大学医院检查的19例结节性筋膜炎纳入本研究。
结果:这项研究提出了一个新的(KIF1A)和五个罕见的例子(TMP4,SPARC,
结论:确定结节性筋膜炎中的USP6融合伙伴有助于了解此类病变的生物学特性。
