摘要
STAT6 is usually considered to be a very sensitive and specific immunomarker for diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT), being a surrogate of the NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene identified in most cases of this tumor. STAT6 expression has also been reported in rare cases of other soft tissue tumors, such as low-grade fibromyxoid sar -coma, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma and deep fibrous histiocytoma. The aim of this study was to report, for the first time, a case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma showing diffuse aberrant immunohistochemical expression of STAT6. Molecular biology, showing the HEY1-NCOA2 fusion gene, was crucial to rule out SFT.
