TLDR
A rare case of an older patient with a large, petrous apex AFH that was clinically mistaken for a trigeminal nerve schwannoma is presented, and gross total resection of this lesion is preferable.

Intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumors with EWSR1-CREB family gene fusions: myxoid variant of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma or novel entity?

TL;DR: Three pediatric patients with intracranial EWSR1‐rearranged myxoid mesenchymal neoplasm are presented and copy number and mutational changes presented here provide support for future studies to further clarify this issue.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial mesenchymal tumor with FET-CREB fusion - a unifying diagnosis for the spectrum of intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumors and angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma-like neoplasms.

TL;DR: In combination with prior case series, this study provides further insight into intracranial mesenchymal tumors with FET‐CREB fusion, which represent a distinct group of CNS tumors encompassing both intrac Cranial myxoid mesenchyal tumor and angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma‐like neoplasms.
Journal ArticleDOI

ESWR1-CREM Fusion in an Intracranial Myxoid Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma-Like Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review.

TL;DR: The vast morphological and immunohistochemical spectrum of angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma makes it difficult to dismiss this diagnosis of intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumor with EWSR1-CREB fusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma with EWSR1-CREB Family Fusions: A Report of 2 Pediatric Cases.

TL;DR: The results suggest that a tumor spectrum incorporating classical and myxoid intracranial AFHs can occur in children and that gross total resection represents the treatment strategy of choice at diagnosis or following recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intracranial Myxoid Mesenchymal Tumor with Rare EWSR1-CREM Translocation.

TL;DR: The present case provides another example of the rare EWSR1-CREM fusion in an intracranial myxoid mesenchymal tumor that recurred in just 6 months despite gross total resection.

Angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma. A distinct fibrohistiocytic tumor of children and young adults simulating a vascular neoplasm

TL;DR: Most likely it is a tumor of fibroblast‐ and histiocyte‐like cells, akin to malignant fibrous histiocytoma, but different in its age incidence, microscopic appearance, and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

EWSR1-CREB1 is the predominant gene fusion in angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma

TL;DR: The presence of EWSR1‐CREB1 is reported for the first time in AFH, which now appears to be the most frequent gene fusion in this tumor, unlike most other sarcoma gene fusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma. A follow-up study of 108 cases with evaluation of possible histologic predictors of outcome.

TL;DR: It is concluded that angiomatoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma is intrinsically a low-grade tumor, and assessment of various histologic parameters or grading provides little or no additional prognostic information.

EWSR1-CREB1 and EWSR1-ATF1 Fusion Genes in Angiomatoid Fibrous Histiocytoma

TL;DR: The presence of either EWSR1-CREB1 or EWSR 1-ATF1 in all the cases is identified, strengthening the concept of chromosomal promiscuity between AFH and clear cell sarcoma.

Primary intracerebral angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma: report of a case with a t(12;22)(q13;q12) causing type 1 fusion of the EWS and ATF-1 genes.

TL;DR: The first pathologically confirmed case of an AFH presenting as an intracerebral primary in a previously healthy 25-year-old man is reported, and genetic analyses revealed a t(12;22)(q13;q12) and a unique underlying clear cell sarcomalike type 1 EWS/ATF-1 gene fusion.
