Core Tip |
Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma (AFH) is a rare neoplasm of soft tissues with an atypical location and a large morphological spectrum, and is considered a lesion with diagnostic difficulties. Auxiliary diagnostic tests in the field of molecular genetics are also important. The EWS RNA-binding protein 1-CREB-binding protein 1 t(2;22)(q33;q12) fusion assay is an extremely important diagnostic element that should be routinely performed in patients with AFH. In the case of gene translocations, we are obliged to increase the frequency of follow-up examinations. However, owing to the small number of clinical cases, it is difficult to predict the course of the disease and assess patient prognosis. |
