RESUMO
We report the largest series to date (N = 6) of EWSR1-SMAD3 rearranged fibroblastic tumor. Initially described in 2018, the tumor features a marked female predominance (F:M, 5:1, mean age 44-years, median age 45.5 years; range 27-57), with most cases (5/6, 83%) arising in acral locations (4 on foot/toe, 1 on hand). One case presented on the lower extremity. The lesions presented as nodules and were composed of short, variably cellular, intersecting fascicles of uniform spindled cells in a collagenous to myxoid stroma. In four cases, the tumor abutted the epidermis without a grenz zone. In one case, there was an abrupt transition to a central, acellular hyalinized area. Two other cases had admixed smaller collagenous areas, reminiscent of collagen rosettes. One had a concentric arrangement of tumor cells around blood vessels. Mitotic activity was low (<1/10 HPFs). All were positive for ERG by immunohistochemistry and negative for CD34 (6/6). An EWSR1-SMAD3 fusion was identified in three cases tested by next-generation sequencing (3/3). Rearrangement of EWSR1 by fluorescence in situ hybridization was showed in 1/1 case. Our series reaffirms prior findings and expands the known histopathologic spectrum of this emerging entity.
