CIC-Rearranged Sarcoma.

CIC-rearranged sarcoma is a rare type of small round cell sarcoma. The tumors often affect the deep soft tissues of patients in a wide age range. They are highly aggressive, respond poorly to chemotherapy, and have a worse outcome than Ewing sarcoma. CIC-rearranged sarcoma has characteristic and recognizable histology, including lobulated growth, focal myxoid changes, round to epithelioid cells, and minimal variation of nuclear size and shape. Nuclear ETV4 and WT1 expression are useful immunohistochemical findings. CIC fusion can be demonstrated using various methods; however, even next-generation sequencing suffers from imperfect sensitivity, especially for CIC::DUX4.
