  1. New Sarcoma Defined by BCOR-CCNB3 Fusion LailaMoharram, Hussam Haddad King Hussein Cancer Center

  2. Case History • 13 year old male • Left pelvic mass

  3. Pediatric Round cell Sarcomas • Rhabomyosarcoma • Ewing sarcoma/PNET • Neuroblastoma • Lymphoma/ leukemia • Small cell osteosarcoma • Mesenchymalchondrosarcoma • Sclerosing RMS • BRD/NUT carcinoma • Extrarenalrhabdoid tumor • Desmoplastic small round cell tumor • Undifferentiated sarcoma

  4. CD99 PAS

  5. Desmin Myogenin

  6. BAF47 BCL-2

  7. Immunostains Positive CD99 (Weak) BCL-2 CD56 Negative synaptophysin desmin, myogenin S100 protein CD31 EMA and CK-MNF FLI-1

  8. EWSR1 Fusion Partners • FLI1(85%) • ERG(5-10%) • FEV • ETV1 • E1Af EWSR1-ETS

  9. Working Diagnosis Small round blue cell tumor of the bone FISH is negative for EWSR1 rearrangement

  10. EWSR1 fusion negative Ewing sarcoma • Rare • FUS FISH • FUS-ERG or FUS-FEV

  11. Diagnosis? DX: Undifferentiated spindle and round cell sarcoma.

  12. Undifferentiated sarcoma • Fusion negative Ewing-like neoplasms • CD99: Positive, focal or negative. • Proportion of cases shows new fusion CIC-DUX4 • t(4;19) • t(10;19)

  13. Consultation CIC-DUX4 gene fusion negative The tumor instead showed BCOR-CCNB3fusion.

  14. Fusion-specific RT-PCR to screen a series of 594 sarcomas. • 24 BCOR-CCNB3–positive tumors were identified

  15. Gene profiling experiments indicated that BCOR-CCNB3–positive cases are biologically distinct from other sarcomas, particularly Ewing sarcoma.

  16. BCOR-CCNB3 Sarcoma • Clinical description is similar to Ewing Sarcoma. • Median age 13 years • Male predominance • Preferentially long bones, the spine and pelvis. • 20%: soft tissue tumor.

  17. Pathology • Undifferentiated, small round cell sarcoma, suggestive of the Ewing sarcoma. • Half lacked strong membrane positivity for CD99.

  18. BCOR and CCNB3 Genes • Both on the X chromosome • BCORencodes ubiquitous transcriptional repressor that associates with BCL6 oncoprotein • CCNB3expression is tightly restricted to thetestis, with CCNB3 encoding an early meiotic cyclin .

  19. Ectopic expression of CCNB3 as a result of the BCOR gene fusion may constitute a key oncogenic event.

  20. Undifferentiated/ unclassifed Sarcomas • Introduced a chapter on undifferentiated sarcomas. • No reproducible immunophenotype. • Patchy CD99 • CD34+-: No discriminatory value. • EM: No evidence of differentiation.

  21. Ewing or Ewing look-alike? Undifferentiated Sarcoma BCOR-CCNB3 sarcoma CIC-DUX4 sarcoma?
