Abstract

Rhabdomyosarcoma with TFCP2 rearrangement is a recently identified malignant neoplasm characterized by immunohistochemical evidence of rhabdomyoblastic differentiation, keratin expression, upregulation of ALK, and an aggressive clinical course. This neoplasm has a tendency to affect craniofacial bones, with only a few reported cases of extra‐osseous tumors. Here, we present a case of cutaneous rhabdomyosarcoma with FUS::TFCP2 fusion in a 35‐year‐old female. Notably, the tumor exhibited a pathologic spectrum, initially resembling sclerosing dermatitis at presentation but progressing into a high‐grade malignant tumor within 8 months. The distinctive immunoprofile of this neoplasm highlights the importance of early molecular studies for diagnosis, even in the presence of low‐grade cytomorphology. Early detection may offer an opportunity for timely resection before the tumor becomes unresectable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
