    Nodular fasciitis associated with atypical clinicopathological features: a review of the USP6 fusion gene partner
    Author(s): Kazumi Fujioka*

    USP6 gene rearrangement has been identified in the most of Nodular Fasciitis (NF) cases. Though the detection of several USP6 fusion partners has been identified, most of nodular fasciitis cases have exhibited the presence of MYH9- USP6 gene fusion. Recently, a literature review of rare intradermal nodular fasciitis focusing on the genetic analysis has been provided, suggesting that the detection of USP6 gene rearrangement may be the very useful and important genetic analysis for accurate diagnosis in even intradermal nodular fasciitis. The result provided MYH9, EIF5A and TPM4 as a fusion partner with USP6 in rare intradermal nodular fasciitis. In this review, the author summarized the rare nodular fasciitis accompanied by atypical clinicopathological findings including recurrence and/or metastasis, malignant morphology, atypical m..
