Myoepithelial Tumors of Bone.
Surgical Pathology Clinics 2017 September
Myoepithelial tumors (METs) of bone (BMETs) are a rare but distinct tumor entity. METs that are cytologically benign are termed myoepitheliomas; METs with malignant histologic features are called myoepithelial carcinomas. BMETs have a wide age range, may involve any part of the skeleton, and have a variable spindle cell and epithelioid morphology. Bone tumors to be considered in the differential diagnosis are discussed. Additional techniques are indispensable to correctly diagnose BMETs. By immunohistochemistry, BMETs often express cytokeratins and/or EMA together with S100, GFAP, or calponin. Half of BMETs harbor EWSR1 (or rare FUS) gene rearrangements with different gene partners.
