NTRK1-KHDRBS1 fusion

This case will be of significant interest to pathologists because, despite the tumor being unclassified, a molecular target was identified. Although the FDA does not currently approve crizotinib for treatment of patients harboring NTRK gene fusions, this case provides new insights for diagnosis and treatment of mesenchymal sarcomas with NTRK1 gene translocations. Similar to ALKomas, which can be successfully treated using NTRK molecular-targeted therapy, tumors with NTRK gene translocations can be classified as NTRKomas, even when they occur at different organ sites, and with varying histological morphologies, and immunophenotypes.
