| LM | small round blue cell tumour with focal cytoplasmic clearing +/-zonal necrosis |
| LM DDx | Ewing sarcoma, other Ewing-like tumours, DSRCT, other small round cell tumours |
| IHC | WT-1 +ve, CD99 +ve/-ve (not strong membranous), ERG +ve, FLI-1 +ve |
| Molecular | CIC rearrangement, e.g. t(4;19)(q35;q13.1) present; EWSR1 abnormality absent |
| Site | soft tissue |

Sarcoma with CIC-rearrangement is a rare soft tissue tumour.[1]
It was previously known as undifferentiated small blue round cell sarcoma with t(4;19)[2] and CIC-DUX sarcoma (CIC-DUX is pronounced "six ducks").[3]
General
- Rare.
- Young - typically 20s.
- Female>male.
- Aggressive course.
Microscopic
Features:
- Small round cell tumour.
- Patchy cytoplasmic clearing.
- Necrosis.
- Irregular spacing of cells.
- +/-Big nucleoli.
CIC-DUX rearranged sarcoma in the CNS (WC/jensflorian)
DDx:
- Ewing sarcoma - has regular spacing of nuclei.
- Other Ewing-like tumours.
- Desmoplastic small round cell tumour.
- Other small round cell tumours.
Images
- CIC-DUX sarcoma - 1 (nature.com).[4]
- CIC-DUX sarcoma - 2 (nature.com).[4]
- Sarcoma with t(4;19) (nih.gov).[5]
IHC
- CD99 +ve patchy.
- Not strong and membranous; Ewing sarcoma is diffuse.
- WT-1 +ve.
- S-100 -ve.
- Desmin -ve.
- Myogenin -ve.
- ERG +ve.
- FLI-1 +ve.
Molecular
- Rearrangement of CIC gene, e.g. t(4;19)(q35;q13.1); CIC-DUX4 fusion.[6]
- EWSR1 FISH negative.
