Genetic analysis
- Translocations involving fus t(7;16) seen in >90% and rarely t(11;16)
- These translocations are also identified in sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma suggesting a relationship
- Not present in other fibrous or myxoid neoplasms
- These translocations are also identified in sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma suggesting a relationship
