Abstract:
Sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma is a recently described, rare mesenchymal neoplasm. We report a case of sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma that occurred in the lower leg of a 48-year-old man. The karyotype of the tumor exhibited der(1)t(1;10)(p31;p11), der(10)t(10;17)(p11;q11), and der(17) t(11;17)(?;q11). Rearrangement of 10p11 was also found in one previous reported case of this uncommon tumor.

The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...
