Abstract:
In last few decades our understanding of bone and soft tissue tumors has evolved significantly, expanding and clarifying our current classification system. Due largely to increased utilization of ancillary testing, particularly molecular tools, new entities are continually emerging and/or being further refined. In addition to morphological and molecular differences, in many instances, the recognition of a new entity carries significant prognostic and potentially therapeutic relevance. In this review on practice updates, we endeavor to discuss five recently described tumors including pseudoendocrine sarcoma, NUT-rearranged sarcoma, VGLL3-rearranged spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma of head and neck, superficial neurocristic FET::ETS fusion tumors, and NFATC1/2-rearranged epithelioid vascular tumors.

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...
