Extra-uterine endometrial stromal sarcoma has a knack for mimicking synovial sarcoma. The staghorn vessels and overlapping nuclei always send me down the wrong path at first but the collagen saves the day! Yay - Phew.

Two fungal hyphae you might see in the lung are Aspergillus (green circle, more common) and Mucor (red circle, less conmon). Aspergillus has septa and branches at acute angles, Mucor has few or no septa and has more irregular shapes.
Not always easy to tell them apart!
New entities in soft tissue pathology
***FET-CREB fusion sarcomas***
Variable histology with epithelioid/round cells showing an odd combination of multiple aberrant markers (CK, EMA, MUC4, ALK, CD30, synapto , etc.) is valuable for screening FET-CREB sarcomas
Half of cases are intra-abdominal
Wide age range
Highly aggressive
Will be included in the upcoming BST WHO book
FET-CREB is an umbrella term for fusions between FET genes (mainly EWSR1, sometimes FUS) and CREB family transcription factors (CREB1, ATF1, or CREM)
Pitfall: Angiomatoid fibrohistiocytoma (AFH) and FET-CREB sarcomas have a similar genotype, but morphology differs and, most importantly, AFH mortality is >1% versus >50% in FET-CREB sarcomas

*Dogma-defying soft tissue tumors*
Not all EWSR1-WT1 fusion tumors are desmoplastic small round cell tumors (DSRCT)
There are unusual EWSR1-WT1 fusion-positive tumors with glomoid/myoid morphology, lacking desmoplasia, showing desmin/SMA positivity on IHC, and a favorable clinical prognosis.

This was a tricky diagnosis:
Intravenous leiomyomatosis is a benign yet odd intravascularly proliferative lesion characterized by worm-like growth through pelvic veins in the setting of a uterine leiomyoma.

Great insights from Prof. Dei Tos on the upcoming updates in the World Health Organization 2026 #sarcoma classification. Emerging entities are reshaping our understanding of soft tissue tumors, highlighting the growing impact of molecular pathology in diagnosis and treatment.
