Clinical, pathologic, and molecular spectrum of tumors associated with t(11;22)(p13;q12): desmoplastic small round-cell tumor and its variants.

Abstract

This large review identifies a greater degree of clinical, pathologic, and molecular variation than originally appreciated for tumors associated with t(11;22)(p13;q12). Translocation and functional fusion of the EWS and WT1 genes appears to be a consistent feature of this unique tumor.
