Recurrent YAP1::MAML2 fusions in "nodular necrotizing" variants of myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma: a comprehensive study of 7 cases

YAP1::MAML2 Fusion Positive Epithelioid Soft Tissue Neoplasms: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

In the recent literature soft tissue neoplasms which harbor a recurrent YAP1::MAML2 fusion and have an epithelioid morphology with resemblance to myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) have been reported. In a recent series these tumors had a nodular appearance and central necrosis and were termed nodular necrotizing variants of MIFS. But their exact relationship to MIFS and their biological behavior seem to be unclear. We report a YAP1::MAML2 fusion positive nodular and necrotizing tumor with a MIFS-like morphology and provide a review of the literature.

A Clinicopathologic and Molecular Reappraisal of Myxoinflammatory Fibroblastic Sarcoma-A Controversial and Pathologically Challenging Low-Grade Sarcoma

PURPOSE

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare, low-grade sarcoma affecting with predilection the acral soft tissues of middle-aged adults. Clinically, MIFS is associated with a high rate of local recurrence but infrequent distant metastases. The diagnosis remains challenging due to their wide histologic spectrum and overlap with reactive, benign, and low-grade malignant lesions. Moreover, a significant limitation is that molecular confirmation is achieved in only a subset of cases, due to its broad range of genetic alterations which requires a multiplatform approach. Thus, a definitive diagnosis, especially at nonacral sites and in molecularly negative cases, remains uncertain. Our goal was to perform a detailed clinicopathologic and molecular reappraisal of MIFS managed at a single tertiary cancer center with dedicated orthopedic oncology expertise. Additionally, we examined potential outcomes correlating with specific genetic alterations.

PATIENTS AND METHODS

A cohort of 33 patients (12 males, 21 females, median age 52 years) was selected. Tumors were tested by FISH, Archer, and/or targeted NGS.

RESULTS

VGLL3 amplification was detected in 84%, BRAF fusions in 33% and combined TGFBR3/MGEA5 rearrangements in 32% of cases. Two novel fusions were detected, RRAGB::CCNB3 and FGFR1::ZBTB47. Other events included a YAP1::MAML2 fusion in two cases, one co-existing with a BRAF fusion. Overall, 8 (24%) patients recurred, 4 more than once, while 4 (12%) patients developed metastasis (3 locoregional, 1 pulmonary), all associated with VGLL3 gene amplification.

CONCLUSION

Positive margin status was associated with increased recurrence and reduced disease-free survival (DFS, p = 0.02). Moreover, it emphasizes the impact of multiplatform molecular testing in confirming the diagnosis. The lack of both local recurrence and metastatic potential outside VGLL3 amplifications requires further investigation.

Superficial Neurocristic EWSR1::FLI1 Fusion Tumor: A Distinctive, Clinically Indolent, S100 Protein/SOX10-Positive Neoplasm

It is now understood that identical gene fusions may be shared by different entities. We report a distinctive neoplasm of the skin and subcutis, harboring the Ewing sarcoma-associated EWSR1::FLI1 fusion but differing otherwise from Ewing sarcoma. Slides and blocks for 5 cutaneous neoplasms coded as other than Ewing sarcoma and harboring EWSR1::FLI1 were retrieved. Immunohistochemical and molecular genetic results were abstracted from reports. Methylation profiling was performed. Clinical information was obtained. The tumors occurred in 4 men and 1 woman (median: 25 years of age; range: 19-69 years) and involved the skin/subcutis of the back (2), thigh, buttock, and chest wall (median: 2.4 cm; range: 1-11 cm). Two tumors were present "years" before coming to clinical attention. The lesions were multinodular and circumscribed and consisted of nests of bland, round cells admixed with hyalinized collagenous bands containing spindled cells. Hemorrhage and cystic change were often present; necrosis was absent. All were diffusely S100 protein/SOX10-positive; 4 of 5 were CD99-negative. One tested case was strongly positive for NKX2.2. A variety of other tested markers were either focally positive (glial fibrillary acidic protein, p63) or negative. Molecular genetic results were as follows: EWSR1 exon 7::FLI1 exon 8, EWSR1 exon 11::FLI1 exon 5, EWSR1 exon 11::FLI1 exon 6, EWSR1 exon 7::FLI1 exon 6, and EWSR1 exon 10::FLI1 exon 6. Methylation profiling (3 cases) showed these to form a unique cluster, distinct from Ewing sarcoma. All patients underwent excision with negative margins; one received 1 cycle of chemotherapy. Clinical follow-up showed all patients to be alive without disease (median: 17 months; range: 11-62 months). Despite similar gene fusions, the morphologic, immunohistochemical, epigenetic, and clinical features of these unique EWSR1::FLI1-fused neoplasms of the skin and subcutis differ substantially from Ewing sarcoma. Interestingly, EWSR1 rearrangements involved exons 10 or 11, only rarely seen in Ewing sarcoma, in a majority of cases. Superficial neurocristic EWSR1::FLI1 fusion tumors should be rigorously distinguished from true cutaneous Ewing sarcomas.

Novel dual gene fusions identified in a late pulmonary metastasis of an infantile fibrosarcoma-like tumor

The list of potential gene fusions involving sarcomas, and particularly infantile fibrosarcoma-like tumors, continues to expand. The receptor tyrosine kinases are dysregulated in several tumor types, underscoring their roles in neoplasia. In this case presentation, we describe a pulmonary metastasis with two novel gene fusions (FKBP5::PRKCA and in-frame SEPT7::RAF1) occurring at least two decades after the primary tumor developed.

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma of the liver: Case report and literature review

RATIONALE

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is a rare low-grade malignant soft tissue sarcoma that primarily affects the distal extremities in adults, with the highest incidence in patients in their 40s and 50s. It has a high local recurrence rate and a low metastasis rate. Although MIFSs have been documented in other sites, an MIFS in the liver is highly unusual. Herein, we present a case of a patient with hepatic MIFS.

PATIENT CONCERNS

The patient was a 58-year-old Chinese man with abdominal pain as the primary symptom. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right posterior lobe of the liver. The patient underwent surgical excision, and the excised specimen was identified as MIFS. Three years later, the patient returned to our hospital for abdominal pain. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in liver segments 2/3/4.

DIAGNOSIS

Postoperative pathological examination of the tumor revealed the recurrence of MIFS.

INTERVENTIONS

The patient underwent surgical resection of the MIFS.

OUTCOMES

The patient received multiple pirarubicin-based chemotherapy treatments and an ALK inhibitor (anlotinib) within 6 months after surgery, but the tumor recurred.

LESSONS

MIFS can not only occur in the proximal limbs, trunk, head, and neck but can also affect the abdominal organs. Surgical resection remains the primary treatment option for MIFS in the absence of any contraindications. Because the recurrence rate of MIFS is high, meticulous long-term monitoring is required.

Back to the future! Selected bone and soft tissue neoplasms with shared genetic alterations but differing morphological and immunohistochemical phenotypes

Bone and soft tissue tumors (BST) are a highly heterogeneous group largely classified by their line of differentiation, based on their resemblance to their normal counterpart in adult tissue. Yet, rendering a specific diagnosis can be challenging, primarily due to their rarity and overlapping histopathologic features or clinical presentations. Over the past few decades, seemingly histogenetic-specific gene fusions/translocations and amplifications have been discovered, aiding in a more nuanced classification, leading to well-established objective diagnostic criteria and the development of specific surrogate ancillary tests targeting these genetic aberrations (e.g., immunohistochemistry). Ironically, the same research also has revealed that some specific tumor subtypes may be the result of differing and often multiple gene fusions/translocations, but, more interestingly, identical gene fusions may be present in more than one phenotypically and biologically distinct neoplasm, sometimes with entirely different clinical behavior. Prime examples include, EWSR1::ATF1 and, less commonly, EWSR1::CREB1 gene fusions present in both clear cell sarcoma, a malignant high-grade tumor with melanocytic differentiation, and angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma, a mesenchymal neoplasm of intermediate malignancy with a generally indolent course. Similarly, MDM2 amplification, once deemed to be pathognomonic for atypical lipomatous tumor/well differentiated and dedifferentiated liposarcoma, has been documented in a range of additional distinct tumors, including low grade osteosarcomas (e.g. low grade central and surface parosteal) and high-grade intimal sarcomas, amongst others. Such findings reinforce the importance of careful attention to morphological and clinicoradiological features and correlation with molecular testing before rendering a specific diagnosis. Future classification systems in BST neoplasms cannot be solely based on molecular events and ideally will balance morphologic features with molecular analysis. Herein, we provide a narrative literature review of the more common BST neoplasms with shared genetic events but differing demographics, morphology, immunophenotype, and clinical behavior, re-emphasizing the importance of the hematoxylin and eosin slide and the "eye" of the practicing pathologist.

Vascular tumors of intermediate malignancy: An update

The term "hemangioendothelioma" is used for endothelial neoplasms of intermediate malignancy and describes a group of rare neoplasms having biologic behavior falling in between that of the benign hemangiomas and fully malignant angiosarcomas. The hemangioendotheliomas fall into several specific, clinicopathologically and genetically distinct entities, specifically epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, papillary intralymphatic angioendothelioma and retiform hemangioendothelioma (hobnailed hemangioendothelioma), pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma, composite hemangioendothelioma, and YAP1::TFE3-fused hemangioendothelioma. The clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features, and the differential diagnosis of each of these rare entities are discussed in this review.

Superficial CD34-Positive Fibroblastic Tumor

Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor is a mesenchymal neoplasm of "intermediate malignancy" recently included in the fifth edition of the World Health Organization classification of soft tissue and bone tumors. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on this rare entity with a special focus on its clinicopathological features, morphologic spectrum, and differential diagnosis. We also provide data regarding recent discoveries on its molecular profile and discuss its prognosis and management.

Myxoinflammatory Fibroblastic Sarcoma

MIFS is a low-grade fibroblastic sarcoma that predilects to superficial distal extremity soft tissue. It is composed of plump spindled and epithelioid cells, inflammatory infiltrates, and mucin deposits in a fibrosclerotic stroma. Large epithelioid cells harboring bizarre nuclei and virocyte-like macronucleoli and pleomorphic pseudolipoblasts are characteristic. While conventional MIFS has locally recurrent potential but minimal metastatic risk, tumors with high-grade histologic features have a greater risk for recurrence and metastasis. Wide local excision is the recommended treatment.

Recent Advances in the Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Management of Myxoinflammatory Fibroblastic Sarcoma

Myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS) is an infiltrative, locally aggressive fibroblastic neoplasm of intermediate malignancy that typically arises in the distal extremities of middle-aged adults. It can histologically be confused with a number of benign and malignant conditions. Recently, high-grade examples of MIFS have been described. Immunohistochemistry plays a very limited role in the diagnosis of MIFS. Several genetic alterations have been identified in MIFS, including a t(1;10)(p22;q24) translocation with TGFBR3 and/or OGA rearrangements, BRAF rearrangement, and VGLL3 amplification. Although it appears that VGLL3 amplification is the most consistent alteration, the molecular pathogenesis of MIFS remains poorly understood. A wide resection is considered the standard treatment for MIFS. Radiotherapy may be a viable option in cases with inadequate surgical margins or cases where surgery is likely to cause significant functional impairment. The systemic treatment options for advanced or metastatic disease are very limited. This review provides an updated overview of the clinicoradiological features, pathogenesis, histopathology, and treatment of MIFS.

Gene fusions in poroma, porocarcinoma and related adnexal skin tumours: An update

Poroma is a benign sweat gland tumour showing morphological features recapitulating the superficial portion of the eccrine sweat coil. A subset of poromas may transform into porocarcinoma, its malignant counterpart. Poroma and porocarcinoma are characterised by recurrent gene fusions involving YAP1, a transcriptional co-activator, which is controlled by the Hippo signalling pathway. The fusion genes frequently involve MAML2 and NUTM1, which are also rearranged in other cutaneous and extracutaneous neoplasms. We aimed to review the clinical, morphological and molecular features of this category of adnexal neoplasms with a special focus upon emerging differential diagnoses, and discuss how their systematic molecular characterisation may contribute to a standardisation of diagnosis, more accurate classification and, ultimately, refinement of their prognosis and therapeutic modalities.

Untying the Gordian knot of composite hemangioendothelioma: Discovery of novel fusions

Composite hemangioendothelioma is a rare, locally aggressive, and rarely metastasizing vascular neoplasm which affects both children and adults. Recently, a number of gene fusions including YAP1::MAML2, PTBP1::MAML2, and EPC1::PHC2 have been detected in a small subset of cases with or without neuroendocrine expression. Herein, we present four additional cases with novel in-frame fusions. The cohort comprises two females and two males with a wide age range at diagnosis (24-80 years). Two tumors were deep involving the right brachial plexus and mediastinum, while the remaining were superficial (right plantar foot and abdominal wall). The size ranged from 1.5 to 4.8 cm in greatest dimension. Morphologically, all tumors had an admixture of at least two architectural patterns including retiform hemangioendothelioma, hemangioma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, or angiosarcoma. The tumors were positive for endothelial markers CD31 (3/3), ERG (4/4), and D2-40 (1/4, focal), while SMA was expressed in 2/3 highlighting the surrounding pericytes. Synaptophysin showed immunoreactivity in 2/3 cases. One patient had a local recurrence after 40 months, while two patients had no evidence of disease 4 months post-resection. Targeted RNA sequencing detected novel in-frame fusions in each of the cases: HSPG2::FGFR1, YAP1::FOXR1, ACTB::MAML2, and ARID1B::MAML2. The two cases with neuroendocrine expression occurred as superficial lesions and harbored YAP1::FOXR1 and ARID1B::MAML2 fusions. Our study expands on the molecular spectrum of this enigmatic tumor, further enhancing our current understanding of the disease.

Myxofibrosarcoma in adolescents and young adults: a clinicopathologic study of 17 cases

Myxofibrosarcoma is a locally aggressive sarcoma that characteristically arises in the extremities of older patients. Cases arising at a younger age are rare, leading to diagnostic challenges. Our aim was to study the clinicopathologic features of myxofibrosarcoma in patients aged ≤40 years. Cases of myxofibrosarcoma and myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma arising in patients aged ≤40 years with clinical follow-up were collected from multiple institutions. Hematoxylin and eosin slides were evaluated for mitoses, necrosis, and epithelioid areas. Seventeen cases were identified (13 females, 4 males; 16-39 years; median 32 years), tumors ranged from 2.2 to 34 cm (median 4.1 cm). Anatomic sites included proximal extremity (9), distal extremity (4), trunk (1), and head/neck (3). Ten were superficial, and 6 were deep-seated. Three cases were predominantly epithelioid. In untreated resection specimens, 6 were FNCLCC grade 1, 4 grade 2, and 2 grade 3. Follow-up (6-204 months, median 36 months) revealed that 2 patients experienced local recurrences, 1 distant metastasis, and 2 patients both. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were 84% and 55.9%, respectively. Tumor depth and necrosis were correlated with inferior OS (P = .025, P = .005), while tumor depth was also associated with worse EFS (P = <.001). We conclude that myxofibrosarcomas arising in adolescents and young adults show similar behavior compared to their older adult counterparts. Tumor depth and necrosis are poor prognostic factors in myxofibrosarcoma in this age group. Awareness that myxofibrosarcoma can rarely present in this population is important for accurate diagnosis.

DICER1-mutated rhabdomyosarcoma of the ovary with teratoid features

DICER1-mutated rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare, emerging entity with a predilection for the gynecologic and genitourinary tracts. We report here a case of DICER1-mutated rhabdomyosarcoma of the ovary in a 14 years old girl which displayed interspersed mature teratoid glands, neuroectodermal rosettes and immature blastematous-like tubes. Morphologically the sarcomatous component predominated, corresponding to a high grade spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma with botryoid features. Islets of cartilage were present. The sarcomatous proliferation encased the teratoid glands, forming cambium layer-like arrangements. The sarcoma cells were Myogenin and MYOD1 positive, the neuroectodermal rosettes expressed SALL4 along with cytokeratins and EMA and were negative for Inhibin; immature blastematous-like tubes were negative for SALL4 and Inhibin. Whole RNA- and targeted DNA-sequencing revealed two DICER1 mutations in exon 26: c.5113G>A: p.(Glu1705Lys) and exon 12: c.1642C>T: p.(Gln548X). The sarcomatous component harbored a complex genetic profile while the teratoid component was diploid, none of the above displayed abnormality of 12p. DICER1-mutated sarcomas display pathological features similar to embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas, botryoid type. They also display heterogeneous features combining cartilage foci, teratoid mature glands, immature blastematous-like tubes and/or neuroectodermal components. Molecular testing remains necessary to confirm the diagnosis. Further studies need to clarify the nosology of DICER1-mutated sarcomas and devise specific therapeutic strategies.

Lipoblastoma-Like Tumor and Fibrosarcoma-Like Lipomatous Neoplasm Represent the Same Entity: A Clinicopathologic and Molecular Genetic Study of 23 Cases Occurring in Both Men and Women at Diverse Locations

Lipoblastoma-like tumor (LLT) is a benign soft tissue tumor demonstrating mixed morphologic features of lipoblastoma, myxoid liposarcoma, and spindle cell lipoma but lacking genetic alterations associated with those tumors. LLT was originally thought to be specific to the vulva but has since been reported in the paratesticular region. The morphologic features of LLT overlap with those of "fibrosarcoma-like lipomatous neoplasm" (FLLN), a rare, indolent adipocytic neoplasm considered by some to form part of the spectrum of atypical spindle cell and pleomorphic lipomatous tumor. We compared the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of 23 tumors previously classified as LLT (n = 17) and FLLN (n = 6). The 23 tumors occurred in 13 women and 10 men (mean age, 42 years; range, 17 to 80 years). Eighteen (78%) cases arose in the inguinogenital region, whereas 5 tumors (22%) involved noninguinogenital soft tissue, including the flank (n = 1), shoulder (n = 1), foot (n = 1), forearm (n = 1), and chest wall (n = 1). Microscopically, the tumors were lobulated and septated, with variably collagenized fibromyxoid stroma, prominent thin-walled vessels, scattered univacuolated or bivacuolated lipoblasts, and a minor component of mature adipose tissue. Using immunohistochemistry, 5 tumors (42%) showed complete RB1 loss, with partial loss in 7 cases (58%). RNA sequencing, chromosomal microarray, and DNA next-generation sequencing study results were negative for significant alterations. There were no clinical, morphologic, immunohistochemical, or molecular genetic differences between cases previously classified as LLT or FLLN. Clinical follow-up (11 patients [48%]; range, 2-276 months; mean, 48.2 months) showed all patients were alive without disease, and only one patient had experienced a single local recurrence. We conclude that LLT and FLLN represent the same entity, for which "LLT" seems most appropriate. LLT may occur in either sex and any superficial soft tissue location. Careful morphologic study and appropriate ancillary testing should allow for the distinction of LLT from its potential mimics.

Giant Cell Tumors With HMGA2::NCOR2 Fusion : Clinicopathologic, Molecular, and Epigenetic Study of a Distinct Entity

Giant cell tumors (GCTs) with high mobility group AT-Hook 2 ( HMGA2 )::nuclear receptor corepressor 2 ( NCOR2 ) fusion are rare mesenchymal tumors of controversial nosology, which have been anecdotally reported to respond to CSFR1 inhibitors. Here, we performed a comprehensive study of 6 GCTs with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and explored their relationship with other giant cell-rich neoplasms. Tumors occurred in 4 females and 2 males ranging in age from 17 to 32 years old (median 24). Three lesions originated in subcutaneous soft tissue and 3 in bone. Tumor size ranged from 20 to 33 mm (median 27 mm). The lesions had a nodular/multinodular architecture and were composed of sheets of mononuclear "histiocytoid" cells with uniform nuclei intermingled with multinucleated giant cells. Mitotic activity was low and nuclear atypia and metaplastic bone were absent. Variable findings included necrosis, cystic degeneration, lymphocytic infiltrate (sometimes forming nodules), and xanthogranulomatous inflammation. On immunohistochemistry, all cases focally expressed pan-keratin and were negative with SATB2 and H3.3G34W. Whole RNA-sequencing was performed in all cases of GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and a subset of giant cell-rich tumors (tenosynovial-GCT, n = 19 and "wild-type" GCT of soft tissue, n = 9). Hierarchical clustering of RNA-sequencing data showed that GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion formed a single cluster, independent of the other 2 entities. Methylome profiling showed similar results, but the distinction from "wild-type" GCT of soft tissue was less flagrant. Gene expression analysis showed similar levels of expression of the CSF1/CSFR1 axis between GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and tenosynovial-GCT, supporting their potential sensitivity to CSFR1 inhibitors. Clinical follow-up was available for 5 patients (range: 10 to 64 mo; median 32 mo). Three patients (60%) experienced local recurrences, whereas none had distant metastases or died of disease. Overall, our study confirms and expands previous knowledge on GCT with HMGA2::NCOR2 fusion and supports its inclusion as an independent entity.

An update on selected cutaneous (myo) fibroblastic mesenchymal tumors

Cutaneous (myo)fibroblastic tumors constitute a group of tumors with overlapping clinicopathological features and variable biologic behavior. In the present review we focus on the histomorphology, immunohistochemical profile and molecular background of the following entities: dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCD34FT), myxoinflammatory sarcoma (MIFS), low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma, solitary fibrous tumor and nodular fasciitis. Although some of these entities typically arise in deep-seated locations, they may occasionally present as cutaneous/superficial tumors and might be challenging to recognize. This review covers in depth the latest advances in molecular diagnostics and immunohistochemical markers that have significantly facilitated the correct classification and diagnosis of these neoplasms.

Malignant undifferentiated epithelioid neoplasms with MAML2 rearrangements: A clinicopathologic study of seven cases demonstrating a heterogenous entity

Among mesenchymal tumors, MAML2 gene rearrangements have been described in a subset of composite hemangioendothelioma and myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS). However, we have recently encountered MAML2-related fusions in a group of seven undifferentiated malignant epithelioid neoplasms that do not fit well to any established pathologic entities. The patients included five males and two female, aged 41-71 years old (median 65 years). The tumors involved the deep soft tissue of extremities (hip, knee, arm, hand), abdominal wall, and the retroperitoneum. Microscopically, the tumors consisted of solid sheets of atypical epithelioid to histiocytoid cells with abundant cytoplasm. Prominent mitotic activity and necrosis were present in 4 cases. In 3 cases, the cells displayed hyperchromatic nuclei or conspicuous macronucleoli, and were admixed with background histiocytoid cells and a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. By immunohistochemistry (IHC), the neoplastic cells had a nonspecific phenotype. On targeted RNA sequencing, MAML2 was the 3' partner and fused to YAP1 (4 cases), ARHGAP42 (2 cases), and ENDOD1 (1 case). Two cases with YAP1::MAML2 harbored concurrent RAF kinase fusions (RBMS3::RAF1 and AGK::BRAF, respectively). In 2 cases with targeted DNA sequencing, mutations in TP53, RB1 and PTEN were detected in 1 case, and PDGFRB mutations, CCNE1 amplifications and CDKN2A/2B deletion were detected in another case, which showed strong and diffuse PDGFRB expression by IHC. Of the 4 cases with detailed clinical history (median follow-up period 8 months), three developed distant metastatic disease (one of which died of disease); one case remained free of disease 3 years following surgical excision. In conclusion, we describe a heterogeneous series of MAML2-rearranged undifferentiated malignant epithelioid neoplasms, a subset of which may overlap with a recently described MIFS variant with YAP1::MAML2 fusions, further expanding the clinicopathologic spectrum of mesenchymal neoplasms with recurrent MAML2 gene rearrangements.
