Discussion

Suggests neurogenic origin for alveolar soft-part sarcoma; hypothesis-generating and requires validation in larger series.

Population

1 patient with alveolar soft-part sarcoma

Intervention

Immunohistochemistry, cytogenetic analysis, and molecular probes for MyoD1 and MYCN

Outcome

Tumor cell of origin characterizationsurrogate

This case study provides molecular and cytogenetic evidence suggesting a neurogenic, rather than myogenic, origin for alveolar soft-part sarcoma.

Cullinane et al. (1992) studied this question.
