oectodermal tumour/Ewing sarcoma<br />

[primarily t(11;22)(q24;q12), t(21;22)<br />

(q22;q12), and t(7;22)(p22;q12)], and<br />

alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma [t(2;13)<br />

(q35;q14) and t(1;13)(p36;q14)] {1444}.<br />

RT-PCR tests are available for the four<br />

fully malignant tumours listed here.<br />

These tests can often be performed on<br />

fresh or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded<br />

tissue.<br />

Prognosis<br />

Superficial, benign mesenchymal lesions<br />

generally can be expected to have a low<br />

recurrence rate. Deep-seated benign<br />

lesions have a greater propensity for<br />

local recurrence. Tumours listed in the<br />

intermediate biologic potential category<br />

have a high rate of local recurrence, but<br />

only rarely give rise to metastases. The<br />

outcome for patients with Kaposi sarcoma<br />

is dependent on a variety of factors,<br />

including immune status and the extent<br />

of disease. However, the majority of<br />

patients with Kaposi sarcoma die of an<br />

unrelated event. There is insufficient data<br />

to provide site-specific prognostic information<br />

for the remainder of the sarcomas<br />

listed above.<br />
