Abstract

Soft tissue tumors in infants encompass an overlapping spectrum of diseases posing unique diagnostic and clinical challenges. Here, the authors investigate the genetic basis of cryptogenic congenital mesoblastic nephroma and infantile fibrosarcoma lacking the canonical NTRK3-ETV6 fusion gene, and identify therapeutically tractable intragenic rearrangements in EGFR and BRAF.
