Immunophenotypic profile and FISH analysis in a case of Ewing's sarcoma.
Ewing's sarcoma arising in the right fibula was diagnosed in a 12 years old female, considering clinical presentation, radiological findings and histological features. Our work points towards a possible neuroectodermal origin of Ewing's sarcoma, since MIC2/12E7 marker was found to be positive. Translocation t (11;22) (q24;q12) was found as the main cytogenetic change in this tumor, by means of FISH analysis.
