title: [Sarcomas: from pathology to molecular pathology and new nosology].
abstract: Sarcomas are rare tumors the pathological classification of which is complex, leading to relatively common diagnostic discordances. In about half of the cases, simple and specific genomic abnormalities have been described. This currently allows a better definition and a more reproducible classification of sarcoma types. Also, knowledge of these abnormalities allows a better targeted and efficient therapeutic approach.
