Soft tissue sarcomas constitute a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors of mesenchymal origin, the classification of which may present a diagnostic challenge. We present here the cytological, histopathological, immunohistochemical, and cytogenetic findings of an unusual case of a highly aggressive sarcoma. Based on the morphology and the immunohistochemical profile, this primitive tumor and its metastases could not be conclusively classified as any of the defined subtypes of sarcomas, although the findings were suggestive of a variant of rhabdomyosarcoma. Cytogenetic characterization using G-banding, SKY, FISH, and CGH revealed almost identical chromosomal compositions of the primary tumor and the metastasis. The hypertetraploid karyotype was characterized by numerical imbalances as well as by an unbalanced translocation t(1;19)(q12;q13.2), which has not been previously reported.
